POWER TRAIN
My 2016 outlander started having a burning plastic smell. I made a trip back home and thankfully made it safely because I started having issues with accelerating. I would push the gas gently and barely go but my car would Rev up to 4-5 rpms. I could put my foot to the floor and it wouldn't speed up at all. After checking the transmission fluid and seeing it was on the lower side we added a little more in hopes it would help but it did not. I was low on gas after my trip so I drove to the closet store so it wouldn't be sitting with no gas and At this point the transmission service required warning came up. It started revving up even worse with the slightest touch of the gas and I could barley get it to back out of a spot or take off from a stop sign. We were trying to get it to a neutral location that we knew it would be safe and while drinking it there it started jumping and the check engine light came on. I had it towed to a repair shop who verified it is a transmission issue but said they recommend a dealer fix only. My car is a 2016, had 1 previous owner and only has 58347 miles on it.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The entire undercarriage is rusted out, it was taken to Ricart near columbus ohio where they simply sprayed an anti rust coating over the existing rust. There is now rusted holes and the vehicle has spun out driving in straight due to control arm issues and whatever else. The vehicle is not believed to be road safe and needs to be addressed.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The vehicle shows a check engine light after refueling. After some troubleshooting, I found that the issue is the cap-less fuel fill system. After some time, the check engine goes away. Or in some cases never does. This creates an issue because the vehicle does not remote start due to the present check engine light.

POWER TRAIN
1) Transmission or power train 2) The vehicle may be inspected at request 3) The vehicle starts and may go for about a mile, and then it will buck and act like it's in neutral for all gears. I got stuck in the middle of an intersection turning left. I managed to get it back home, and then needed help pushing it into the driveway, where it sits. 4) I have seen several similar complaints for the years; 2012, and 2014 through 2021. 5) The vehicle has been worked on, and the valve body for the transmission was replaced about a month ago. 6) The warning message that popped up just before the issue was "Transmission service is required." It appeared on 9/27/2021, the day I was giving a ride to someone across town. I had recently replaced the valve body, because the solenoids were failing, and the transmission itself was serviced.

My catalytic converter just went in my vehicle. I was told by dealership that the warranty expired by months. I contacted Mitsubishi and a case was opened. I was called by them today and they wont make an exception even though my mieage is well under the 80000 miles (under by over 28,000 miles) When I asked to talk to a manager I was told no and no exception would be made. I just want them to pay for the defective part.

STRUCTURE:BODY
My 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander hood vibrates during drives. The vibration starts when the car is moving around 35 - 40 mph or more. I confirmed that it was properly closed, but it concerns me because this repetitive movement may loosen the hood locking system during any future drive. This problem may cause a potentially fatal accident.

I was at a 24 hr storage unit. It was dim & I needed to unload from the rear hatch door so I backed to the open storage unit door in its upright position as high as I could get it & stopped at a safe distance from the doorway so the car door would not catch the storage unit door. I put the vehicle in PARK to have some lighting & double checked before I got out- gear shift securely in PARK. I opened the car's rear door & started unloading without overly disturbing the vehicle or causing any unnecessary movement. I had just turned my back to the car door to put down some boxes in the unit. As I turned back to the car to retrieve another item, I noticed movement. There was a rapid simultaneous series of events: I felt the rear hatch hit my nose, I heard a crash with shattering glass & I tried to jump clear. It was over in minutes . I was inside the storage unit and had to squeeze out to try to free the storage unit door. The door had fallen and gotten wedged between the rear frame of the car & behind the back wiper. I gently freed the door after much diigent effort. Once freed, the car proceeded to move forward on its own before I could access it to shut off the engine, & it eventually crashed into the opposite storage unit. I accessed the vehicle at that time & reversed away from the buildings so the car was equidistant from both buildings & facing an area where it would do minimal harm if it moved again, though I did cut off the engine. Verified vehicle was in PARK. The car had damage to the whole rear area, & damage to the driver's side bumper. Front wheels had been turned right so the car's trajectory was a wide right arc. i tried calling the rental facility manager but there was no after hours number & no answer, so I called city police who promptly arrived within minutes; one vehicle immediately drove up & I quickly punched in my gate access code for easier entry. This vehicle was followed by another white pickup who punched a code on the keypad & let himself

Failure to accelerate when engaging gas pedal. Exact same issue that the 2016 mitsubishi sport recalls are having with thr cvt transmissions. The 2016 Outlander that we have also has a cvt transmission and is experiencing the same delay issues as previous cvt transmission recalls. We were almost in a wreck, with our children in the vehicle after making a turn onto a busy highway and then were unable to accelerate to get out of the way. The vehicle thinks the transmission is in neutral while it is in drive.
