ENGINE
I OWN A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT WITH 110,000 MILES ON IT. OTHER THAN THE RECALLS I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES. FREQUENT OIL CHANGES, BRAKES, BASIC MAINTENANCE NOTHING ELSE. MINOR ACCELERATION ISSUES AS PER THE RECALL. I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE PARKWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH AND HEARD A SUDDEN KNOCK, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND DIED. THANKFULLY I REACTED QUICKLY AND PULLED OVER THE MINUTE I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I GOT OUT AND THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE ROAD WAY. BEING A NOVICE MECHANIC I PRETTY MUCH KNEW THE ENGINE WAS DEAD. TOWED TO HEALEY BRS MITSUBISHI BEACON NY AND 4 DAYS LATER THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR THE SUDDEN FAILURE BUT DID CONFIRM THAT IT WAS SUDDEN AND NOT DUE TO ANY LACK OF MAINTENANCE ON MY PART. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE, ON A DARK HIGHWAY ON CHRISTMAS EVE. I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS SAFE BUT STILL WANT AN EXPLANATION. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO USED TO WORK FOR MITSUBISHI INFORMED ME THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THIRD PISTON ON THESE ENGINES BUT THE MECHANIC IN BEACON WOULD NOT CONFIRM EITHER WAY.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:INTERNAL:CVT, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED FEELING LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING. I PULLED OVER CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I WAS MILES FROM THE NEAREST TOWN. SO I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND STARTED REVVING UP. I TURNED THE HAZARD ON AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND THE ENGINE REVED AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WENT OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND WAS ABLE TO BACK UP TO GET FURTHER OVER OFF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED OFF. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SAFE LOCATION. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER SHIP AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE CVT AND IT WAS INTERNAL. I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE TO WHOLE UNIT REPLACED. THEY QUOTED ME AROUND 7,000. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW CALLED TO GET MORE INFO AND THEY QUOTED HIM AROUND 4,000. THERE ARE 108,000 MILES ON MY 2015. SO IT'S OVER WARRANTY AND I FELT LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO RIP ME OFF. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THIS TYPE OF THING HAPPENING. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH THIS HAPPENING OUT OF NOWHERE.

HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW DAYS NOW I TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT SEEMS AS IT WILL FAIL ME SOON. I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION OR STARTER. IT'S A NEW CAR BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2017. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD ALSO RECALL THE 2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. ALSO SEAT BELTS DON'T LOCK .

SEAT BELTS
REPORT RECEIPT DATE: NOV 21, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V744000 MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE PASSENGER SEATBELT WHICH HAS BECOME LOOSE AND DOES NOT LATCH ANYMORE. THEY ARE SAYING THIS RECALL DOES NOT AFFECT MY VIN #. MY CAR IS ALSO A 2014, I THINK YOU NEED TO REVISE YOUR RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VIN # AND ALL OTHERS THAT WERE PRODUCED THE SAME DAY, AS THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO MINE AND AVOID LOSS OF LIFE AND THE LIABILITIES THAT CAN COME FROM THAT.
