Outlander

  • 124,000 miles
The 2017 has the same cvt transmission as the recalled 2015 and 2016 models. I have owned the car for 4 years and its now hesitating on acceleration - a classic sign of cvt failure. Mitsubishi mechanic advises me to pay 8 thousand dollars to replace this as its out of warranty (124K miles) I contend that this should be recalled as the prior years models are.

Outlander 4-cyl

  • 77,000 miles
When accelerating from a stop or from a slower entrance speed to a highway and after getting up to speed the engine will continue to rev at higher RPM until I am off the throttle completely. Then after reapplying the transmission seems to shift down. No matter how light or steady the throttle, even barely touching throttle at all, it seems to stay in "passing gear". this has the cvt tranmission and it has never done this until the last servicing of fluid change in the diffs/tranny. Currently have 77K miles. Last service was at 2K. I plan to take it to dealer for next oil change and have it looked

I bought my wife a new 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander sport ES for our anniversary on 1/24/2017. The doesn't even have 5K mls on it. Recently on 9/5/17 the car started to act weird. From a stop to go the car would not drive normal. It has a slow get up to catch speed. It drives like 10mph for a wile and then sometimes goes back to normal. She has to turn the ignition from on to off so the car kind of goes back to driving normally again.
