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.

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

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE NEW MEXICO. WE WERE DRIVING, NO PROBLEMS AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT SAID STOP THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. ENDED UP HAVING THE VEHICLE TRANSPORTED BACK HOME TO TEXAS AND WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY HAD JUST RAN OUT. WE MISSED IT BY 3,000 MILES. ENDED UP SPENDING OVER $6,000.00 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT IS STILL NOT RUNNING RIGHT. I THOUGHT I HAD RESEARCHED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE BEFORE PURCHASING IT, APPARENTLY NOT. NOW I'M SCARED TO TAKE IT ON ROAD TRIPS. ONLY DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK.
