I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE TOWARDS THE END OF OCTOBER WITH LESS THAN 40000 MILES AND I KEEP ENCOUNTERING AN ACCELERATION ISSUE AND HIGH ENGINE RPM, THE ISSUES PERIODICALLY 'RESOLVE' THEM SELF ONLY TO COME BACK A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, THE ISSUES I ENCOUNTER AREN'T EXACTLY THE SAME BUT I THINK THEY ARE VERY CLOSELY RELATED/CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER; ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED (0-30): I TEND TO NOTICE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AROUND 0-30 MPH WHERE I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND IS ACCELERATING, ACCELERATION IS VERY, VERY SLOW AND IT FEELS AS THOUGH SOMETHING IN/ON MY VEHICLE IS GIVING WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS 'RESISTANCE' TO ACCELERATE, THE FEELING IS VERY WEIRD AND I HAVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT AND I LACK THE VOCABULARY TO TRULY EXPLAIN WHAT THE ISSUE FEELS LIKE BUT I DO KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS DURING 0-~60 MPH ACCELERATION: WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC GOING 45-65 MPH (ACCELERATING FROM 0-30 MPH RANGE) MY ENGINE SPEED APPROACHES 6000 RPM BUT NEVER ENTERS THE RED AREA BEHIND THE GAUGE, I OFTEN NEED TO ACCELERATE FROM THE 0-30 MPH RANGE TO 45-65 MPH RANGE TO JUMP ONTO A HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY AND MY ENGINE SPEEDS GET MUCH HIGHER THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. I SUSPECT THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING MECHANISM IS BROKEN OR IS MADE POORLY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO A GENUINE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM RUN A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC, EVEN A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY TRANSMISSION WITH EVERYTHING COMING BACK FINE. I HONESTLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT I HAVE DOCUMENTS VERIFYING THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE BUT NO DIAGNOSIS, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD THAT MY FLUID WAS GOOD FOR ANOTHER YEAR, THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT STILL BE "LEARNING' MY DRIVING STYLE, AND MY VEHICLE HAS A BRAKE 'PRIMING' SYSTEM THAT HELPS STOP YOUR VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.
