2004 Mitsubishi Outlander

I HAVE A 2004 OUTLANDER AN I HAVE MANY THING WRONG LIKE THE HEATER KNOB BROKE OFF THE BACK WINDOWS FELL BUT MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AN ILL LOSE THE THROTTLE. IN TRAFFIC THIS IS PRETTY SCARY. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR IS TIP TOP. 80,000 MILES NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS TILL THIS, I'VE DONE THE GAS CLICKING THING TO THE GAS CAP. ALL THE FLUIDS ARE FULL AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET POWER BACK IS BY TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AN ON 5 TIMES TO REST THE COMPUTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO SEVERAL SIGNS. THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE AGENCY ASSUMED FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. ONE YEAR LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE THROTTLE CABLE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I FELT A SLIGHT DISTURBANCE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THEN A MINUTE LATER THE TRANNIE SLIPPED I PULLED OVER AND THE FLUID WAS POURING OUT OF. AUTHORIZED DEALER SAID IT WAS THE TRANS OIL COOLER. NO EVIDENCE OF HOW THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET FOR IT AND I STILL HAVE MY POWERTRAIN WTY. *TR

I HAVE ALWAYS CHANGED MY OIL WELL WITHIN THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE; I NOTICED AN ENGINE TICKING NOISE AROUND 15K MILES, AND SIGNS OF OVERHEATING (LOW LEVEL IN THE COOLANT OVERFLOW CONTAINER). DEALER CHECKED, FOUND NO PROBLEMS. DRIVING TO WORK ON 9/13/07, ENGINE TICKING NOISE GOT 10 TIMES LOUDER. A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP SAID IT SHOULD BE TOWED TO DEALER, WHICH IT WAS. DEALER SAID TIMING BELT SLIPPED; WHEN REPLACED THE BELT, LOUD NOISE STILL EXISTED. REMOVED ENGINE COVER, INSPECTION SHOWED VALVE DAMAGE. TECHNICIAN INSPECTED FURTHER, SHOWS OIL BURNED ONTO ENGINE PARTS. MISTUBISHI DENYING REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, ALTHOUGH ALL MAINTENANCE RECORDS MEET REQUIRED STANDARD AND CAR ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES. NEVER HAD ANY WARNING LIGHTS FOR OVERHEATING OR LOW OIL. MITSUBISHI SAYS WRONG OIL FILTER USED BY VALVOLINE INSTANT OIL CHANGE SITE. I REMOVED THE OIL FILTER, SENT FOR TESTING. AWAITING RESULTS. ENGINE NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO DAMAGE, AND MITSU IS DENYING TO COVER THE REPAIRS. FILED COMPLAINT WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN PROCESS. THREE WEEKS WITHOUT A VEHICLE NOW, GOING ON 4. *JB

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH 2004 MISTSUBISH OUTLANDER. ALL FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, EXCEPT LATEST PROBLEM. CAR WON'T RUN. HAD TO TOW TO DEALERSHIP. CAR SHAKES AND ENGINE CUTS COMPLETELY OUT. DEALERSHIP NOT COOPERATING, FIXED THE WRONG THING, ENGINE STILL CUTS OUT/STALLS, NOW SAYING I "OVERFILLED THE GAS TANK, RUINING THE CHARCOAL FUEL CANISTER." THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY?! THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER REASON THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE NEVER OVERFILLED OR TOPPED OFF MY GAS. I THINK THEY MESSED IT UP, OR PERHAPS THE GAUGES ARE WRONG. IF THE GAUGES ARE WRONG, IT'S A FACTORY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!!! *JB
