AT 56K MILES THE TACHOMETER WOULD REV UP TO 5 WHILE MAINTAINING AN EVEN SPEED, THEN WHEN GOING UP HILLS THERE WAS NO POWER. VERY SUDDEN ISSUE NO WARNING, THEN WARNING LIGHT SERVICE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED CAME ON. VERY FRUSTRATED - MY FIRST MITSUBISHI AND I WANT IT GONE. I'VE SEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR BUT MY VIN SAYS THERE ARE NONE. *TR
MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I AM BEING TOLD IT HAS NO CURRENT OPEN RECALLS AND SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER I DO NOT HAVE A WARRANTY. I'M CURRENTLY HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ONLY 43,000 MILES FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES LISTED IN THE RECALL.*DT*JB

THIS 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT WAS BOUGHT FROM A DEALER AT 42,000 MILES, NOW IT HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WOULD DO JUMPS OR JERKS DURING LOW SPEED OR GETTING UP TO SPEED ABOUT 30-45MPH. THE RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHILE GOING 50-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE MITSUBISHI RECALL SR-16-006 STATED BACK IN 2016 FOR 2015-2016 OUTLANDER SPORT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MITSUBISHI DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, CODE 084A, FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE. THE DEALER WANTS $7,700 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. SADLY, A SECOND OWNER'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. THE CAR HAD THE CVT-ECU SOFTWARE UPDATED BACK IN 2016 THROUGH THE MITSUBISHI RECALL SR-16-006 WHEN IT WAS OWNED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY SHOULD HAVE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. THUS HERE WE ARE, THE OWNERS WITH CARS THAT HAVE THE OLD TRANSMISSIONS WITH THE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED! MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO MAKE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE TRAFFIC TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN THE CAR WANTS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE BY ITSELF CONSTANTLY! THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER SAFETY DEFECT, THE CAR BARELY HAS 69,000 MILES! WE ARE A MITSUBISHI FAMILY. WE HAVE A 2002 LANCER THAT IS CURRENTLY AT 200,000+ MILES WITHOUT ANY MAJOR REPAIR! WE ALSO HAVE A 2014 OUTLANDER SPORT THAT IS STILL RUNNING WELL AT 60,500+ MILES, AND WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST. IT IS VERY SAD TO BE IN THIS POSITION. THIS VIDEO SHOWS THE PROBLEM THE CAR IS HAVING: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/ABD9PHF5CEA?T=107 LOOK AT THE RECENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND THINK ABOUT HOW MANY OF THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE NHTSA INFORMATION: HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/VEHICLE/2015/MITSUBISHI/OUTLANDER%252520SPORT/SUV/FWD. *TR
TRANSMISIN SLIPS , CAR STUDDERS DURING ACCELERATION, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A STREET OR ENTERING HIGHWAYS. VERY HARD TO CONTROL STEERING, ENGINE MAKES A LOUD NOISE (AS IF YOU ACEELERATE AND THERE IS NO POWER, HIGH RPM NOISE)
