2015 Mitsubishi Outlander POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

While driving in the city limits around 35 miles an hour I had to stop abruptly to avoid a collision with a driver who didn’t stop at the intersection. I had to come to a complete stop for this driver. When I took my foot off of the brake and tried to drive on my car would not move. I had to shift gears put it in park and try again. I could hear the engine responding but the car wouldn’t move. When it did start to move forward slowly it was shaking very hard and I was only able to get 10 miles an hour. I had to be towed. And I kept thinking what if I was on the highway that day where the speed limit is 75mph.

I was driving on the highway on a trip and out of no where my car shuttered and then flashed service transmission soon, I pulled over and my car would no longer drive, reverse or go into neutral. The tow company reset my battery to try to reset my car system. After that my car wouldn’t really go past 60. I followed the tow truck to the nearest town and it stalled again at the light and I could no longer go at all, my car locked up and wouldn’t reset at that point. It’s an $1100 tow back home. The CVT transmission really needs to be rechecked and recalled. I’ve found too many issues and the same complaints but can’t find a recall on it at all.

The contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The contact state that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated and then stalled. The contact stated that while accelerating, the vehicle lunged forward then inadvertently increased in speed. The contact was able to stop the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that while shifted in reverse(R), the vehicle rolled forward and failed to reverse. The contact stated that the vehicle randomly shuddered. The transmission service required warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that VIN was previously repaired under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V563000 (Power Train). The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Purchased my used vehicle at my local dealer, in which,they just received into inventory and had not been reconditioned at all ,prepping for Resale,but this vehicle was still offered to me in a nonformal fashion; since my low credit,low deposit,and prior repos that It be best if I choose that one. the vehicle has displayed symptoms of shuddering since day one. Test drive was uneventful since we remained low speed.however, Immediately and if ever drive 55-75mph there would have shuddering and erratic rpm readings but would settle once slowed and time passed.the dealer was informed the next day of this + of all oil change,car wash,detail, inspection,etc. That were also offered as apart of the deal as well and they ONLY picked up the vehicle once ,second day after financing vehicle,BUT they Only installed a "GPS" device within the vehicle and ignored and downplayed all my requests and Accounts of the details of the matter ENTIRELY. 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 backwards every time.sometimes yes ,and some not so much. Had to be towed home and seemed to drive About half of a block distance only as have had been completely cool,as opposed to warm or hot and attempting to move forward. Shows all the symptoms of safety campaign SR-16-006. Local repair shop was uncertain diagnosing ,but Tried a complete transmission fluid exchange, Which was a fail. As far as recalls dealership,too costly at the moment for tow to/from+inspection,since the recall shows error

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, LOSS MOTIVE POWER, AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE UNINTENDEDLY ACCELERATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE TOWARDS THE END OF OCTOBER WITH LESS THAN 40000 MILES AND I KEEP ENCOUNTERING AN ACCELERATION ISSUE AND HIGH ENGINE RPM, THE ISSUES PERIODICALLY 'RESOLVE' THEM SELF ONLY TO COME BACK A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, THE ISSUES I ENCOUNTER AREN'T EXACTLY THE SAME BUT I THINK THEY ARE VERY CLOSELY RELATED/CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER; ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED (0-30): I TEND TO NOTICE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AROUND 0-30 MPH WHERE I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND IS ACCELERATING, ACCELERATION IS VERY, VERY SLOW AND IT FEELS AS THOUGH SOMETHING IN/ON MY VEHICLE IS GIVING WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS 'RESISTANCE' TO ACCELERATE, THE FEELING IS VERY WEIRD AND I HAVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT AND I LACK THE VOCABULARY TO TRULY EXPLAIN WHAT THE ISSUE FEELS LIKE BUT I DO KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS DURING 0-~60 MPH ACCELERATION: WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC GOING 45-65 MPH (ACCELERATING FROM 0-30 MPH RANGE) MY ENGINE SPEED APPROACHES 6000 RPM BUT NEVER ENTERS THE RED AREA BEHIND THE GAUGE, I OFTEN NEED TO ACCELERATE FROM THE 0-30 MPH RANGE TO 45-65 MPH RANGE TO JUMP ONTO A HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY AND MY ENGINE SPEEDS GET MUCH HIGHER THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. I SUSPECT THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING MECHANISM IS BROKEN OR IS MADE POORLY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO A GENUINE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM RUN A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC, EVEN A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY TRANSMISSION WITH EVERYTHING COMING BACK FINE. I HONESTLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT I HAVE DOCUMENTS VERIFYING THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE BUT NO DIAGNOSIS, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD THAT MY FLUID WAS GOOD FOR ANOTHER YEAR, THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT STILL BE "LEARNING' MY DRIVING STYLE, AND MY VEHICLE HAS A BRAKE 'PRIMING' SYSTEM THAT HELPS STOP YOUR VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

THIS HAPPENS ALMOST ALL THE TIME - WHEN DRIVING AT CITY STREET SPEED OF 25 MPH AND UNDER MY CAR SHAKES SO MUCH AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. ON 3 OCCASIONS I WAS REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS AND ONE TIME WAS WITH A HUGE SANITATION TRUCK WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE MITSUBISHI DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT AND HELP TO NO AVAIL IT STILL DOES IT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MITSUBISHI MOTORS AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER BUT TO DATE NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME NOR HELPED ME. I AM SCARED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF - IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO. HELP ME BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE DOES.
