POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I JUST PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT GT WITH AN ODOMETER OF AROUND 6043 MILES AT TIME OF PURCHASE. IN THE LAST 2 DAYS SINCE PURCHASING, I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT A COMPLETE HALT, WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD, THERE IS A WAITING DELAY OF A SECOND AND THEN THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. THE DELAYED RESPONSE WHERE THE CAR DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS CAN HAPPEN AFTER BEING IN A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, OR ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE COMPLETE STOPPING DURING TRAFFIC. EVEN WHEN PUSHING HARDER ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE FORWARD, THE CAR STILL HAS A DELAYED RESPONSE AND THEN SURGES FORWARD AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN ENTERING INTO AN INTERSECTION OR CROSSING THAT HAS PUT ME IN CLOSE CALL SITUATIONS. I AM CURRENTLY AROUND 6077 MILES AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ANNOUNCED FOR THE OUTLANDER SPORT 2016 REGARDING ISSUES WITH THE CVT AND A DELAYED ACCELERATION. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND MENTIONED THE RECALL AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE BUT THEY SAID ON THE CARFAX THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPECIFIC CAR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS IN THE MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION OF MY SUV. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND ITS AS THOUGH MY CAR IS STANDING STILL THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER THE ACCELERATE STARTS TO WORK AND MOVE THE CAR, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE OF THIS. I NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I'M TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WILL BE CRASHED OR EVEN KILLED DUE TO WHAT EVER IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR

DRIVER SIDE FRONT POWER WINDOW MAKES THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MAKE NOISE ANYTIME IT IS ROLLED UP. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ISSUES, IT ONLY REMAINS FIXED FOR A FEW CYCLES OF THE WINDOW. IT'S LIKE A CREAKING PLASTICY NOISE, NONE OF THE OTHER WINDOWS DO THIS. SEVERELY ANNOYING ON SOMETHING SO NEW WITH LESS THAN 7K MILES, AND EMBARRASSING WITH CUSTOMERS IN VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION IN MY 2013 OUTLANDER SPORT. ALTHOUGH AT THE TIME OF IMPACT I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING BETWEEN 45-55 MPH, AND THE IMPACT AREA OF MY VEHICLE WAS ALL FRONT END, NOT ONE SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
TAKATA RECALL WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE MAKES A WINING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE WHEN I AM DRIVING. SECOND PROBLEM IS THE MY WINDHIELD WIPER NO LONGER HOLD WATER AND IT IS LEAKING OUT COMPLETELY. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKED WHEN PURCHASED AND THE ENGINE LOUD WINING NOISE JUST STARTED IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE WINDSHIELD STOP WORKING. THE ENGINE NOISE IS WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE WIPER JUST STARTED LEAKING IT HAS A HOLD IN THE RESERVER I BELIEVE.

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR HAD THE SAFETY RECALL FIXED, THE COMPUTER FOR THE SLOW ACCELERATION. SINCE THEN, THE SHIFTING HAS BEEN OFF. ANYTIME YOU SPEED UP, THE RPM'S GO VERY HIGH UNTIL YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO EXPLODE. I'VE TRIED TO HAVE THE DEALER FIX, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. MITSUBISHI SAYS THE DEALER TOLD THEM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SO, IT'S JUST SUPPOSED TO RUN AT A HIGH RPM ANYTIME I SPEED UP? WILL THAT NOT CAUSE DAMAGE? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT SUV AFTER OWNING A MONTERO SPORT AND LOVING IT FOR OVER 12 YEARS. I NOTICED WITHIN A MONTH THAT WHEN I WOULD START OFF FROM A STOPLIGHT, MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD JUMP LIKE IT WAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. DURING THIS JUMP, MY SUV WOULD SLOW DOWN AND NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN IT DID KICK IN, IT WOULD JERK ME FORWARD. I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR ARE MANY EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAVE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT IN 2 DAYS. I SURE HOPE THIS REPAIR TAKES CARE OF THE ISSUE OR THE NHTSA WILL TAKE STEPS TO INSURE THAT CONSUMERS ARE SAFE DRIVING ON OUR USA ROADS. *TR

AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION, NOTICED THAT THE DRIVE BELT HAD COME OFF THE PULLEYS COMPLETELY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I DO NOT HAVE AN AUTO LIGHT FUNCTION ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON, EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH IS TURNED TO OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE THE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE WORKING AT THAT MOMENT THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM (DESPITE MY SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT WAS OCCURRING AND THE DANGERS DRIVING WITH NO TURN SIGNALS POSES). INITIALLY THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, BUT NOW IT WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY WHEN I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS COME ON THEN THE TURN SIGNALS STOP WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING, I NOTICE A HESITATION, SOMETIMES TO SLOW AND SOMETIMES A BURST OF SPEED. THIS IS USUALLY STARTING OUT OR TRYING TO SLOW OR STOP. I ALSO AT THE SAME TIME NOTICE SOMETIMES MAYBE HITTING BRAKES LEADS TO THIS. NOT SURE IF POWER TRAIN OR ELECTRICAL BUT VERY CONCERNED. ALSO, I HAD A FRIEND THAT HAD A 2015 OUTLANDER AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EXECUTE AT 50 MPH ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY HIGH CONCERN. I CHECKED VIN BUT DID NOT SEE ANYTHING.
