AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 63 MPH ON A RURAL BLACKTOP, WHEN A WHITE TAIL DEER RAN INTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR MEET. THE COLLISION CAUSED BOTH DOOR WINDOWS TO SHATTER, AND THE DOORS ARE DENTED SO BAD THEY CANNOT BE OPENED. THE SIDE AIRBAGS ON THE VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN AFTER TAKING A DIRECT HIT FROM THE DEER.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND A APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE, PERSON BICYCLE OR OBJECT, THE FCM, FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM IS SUPPOSE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE VEHICLE AND GIVE AND AUDIBLE ALERT. IT DOES NOTHING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CERRITOS MITSUBISHI IN CALIFORNIA AND ASKED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CONNECTED THE VEHICLE TO THEIR COMPUTER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND A CODE CAME BACK UNDER SYSTEM NAME: FCM/LDW/AHB, AND UNDER DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE C1809 (SYSTEM TEMPORARY NOT AVAILABLE). I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY NEEDED ME TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEEDED TO CALL MITSUBISHI TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT CODE WAS FOR. THEY CALL ME BACK THAT EVENING AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP AND SAID IT WAS WORKING FINE. I WENT OUT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC THE FCM WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. I SUSPECT THAT THEY JUST CLEARED THE CODE AND GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PUENTA HILLS MITSUBISHI (WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM) AND LEFT IT OVER THE WEEKEND. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY NEEDED ME TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEEDED TO CALL MITSUBISHI TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT CODE WAS FOR, AGAIN. THEY CALL ME BACK THAT EVENING AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP AND SAID THEY DROVE IT AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE FCM (FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION) STILL DOES NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE VEHICLE OR GIVE AND AUDIBLE ALERT. IT DOES NOTHING. RECALL NUMBER 18V621000 RECALL DATE 09/14/2018 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. (MMNA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION (FCM) CONSEQUENCE IF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS DO NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED, IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH

TRANSMISSION ISSUES/ FAILURE AT 116,000 MILES WITH KNOWN ISSUES FROM OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE/FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT FOR 'SPECIALTY' CVT TRANSMISSION UNREASONABLY PRICES TO REPLACE. THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE NOT DISCUSSED AT POINT OF SALE (WHICH IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SALESMAN) BUT ALSO NO DISCLOSURE FROM MITSUBISHI. THESE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD NOT FAIL SO SOON. WHEN DRIVING ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING NOT AS NORMAL AND THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT ENGAGES UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE YOUR TRANSMISSION FAILS. IT IS NOT SAFE!*DT CONSUMER STATED HER VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.*JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, NEW BATTERY DRAINING SO QUICKLY , THE VEHICLE SHAKING WHILE IDLE THEN SHUTS OFF. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ADDED TO THE ENGINE STALL RECALL EVEN WITH THESE PROBLEMS REPLICATING WHAT MITSUBISHI IDENTIFIES IN THERE PAST RECALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE MACANICS OR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTERS CANNOT IDENTIFY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BUT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A GOOD WHILE OR MAYBE A FEW HOURS THE CAR COULD JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE IN A HIGHWAY WHICH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME ENDANGERING ME AND MY FAMILY. I WRITE TO NHTSA TODAY SO THAT MY VEHICLE AS URGENTLY AS POSSIBLE CAN BE INCLUDED IN A INVESTIGATION FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE INCLUDED IN MITSUBISHI'S RECALL.

ROTARS PREMATURELY SEVERELY RUSTED. MAY BE RELATED TO THE FACT THAT NO PROTECTION WAS USED FOR THE CAR AGAINST ROCK SALT AS INDICATED IN LATEST SAFETY RECALL, WHICH ONLY MENTIONED THE FRONT CROSS MEMBERS. IF PROTECTION WAS NOT IN PLACE THIS WOULD AFFECT ANY AREA OF THE CAR THAT COULD CARRODE OR RUST WHERE EXPOSED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND PARKED ON A CITY STREET. WHEN I'M GOING TO TURN IT ON, THE CAR'S BATTERY IS DEAD. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS SAME SITUATION FIVE (5) TIMES. IN A PERIOD OF TWO (2) YEARS, THE CAR HAS DISCHARGED FIVE (5) NEW BATTERIES, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, I REQUEST THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SERVICE TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY AND IMMEDIATELY, TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY. THE DATES ON WHICH THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED ARE: 06/19/2018; 04/30/2019; 02/10/2019; 08/05/2020; 08/17/2020.

MY CAR STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A SURGE CONDITION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A TRANSMISSION SERVICE REQUIRED IS SHOWN AT THE DASHBOARD ALONG WITH A CODE P084A THAT WAS SCANNED AT THE DEALER. NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED HOW COME MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL THAT MITSUBISHI DID FOR 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT BACK IN APRIL OF 2020, SINCE THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS PER THE TSB-20-23-001 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT, IT GOES ONLY BY THE VIN #, AND MY CAR IS NOT LISTED. NOW THEY OFFERED MY A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR ALMOST $7K OR A USED ONE FOR $3.5 K I JUST CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY, MY CAR BARELY PASSED 100K (117K TO BE EXACT)
