ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY STEPDAUGHTER DROVE TO WORK MONDAY (8/9/16) AND COULD NOT REMOVE HER KEY, SWITCH ONLY WENT BACK TO ACC POSITION. I ARRIVED AND LOOKED IT OVER, STARTED MOTOR, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THEN BACK TO PARK, CUT OFF SWITCH AND TURNED ALL WAY TO OFF POSITION THIS TIME. SOUNDS LIKE ISSUE WITH IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER. IT'S A 2015 WITH LESS THAN 10K MILES. SHE TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO BASICALLY ACCUSED HER OF SPILLING LIQUID DOWN INTO SHIFTER, HOWEVER ONCE THEY SAY CONDITION OF CAR KNEW THIS WASN'T CASE. TOLD HER THEY WILL REPAIR IT A WEEK FROM YESTERDAY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY 4 YEAR OLD BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTER RIDES IN THAT CAR (HER MOTHER'S) PRIMARILY. I'M GOING TO DEALERSHIP UPON OPENING IN MORNING BECAUSE WE NEED A LOANER CAR FOR MY STEPDAUGHTER TO USE UNTIL HER OUTLANDER IS FULLY EQUIPPED WITH THE SAFETY REPAIR. SHE HAD ONLY HAD CAR LITTLE OVER 3 MONTHS, IT'S LEAST THEY WILL DO. MY STEPDAUGHTER IS ALOT NICER THAN MYSELF. I'M NOT HAVING MY STEPDAUGHTER OR GRANDDAUGHTER IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. WILL BE DEMANDING AND RECEIVING LOANER CAR FOR HER IN THE MORNING.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING. MYCAR WILL JUMP FOR ONE SECOND OR SO, THEN TOTALLY FAILS TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WILL STAY QUEIT FOR COUPLE SECOND EVEN IF I STEP ON THE GAS AS HARD AS I CAN. THEN AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, MY RPM WIL JUMP TO AROUND 5000RPM WITHOUT ANY SIGN. THERE WERE SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS FOR ME IN THE PAST FEW MONTH. WHEN I JUST ENTERED A ROUNDABOUT, THE ISSUE OCCURED AND MY CAR WON'T ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REARENED BY OTHER CARS THAT WERE ALREADY IN THE ROUNDABOUT. I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO, AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE PROGRAMMING, AND I SHOULD BE ALL SET AFTER THEY UPDATED MY CAR'S SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE IN PAST COUPLE MONTHS. THE PROBLEMS HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEED (20MPH), AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR DRIVING INTO A ROUNDABOUT. THE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE PEOPLE ON THE CAR AND OTHER CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME. I AM HAVING IMMENSE PRESURE WHENEVER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR WHEN I TRY TO TURN INTO A ROAD OR ROUNDABOUT. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO TAKE ACTIONS AND ASK THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM!

WHILE DRIVING DURING ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN THE VECHILE LOSES POWER AND HESITATES LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OR TAKES FEW MINUTES FOR RPM TO KICK IN SO WE CAN GET LITTLE SPEED AND MOVE CAR.. THIS HAPPENS INTEMITTENT AND IS NW BACK AT THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME BUT ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THERE IS NO CODE SO THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING.

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ON. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR BENEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND COSTS $1700. THEY ARE SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THIS SEEMS TO A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING DURING ACCELERATION AFTER I HAVE STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND JERKS AND JUMPS BEFORE I CAN ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE TEST DRIVING IT AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHILE TRYING TO GO THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AGO WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES ON IT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
TAILGATE IS RUSTING NEAR THE LIFT GATE HANDLE AND ALSO BOTH SIDES OF THE UPPER PART NEAR THE GLASS WHERE THE TAILGATE MEETS THE SPOILER. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MITSUBISHI THEY WILL NOT HONOR ANY RUST ISSUES UNLESS I AM ABLE TO POKE A HOLE THROUGH THE AFFECTED AREAS. MEANWHILE THE CAR IS CLEARLY RUSTING AND THE PLASTIC HANDLE WHICH IS AROUND THE RUSTED AREA ON THE TAILGATE IS COMING LOOSE DUE TO THE RUST. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME RUST ISSUE.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS VEHICLE HESITATION, I WILL BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. I'VE ALSO BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE HAD IT REV UP AND JUMP FORWARD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP PROBABLY ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND I MUST BE IMAGINING IT. SERIOUSLY WITH ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING I'M NOT IMAGINING IT. THIS IS A 2015 SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT SCARES ME SOMETIMES. I WAS TOLD MY CAR MIGHT NEED TO BE REALIGNED BUT ALL THESE CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE? PLEASE CHECK ON THIS!

POWER TRAIN
ON 3/2/2016 I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON I-71 IN COLUMBUS OHIO. THE CAR AHEAD OF ME MOVED UP SO I PROCEEDED TO MOVE UP AS WELL. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, GENTLY PRESSED THE ACCELLERATOR AND THE CAR INITIALLY BEGAN TO MOVE, THEN LOST POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS THEN REENGAGED WITH A JERK. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED FROM THE CAR BEHIND BE BECAUSE THEY HAD NO WARNING THAT MY CAR WAS GOING TO ESSENTIALLY STOP MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS THE 2'ND REPORT THAT I HAVE MADE ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAD ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON IT AND THIS TIME IT HAD ABOUT 8,700. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLETE A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROGRAM AND THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT CLEARLY IT DIDN'T. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO LET THEM LOOK AT IT AGAIN BUT I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IN ORDER FOR VEHICLES TO BE SAFE THEY MUST BE PREDICTABLE AND THIS CARS ACCELLERATION FROM A STOP IS NOT PREDICTABLE. THE FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE ISN'T THAT HIGH BUT IT ONLY TAKES 1 OCCURRENCE WHEN THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED TO POSSIBLY LOOSE YOUR LIFE. MY STATE HAS A LEMON LAW FOR NEW VEHICLES SO I PLAN TO INITIATE THE PROCESS, MY LIFE IS WORTH MORE TO ME THAN IT APPEARS TO BE WORTH TO MITSUBISHI.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OVER NIGHT, MY BATTERY DIED. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR ON, THE WINDSHIELD WHISPERS WOULD GO CRAZY, RADIO WOULD TURN ON, BUT NOT THE CAR. PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, CAR IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD. THE NEW BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED NOW. WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, THE RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, THE FOG LIGHTS STROBE, AND THERE IS A BEEPING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP TEASED EVERYTHING AND FOUND THAT IT IS THE ECU (ELECTRICAL CONTROL UNIT) WHICH IS ON RECALL FOR MY MAKE, YEAR, AND MODEL, BUT NOT FOR MY CAR BASED OFF THE VIN. IT IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING WRONG IN OTHER VEHICLES EXACTLY MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO MY VIN #.

POWER TRAIN
I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING VEHICLE HESITATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A SLOW DOWN. I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH ABOUT 500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. IT NOW HAS 1,200 AND IS STILL DOING IT. FROM A COMPLETE STOP, IT WILL NOT ALWAYS GO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED AND WHEN IT DOES GO, IT JERKS LIKE IT JUST SHIFTED INTO GEAR. THAT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES JUST TODAY. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN RIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT AS SOON AS I TRIED TO SPEED UP, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD CARS BEHIND ME AND WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET REAR-ENDED. I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE ACCELERATOR STARTED WORKING AGAIN. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND, SO THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS. I WAS IN TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN RIGHT AWAY IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I CALLED TODAY TO TELL THEM IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THEY CAN'T GET ME IN FOR OVER A WEEK TO LOOK AT IT. BY THAT TIME IT PROBABLY WON'T BE HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT BUT IT'S MY ONLY VEHICLE. I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT ON IT YET. I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LEMON THAT NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

MY 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT HAS ALSO SEEMED TO HESITATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I'D HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS AGAIN TO GO. A SLIGHT JERK FEEL. I BOUGHT IT IN MARCH 2015 AND IT'S DONE THIS SINCE MAY WITH ONLY AROUND 5000 MILES. I MOSTLY DRIVE HIGHWAY SO TO FEEL THIS WHEN YA COMING INTO A TOWN HAS ME CONCERNED. BUT OF COURSE BY THEN THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THE DEALER SEES NOTHING WRONG BUT I'M SURE WITH ALL OF US POSTING THE SAME COMMON ISSUE, THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. GUESS I'M STUCK WITH THE WORRY UNTIL I CAN TRADE IT IN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE ACCELERATION FAILED MOMENTARILY WERE FOLLOWED BY A RECALL. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE ISSUE WAS 'CORRECTED", ACCELERATION FAILED TO GENERATE A SPEED PAST 30 MPH FOR A FEW MOMENTS, THEN 25 MPH, AND I BARELY MANAGED TO GET BACK AT HOME AT NO MORE THAN 20 MPH. EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE GAS, IT CAUSED ACCELERATION TO DECREASE UNTIL I STOPPED AND COASTED AT 20.
