2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport complaints

09/02/2016... TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM SERVICE FOR A RECALL ABOUT THE OUTLANDER HESITATING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THE DEALER AFTER THE SERVICE, DID THAT FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID I HOPE SO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT WHEN I NEED MY CAR TO GO......IT WILL GO!!

OUTLANDER SPORT 2015, PURCHASED IN FEB. 2016. STARTED CAR, PUT IN REVERSE, CAR STOPPED DEAD. LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STATED "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED", SYMBOL OF A RED SUV WITH A RED X ON IT, & GREEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOWED TO LANCASTER MITSUBISHI, THEY STATED NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD TO PUSH VEHICLE INTO GARAGE. IT WORKS NOW. FOR HOW LONG?? HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHAT IS WRONG OR WHY IT HAPPENED. VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. TOW TRUCK DRIVER TRIED TO JUMP IT, DID NOT WORK

WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING, I NOTICE A HESITATION, SOMETIMES TO SLOW AND SOMETIMES A BURST OF SPEED. THIS IS USUALLY STARTING OUT OR TRYING TO SLOW OR STOP. I ALSO AT THE SAME TIME NOTICE SOMETIMES MAYBE HITTING BRAKES LEADS TO THIS. NOT SURE IF POWER TRAIN OR ELECTRICAL BUT VERY CONCERNED. ALSO, I HAD A FRIEND THAT HAD A 2015 OUTLANDER AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EXECUTE AT 50 MPH ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY HIGH CONCERN. I CHECKED VIN BUT DID NOT SEE ANYTHING.

MY STEPDAUGHTER DROVE TO WORK MONDAY (8/9/16) AND COULD NOT REMOVE HER KEY, SWITCH ONLY WENT BACK TO ACC POSITION. I ARRIVED AND LOOKED IT OVER, STARTED MOTOR, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THEN BACK TO PARK, CUT OFF SWITCH AND TURNED ALL WAY TO OFF POSITION THIS TIME. SOUNDS LIKE ISSUE WITH IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER. IT'S A 2015 WITH LESS THAN 10K MILES. SHE TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO BASICALLY ACCUSED HER OF SPILLING LIQUID DOWN INTO SHIFTER, HOWEVER ONCE THEY SAY CONDITION OF CAR KNEW THIS WASN'T CASE. TOLD HER THEY WILL REPAIR IT A WEEK FROM YESTERDAY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY 4 YEAR OLD BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTER RIDES IN THAT CAR (HER MOTHER'S) PRIMARILY. I'M GOING TO DEALERSHIP UPON OPENING IN MORNING BECAUSE WE NEED A LOANER CAR FOR MY STEPDAUGHTER TO USE UNTIL HER OUTLANDER IS FULLY EQUIPPED WITH THE SAFETY REPAIR. SHE HAD ONLY HAD CAR LITTLE OVER 3 MONTHS, IT'S LEAST THEY WILL DO. MY STEPDAUGHTER IS ALOT NICER THAN MYSELF. I'M NOT HAVING MY STEPDAUGHTER OR GRANDDAUGHTER IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. WILL BE DEMANDING AND RECEIVING LOANER CAR FOR HER IN THE MORNING.

MY CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING. MYCAR WILL JUMP FOR ONE SECOND OR SO, THEN TOTALLY FAILS TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WILL STAY QUEIT FOR COUPLE SECOND EVEN IF I STEP ON THE GAS AS HARD AS I CAN. THEN AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, MY RPM WIL JUMP TO AROUND 5000RPM WITHOUT ANY SIGN. THERE WERE SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS FOR ME IN THE PAST FEW MONTH. WHEN I JUST ENTERED A ROUNDABOUT, THE ISSUE OCCURED AND MY CAR WON'T ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REARENED BY OTHER CARS THAT WERE ALREADY IN THE ROUNDABOUT. I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO, AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE PROGRAMMING, AND I SHOULD BE ALL SET AFTER THEY UPDATED MY CAR'S SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE IN PAST COUPLE MONTHS. THE PROBLEMS HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEED (20MPH), AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR DRIVING INTO A ROUNDABOUT. THE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE PEOPLE ON THE CAR AND OTHER CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME. I AM HAVING IMMENSE PRESURE WHENEVER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR WHEN I TRY TO TURN INTO A ROAD OR ROUNDABOUT. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO TAKE ACTIONS AND ASK THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM!

WHILE DRIVING DURING ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN THE VECHILE LOSES POWER AND HESITATES LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OR TAKES FEW MINUTES FOR RPM TO KICK IN SO WE CAN GET LITTLE SPEED AND MOVE CAR.. THIS HAPPENS INTEMITTENT AND IS NW BACK AT THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME BUT ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THERE IS NO CODE SO THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING. VERY CONCERN THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT AND DRIVE TILL HAPPENS AGAIN I DONT WANT IT BACK TO CORRECTED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR A 2015 WITH ONLY 14000 MILES!

IT HESITATES ON TAKE OFF , DRIVERS WINDOW IS STUTTERING. HAD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FLASH ON AND OFF , TIME OF DAY CHANGES TO DAYLIGHT SAVING BY ITSELF , PULLS TO THE RIGHT UPON BRAKING. ACCELERATION IS AWFUL . JERKS WHILE CHANGING GEARS. MOST OF THIS IS AT STOPPING,OR TAKING OFF FROM STOP . CITY DRIVING . ON COLD MORNINGS IT ALSO RIDES HARD ON WHEELS AND HIGHWAY IS HESITANT. TRY'S TO STALL. AT 70 MILES A HOUR. DOES NOT HEAT CAR ADEQUATELY. THIS AT 20 DEGREES.

WHILE DRIVING DURING ACCELERATION AFTER I HAVE STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND JERKS AND JUMPS BEFORE I CAN ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE TEST DRIVING IT AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHILE TRYING TO GO THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AGO WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES ON IT.

I HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS VEHICLE HESITATION, I WILL BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. I'VE ALSO BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE HAD IT REV UP AND JUMP FORWARD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP PROBABLY ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND I MUST BE IMAGINING IT. SERIOUSLY WITH ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING I'M NOT IMAGINING IT. THIS IS A 2015 SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

WHEN TRYING TO PULL AWAY FROM STOP VEHICLE JUST STOPS ENGINE STILL RUNNING IT JUST WONT GO. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE COMPUTER FLASH SEEMED TO HELP BUT THEN STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS CAN EASILY BE REARENDED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING OR STRAIGHT BUT ALWAYS AFTER STOPPING THEN PULLING AWAY FROM STOP. BOUGHT VEHICLE WITH JUST OVER 2000 MILES WE SUSPECT THE PRIOR OWNER HAD SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT HESITATES AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I'D HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS AGAIN TO GO. A SLIGHT JERK FEEL. I BOUGHT IT IN JUNE 2015 BRAND NEW AND IT'S DONE THIS SINCE AUGUST. I MOSTLY DRIVE HIGHWAY SO TO FEEL THIS WHEN YA COMING INTO A TOWN HAS ME CONCERNED. THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT SCARES ME SOMETIMES. I WAS TOLD MY CAR MIGHT NEED TO BE REALIGNED BUT ALL THESE CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE? PLEASE CHECK ON THIS!

ON 3/2/2016 I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON I-71 IN COLUMBUS OHIO. THE CAR AHEAD OF ME MOVED UP SO I PROCEEDED TO MOVE UP AS WELL. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, GENTLY PRESSED THE ACCELLERATOR AND THE CAR INITIALLY BEGAN TO MOVE, THEN LOST POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS THEN REENGAGED WITH A JERK. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED FROM THE CAR BEHIND BE BECAUSE THEY HAD NO WARNING THAT MY CAR WAS GOING TO ESSENTIALLY STOP MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS THE 2'ND REPORT THAT I HAVE MADE ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAD ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON IT AND THIS TIME IT HAD ABOUT 8,700. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLETE A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROGRAM AND THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT CLEARLY IT DIDN'T. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO LET THEM LOOK AT IT AGAIN BUT I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IN ORDER FOR VEHICLES TO BE SAFE THEY MUST BE PREDICTABLE AND THIS CARS ACCELLERATION FROM A STOP IS NOT PREDICTABLE. THE FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE ISN'T THAT HIGH BUT IT ONLY TAKES 1 OCCURRENCE WHEN THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED TO POSSIBLY LOOSE YOUR LIFE. MY STATE HAS A LEMON LAW FOR NEW VEHICLES SO I PLAN TO INITIATE THE PROCESS, MY LIFE IS WORTH MORE TO ME THAN IT APPEARS TO BE WORTH TO MITSUBISHI.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AFTER STOPPING IT WOULD START TO GO THEN HESITATE AND STOP. WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC IT DID GO AFTER CONTINUALLY PRESSING DEPRESSING ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER STOPPING THEN ATTEMPTING TO GO AGAIN ENGINE IS RUNNING FINE PRIOR TO AND AFTER IT GOES AGAIN. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 3000 MILES ON IT.

I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING VEHICLE HESITATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A SLOW DOWN. I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH ABOUT 500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. IT NOW HAS 1,200 AND IS STILL DOING IT. FROM A COMPLETE STOP, IT WILL NOT ALWAYS GO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED AND WHEN IT DOES GO, IT JERKS LIKE IT JUST SHIFTED INTO GEAR. THAT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES JUST TODAY. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN RIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT AS SOON AS I TRIED TO SPEED UP, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD CARS BEHIND ME AND WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET REAR-ENDED. I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE ACCELERATOR STARTED WORKING AGAIN. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND, SO THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS. I WAS IN TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN RIGHT AWAY IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I CALLED TODAY TO TELL THEM IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THEY CAN'T GET ME IN FOR OVER A WEEK TO LOOK AT IT. BY THAT TIME IT PROBABLY WON'T BE HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT BUT IT'S MY ONLY VEHICLE. I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT ON IT YET. I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LEMON THAT NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

MY 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT HAS ALSO SEEMED TO HESITATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I'D HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS AGAIN TO GO. A SLIGHT JERK FEEL. I BOUGHT IT IN MARCH 2015 AND IT'S DONE THIS SINCE MAY WITH ONLY AROUND 5000 MILES. I MOSTLY DRIVE HIGHWAY SO TO FEEL THIS WHEN YA COMING INTO A TOWN HAS ME CONCERNED. BUT OF COURSE BY THEN THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THE DEALER SEES NOTHING WRONG BUT I'M SURE WITH ALL OF US POSTING THE SAME COMMON ISSUE, THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. GUESS I'M STUCK WITH THE WORRY UNTIL I CAN TRADE IT IN.

SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE ACCELERATION FAILED MOMENTARILY WERE FOLLOWED BY A RECALL. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE ISSUE WAS 'CORRECTED", ACCELERATION FAILED TO GENERATE A SPEED PAST 30 MPH FOR A FEW MOMENTS, THEN 25 MPH, AND I BARELY MANAGED TO GET BACK AT HOME AT NO MORE THAN 20 MPH. EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE GAS, IT CAUSED ACCELERATION TO DECREASE UNTIL I STOPPED AND COASTED AT 20.

ON 12/13/2015 I WAS AT A ONE WAY STOP INTERSECTION AND AS I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS MOMENTARILY AND THEN REENGAGED WITH A JERK. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THEN GRABBED OR REENGAGED. A FEW DAYS BEFORE THIS I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROGRAM REPLACED. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL SERVICE AND ALSO REPORTED THE NEAR MISS DUE TO THE LOSS OF DRIVING POWER. THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO REPRODUCE THE LOSS OF POWER OR IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. SO FAR THIS FAILURE HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. LOSS OF POWER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION TO ME IS OF SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE GIVEN HIGH PRIORITY BY ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE LOSS OF POWER AND IS NOW AT 4,000.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS I DID WITH HESITATION AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE ENGINE RPM AT HIGHER SPEEDS - I RECEIVED THIS LETTER ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 4TH - PLEASE TAKE YOUR VEHICLES INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND GET THEM FIXED- YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT - AND IT'S NOT THE INHIBITOR SWITCH.

I FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND NOT SURE HOW LONG THEY STAY ON THIS WEBSITE BUT I NO LONGER HAVE MY VEHICLE IT WAS "REPO" ON 11.11.15 AND WAS GOING TO AUCTION ON 11.26.15 - WHO EVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO KNOW IT IS A LEMON. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE IT. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

MY 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT 2.0 HAS 500 MILES ON IT AND IT HESITATES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING FROM INTERSECTIONS. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE PUT THE BREAKS ON BUT I THINK IT'S A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I ALMOST GOT HIT TWICE ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS. IT USUALLY DOES THIS WHEN MAKING A TURN.

MY SON HAD SCHEDULE A DRIVING TEST AND WAS FAILED BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING, I DID EXPLAIN TO THIS PERSON THAT THE CAR IS NEW. I TESTED MY SELF AND REALIZE THAT IT DOES NOT STOP THE CAR EVEN WHEN GOING ON 5 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND MAKE THE FORMAL COMPLAINT, THEY SEND THE CAR TO BE CHECK AND CAME TO ME STATEN THAT IT WAS WORKING PERFECT!! I REFUSE THEIR EXPLANATION AND FINALLY THEY SUBGESTED TO TEST OTHER VEHICLE SAME AS MINE TO WHAT I AGREE TO FIND OUT IF WORKS THE SAME OR NOT. TO MY SURPRISE IT DID THE SAME THINK... IT DIDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE AND YES SLOWLY REDUCE THE SPEED...NJ DMV REQUIRE FOR ANY VEHICLE TO BE USE TO TAKE THE TEST, FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY AND TO MY BELIEVE I DO AGREE WITH THEM... WHAT IS THE SENSE OF HAVING A EMERGENCY BRAKE IF IT DOES NOT STOP THE CAR??? PLEASE , EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE A LIFE OR DEAD SITUATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. I DO HAVE THE RECEIVE THE DEALER GAVE ME WHEN CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. I CAN FAX TO YOU IF NEED IT.

HEADLIGHTS ONLY SHINE ABOUT 50 FEET AHEAD. DOESN'T GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO REACT TO SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. HAVE ALMOST HIT A NUMBER OF DEER ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. HAVE TAKEN CAR BACK TO DEALER. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT FOR HEADLIGHTS.

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING ON MY WIFE'S BRAND NEW 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. CAR HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ORDERED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION TO INSTALL. VERY STRANGE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO OUT THIS SOON. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE NEW OUTLANDERS.

VEHICLE HESITATES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH INTERSECTION , ENTERING ON HIGHWAY ECT...CAUSING RISK OF COLLISION

MY FATHER PURCHASED HIS 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT IN APRIL 2015 WITH A TOTAL OF 3 MILES ON IT. STARTING APPROX THE END OF JULY/BEGINNING OF AUGUST, THE VEHICLE WOULD "STUTTER" AND SHAKE UPON ACCELERATION. HE PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE WHERE THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS A LOOSE TRANSMISSION CABLE AND FIXED IT. APPROX 1 WEEK AFTER BEING FIXED, IT BEGAN TO STUTTER AND SHAKE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME SOUNDED LIKE LOUD BANGS AND LIKE THE CV JOINT WAS COMING APART. HE TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION CABLE FIX WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THAT IT WAS FIXED "CORRECTLY THIS TIME". OVER THE LAST WEEK, THE CAR IS ACTING UP AGAIN - AND IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. HE HAS TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. THEY LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT AND DAD FINALLY PICKED IT UP WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING DONE TO IT. HE WAS EVEN IN CONTACT WITH THE MITSUBISHI MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHUDDERING ON AN ALMOST CONSTANT BASIS WITH NO EXPLANATION OR HELP FROM THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER AND HE HAS ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT SE ON THIS PAST FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 2015. ON THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY I NOTICED IT WAS JERKING BUT AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T PINPOINT WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THEN 100 MILES ON IT. TODAY, AUGUST 19, 2015 I FIGURED OUT IT IS HAPPENING ANY TIME I AM TRAVELING AT 15-20 MPH. I ALERTED MY SALESMEN AND TOLD HIM I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. HE TOLD ME HE WAS TOLD THAT IT HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS BECAUSE THE CVT CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO BE IN. HE SAID IF I SPEED UP IT WILL STOP. WELL,THE ROAD OUTSIDE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS A SCHOOL ZONE. I CAN'T JUST SPEED UP! SO, IF HE IS RIGHT, EVERY MORNING I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO JERKING A STUDDERING MY WAY DOWN THE STREET. IT'S AWFUL! IT'S LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING A 5 SPEED AND FORGET TO HIT THE CLUTCH AND CHANGE GEARS. THAT JERKING AND STUDDERING. HOW ON EARTH CAN THESE CARS BE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD LIKE THIS? I AM CONFIDENT THIS LITTLE BY PRODUCT OF THE CVT WILL SOON BE CAUSING ACCIDENTS.

I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR JUNE 6, 2015. I HAVE ONLY MADE 1 CAR PAYMENT AND ON 7/23/15 I GO TO GET IN MY CAR AND IT WILL NOT START HAD SEVERAL MESSAGES ON THE DASH SO LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAID CALL DEALERSHIP AND I DID. AFTER CALLING THEM 5 TIMES IN A ROW THE OWNER ANSWERED AND I EXPLAINED WHAT THE CAR WAS READING AND THAT IT WOULDN'T START SO HE SAID HIM AND A MECHANIC WOULD BE THERE IN A MINUTE. I ONLY WORK 5 MINS.AWAY. THEY ARRIVED AND SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THAT DISPLAYED BEFORE. MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND PLAYED WITH THE WIRING FOR ABOUT 20 MINS AND IT STARTED THEY SAID IF IT DOES IT AGAIN BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. BUT THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM TO CHECK IT OUT AND GO AHEAD AND DO MY 1000 MILES SERVICE CHECK SINCE I WAS AT 982 MILES. NO PROBLEM WE WILL HAVE IT READY LATER TODAY, NEVER HEARD FROM THEM SO THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MY HUSBAND CALLED AND THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY WERE TRYING TO GET ME A NEW ONE PUT IN BUT WAITING ON APPROVAL, THEY GOT THE APPROVAL AND PUT IN A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION SO THEY SAID. AUG. 5, 2015 STILL HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING SO MY HUSBAND CALLED AGAIN AND IT WAS READY SO HE WENT AND PICKED UP MY CAR. IT HAD 1100 MILES ON IT AND 1/2 TANK OF GAS SO THEY HAD PUT 117 MILES ON MY CAR. 8/6/15 IT STARTED DRIVING KIND OF ROUGH, NOT WANTING TO EXHILARATE AND MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE FROM TIME TO TIME. SO ON 8/11/15 I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK UP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM

THE CAR STUTTERS AND JERKS TO ACCELERATE WHEN GAS IS PRESSED FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE ISSUE. HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO STOP IN. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, IN FACT, I BELIEVE ONE REVIEW FROM MOTOR TREND WITNESSED A SIMILAR ISSUE "ADDITIONALLY, THE CVT WOULD STUTTER OR HESITATE WHEN GENTLY MODULATING THE GAS PEDAL WHEN HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC REQUIRED CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT, A CHARACTERISTIC NOT NOTED DURING OUR TENURE IN THE 2011 MODEL ON THE SAME ROAD TRIP OR AT ANY OTHER TIMES." HTTP://WWW.MOTORTREND.COM/CARS/2015/MITSUBISHI/OUTLANDER_SPORT/ I'M GOING TO CALL THE OTHER DEALER NEAR ME AND ASK.

TO MAKE A VERY LONG STORY SHORT I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND PRESSED THE GAS TO GO AND MY CAR WENT FORWARD THEN IT JUST STOPPED IT SEEMED LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH GAS - I PRESSED THE GAS PEDDLE FRANTICALLY BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST GOT HIT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN MARCH - I FINALLY GOT THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE MY CAR FOR A FEW DAYS THEY PUT A RECORDING DEVICE IN IT AND DROVE IT - THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER 30 DAYS AND IT FINALLY DID THE SAME THING TO THE MECHANIC THAT WAS DRIVING IT - THEY TOOK THE RECORDING INFORMATION AND SENT IT TO THE ENGINEERS AT THE MANUFACTURE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE INHIBITOR SWITCH - THEY REPLACED IT ON 4.21.15 AND ON 4.26.15 MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN - THIS TIME THE CAR THAT ALMOST HIT ME PULLED OVER I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY CAR - I GOT HIS NAME AND # JUST IN CASE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE - THEY CALLED ME AND GAVE ME THE PHONE NUMBER TO A LEMON LAW LAWYER WHO NOW IS HANDLING MY CASE. MY BRAND NEW CAR STILL ISN'T FIXED - I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS ANOTHER 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT IN FLORIDA DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE MANUFACTURE'S WEBSITE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE OR IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON MY NEW CAR AND FOUND NOTHING. I'M SO GLAD I CAME TO THIS WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST 2 NEW 2015 OUTLANDER SPORTS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I TALKED TO AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAS BEEN A MECH

TWO TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENGINE HESITATION IN THE 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT. FIRST TIME WAS STARTING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE MOTOR WOULD NOT MOVE THE CAR THEN IT JERKED INTO GEAR, THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS MAKING A SLOW TURN TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE MOTOR DID THE SAME THING. I HAVE READ OTHERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I PLAN ON TAKING IT IN TO GET IT CHECKED BUT I AM NOW CONCERNED SINCE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. IT RIDES GREAT ON ALL OTHER OCCASIONS SO I AM NOT SURE WHY IT DID IT..I THOUGHT MAYBE BAD GAS BUT IT IS NOT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM AN IDLE POSITION. WHEN THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION, IT HESITATED AND JERKED FORWARD. THE CONTACT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162.

PURCHASED VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING JERKING AND HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE WITH WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THEN SUDDENLY JERKS OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO TWO DIFFERENT MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIPS, INCLUDING THE ONE OF PURCHASE, AND THEY ARE FINDING NO CODES OR ISSUES WRONG. *TR

THE SUV SEEMS TO MISS OR HESITATE WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN. IT FEELS LIKE IT SPUTTERS OR STICKS AT TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING OR SLOWING DOWN. IT USUALLY RIDES SMOOTH WHEN DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, BUT SORT OF JERKS WHEN ACCELERATION CHANGES. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS BECAUSE I WANT TO BE SURE THE PROBLEM WON'T CREATE A DRIVING HAZARD. *TR
