The problem persisted and the dealer personnel gave me the run around and errors electronically that pushed this matter past warranty dateline and they informed me they were not obligated to any action. 2.5 - 3 years have passed living with these unresolved issues gotten used to it until Last month on the freeway the "service transmission" light illuminated it shuddered uncontrollably to a sudden stop where it was very difficult to steer to safe location,but Once I stopped the vehicle would always start up but not would it accelerate forward or backwa

No lights on. The vehicle is hesitage when driving.
Check engine illumination: code is showing that the Transmission Control Module has an error. When stopped the cars acceleration lags and causes stalls and delayed acceleration.
After being reprogrammed at the dealer my 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport started to exhibit a shudder, surge condition. Finally on March 2021 while driving on a highway the CVT started to slip and the vehicle started to exhibit a lack of acceleration untill it came to a stop in the middle lane almost causing an accident. The vehicle was scanned and codes P084A, P0776 and P0843 were present. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on a tow truck and scanned again and the same codes were present. Now the dealer is telling me that I need a new CVT transmission and that warranty was denied by Mitsubishi. It is to their knowledge that these CVT transmissions are defective and they are trying to fix them with a simple CVT ECU reprogramming and oil change as per the TSB-20-23-001, also charging the owner for the oil change. It is about time that the US Government make Mitsubishi Motors issue a mandatory recall since this is a dangerous condition that can cause a major accident on US highways. It is also time for a Class Action Suit against Mitsubishi Motors for selling a defective product and refusing to repair the vehicles.

Also whenever I ride down the road and hit the minute bump my steering jerk really bad and it happens on both sides causing me to jerk steering wheel almost run off the road several times.
My transmission doesn't go into gear right away and doesn't drive right in automatic. If I switch it to manual and only go up to 5th gear it shifts fine.

NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED HOW COME MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL THAT MITSUBISHI DID FOR 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT BACK IN APRIL OF 2020, SINCE THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS PER THE TSB-20-23-001 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT, IT GOES ONLY BY THE VIN #, AND MY CAR IS NOT LISTED.

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.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
