ENGINE
THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, BUT NOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE WHICH CAUSED BITS TO BREAK OFF AND FALL INTO THE NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (THERE ARE ONLY 4 PARTS IN THE NATION FOR THIS??) AND THE NEW, LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS TO BE CLEANED OUT OF ALL THE RUSTY METAL BITS. THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHEN IDLE (RPMS JUMP UP AND DOWN SLIGHTLY IN IDLE), QUIETS A BIT ONCE YOU HIT 2-3K RPMS AND THEN IS LOUD AGAIN AROUND 1-2K RPMS. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS NEARLY A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE! I DON'T LIVE NEAR THE OCEAN OR A PLACE WHERE IT SNOWS FREQUENTLY. MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE RUST IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE OTHER RECALL JUST LAST YEAR. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR WEEKS SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED. THEY TOLD ME IT'S OUT OF MY WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CAR IS AT 75K MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
KEEPING THIS SIMPLE, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND I WAS SMELLING GAS. TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS TANK, NEAR THE TALK, RUSTED AS IT PROBABLY WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN, IT SEEMS IT IS RIGHT AROUND WHERE IT CONNECTS TOGETHER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I NOTICED THAT IT WAS ON CARS, BUT NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, AS IT JEOPARDIZED THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILD.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
AT ONLY 76,000 MILES, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER WHEN GOING ANYWHERE FROM 10 MPH-40 MPH. THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS ON A CITY STREET BUT CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON SO, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TEST DRIVING IT, THEY SIMPLY HAD TO RESET THE SENSOR. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR WAS STILL SHUDDERING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER GETTING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS ADVISED TO DO BY THE MITSUBISHI MECHANICS, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. AT 76,000 THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY MAJOR TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE ISSUES. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR THAT I WILL END UP IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A STANDSTILL, OR WHEN ACCELERATING AGAIN AFTER EITHER CONSTANT SPEED OPERATION OR COASTING THE TRANSMISSION WILL DELAY IN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING. WHILE AT 60-65 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL FLUCTUATE IN RPM AND TRY TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017. WHEN BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I WENT TO AUTOZONE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT IS STATING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BANK 1 HAS ISSUES. SO WHEN I PARKED IT THIS MORNING 4-24-18 BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT GOING ONE FOR THE TRANSMISSION, I TRIED STARTING IT AND IT STARTED BUT HESITATED AND THEN ALL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING UP WITH THE ECU TOO. I KNOW THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2015 OUTLANDER SPORTS BUT WHY NOT MINE WHEN I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THANK YOU
