I own a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Mitsubishi's records show that Safety Recall C2204R/SR-22-004 was previously completed on my vehicle. This recall addressed improper CVT-ECU software programming that could cause an incorrect CVT gear-ratio command and potentially result in engine over-rev, engine damage, stalling, and an increased risk of a crash. My vehicle experiences serious and concerning problems following sustained driving at highway speeds. The vehicle begins to sputter and does not operate normally. Multiple dashboard warning lights begin flashing, and the backup camera activates and displays on the screen even though the vehicle is actively traveling forward and has not been placed in reverse. Because of these experiences, I intentionally avoid driving my vehicle for extended periods at higher highway speeds. I am particularly concerned about whether these symptoms could be associated with the CVT, CVT-ECU, vehicle electronics, or the condition previously addressed by Safety Recall C2204R/SR-22-004. The fact that Mitsubishi's records indicate the recall was completed raises additional concern for me about whether the recall remedy remains effective or whether my vehicle is experiencing a related condition. I am requesting that NHTSA document and review this complaint to determine whether my vehicle may be experiencing a recurrence or continuation of the condition addressed by C2204R/SR-22-004, an issue with the effectiveness of the recall remedy, or another safety-related defect. I am especially concerned about the possibility of loss of vehicle performance while traveling at highway speeds and the abnormal activation of the backup camera while the vehicle is moving forward.

At freeway speeds in the heat the vehicle intermittently and suddenly flashes yellow check engine light and vehicle shakes as it loses most of the engine power, forcing a slow or stop to "limp it" off the highway. No warnings no noises no change in emissions noted. Calls to dealerships and have been told they don't know what it is and haven't heard of any issues.
