The engine shuts off while at idle for stop lights, stop signs, and on occasion brief stops such as reversing and turning. The battery has been replaced, the alternator has been checked, & the catalytic converter was checked no problems there. However the problem persists with no warning/engine/battery light on. This is a big problem when trying to safely operate the vehicle especially if others are expecting me to go and then the car shuts off

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

Vehicle started having rough idle at about 70,000 miles when air conditioner would be turned on. Rmp's would fluctuate between 500-1000. Now at about 90,000 miles vehicle has rough idle whether ac is on or not. Vehicle has stalled when changing gears, while waiting at a stop or when sitting in traffic. Today 3/24/21 vehicle stalled while entering an intersection which could have caused an accident. Vehicle also has a hesitation when trying to accelerate whether from a stop or from a coasting speed.vehicle was taken to dealership on October 2019 for cvt8-ECM reflash as per recall but it only solved the acceleration problem for a couple of months. There should be another recall on this vehicle as these problems can cause personal injury/accident.

- Selma, TX, USA

2015 Mitsubishi started sputterring while waiting for red light and hesitates when accelerating. Check engine came on. Looks like there are other similar complaints, but when I looked up the recall my vehicle is not included.

- San Antonio, TX, USA

Transmisin slips, car studders during acceleration, very dangerous when trying to cross a street or entering highways. Very hard to control steering, engine makes a loud noise (as if you aceelerate and there is no power, high RPM noise)

- Miami, FL, USA

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.

I own a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport with 110,000 miles on it. Other than the recalls I have had no issues. Frequent oil changes, brakes, basic maintenance nothing else. Minor acceleration issues as per the recall. I was driving home on the parkway at the speed limit of 65mph and heard a sudden knock, the car shuddered and died. Thankfully I reacted quickly and pulled over the minute I knew something was wrong. I got out and there was oil all over the road way. Being a novice mechanic I pretty much knew the engine was dead. Towed to healey brs Mitsubishi beacon NY and 4 days later they confirmed that there was a hole in the engine and it would need to be replaced. They had no explanation for the sudden failure but did confirm that it was sudden and not due to any lack of maintenance on my part. The car is 3 years old with sudden engine failure, on a dark highway on christmas eve. I am thankful that I was safe but still want an explanation. A friend of mine who used to work for Mitsubishi informed me there is a problem with the third piston on these engines but the mechanic in beacon would not confirm either way.

Intermittent rough idle and fluctuating RPM.. afraid vehicle will accelerate by its self may cause accident waiting at a stop sign or red light

- San Diego, CA, USA

At only 76,000 miles, my vehicle started to shudder when going anywhere from 10 mph-40 mph. This started when I was on a city street but continued on the highway. There is a lag in acceleration when going from neutral to drive. My transmission service light and check engine light went on so, I took the car in to a Mitsubishi dealership and they notified me that after the diagnostic test and test driving it, they simply had to reset the sensor. After leaving the dealership, the transmission service light went on and my car was still shuddering when trying to accelerate. After getting a transmission service, which is what I was advised to do by the Mitsubishi mechanics, the problem still persisted. I bought this car used from the dealership with only 40,000 miles. At 76,000 there should not be any major transmission or engine issues. I am now unable to drive my car in fear that I will end up in a car accident.

During initial acceleration from a standstill, or when accelerating again after either constant speed operation or coasting the transmission will delay in the vehicle accelerating. While at 60-65 mph the vehicle will fluctuate in RPM and try to accelerate on its own. The service transmission light came on and the check engine light has been going off and on since the vehicle was purchased in October 2017. When bringing it in for service dealer says there is nothing wrong. I went to autozone when the check engine light went on and it is stating the catalytic converter bank 1 has issues. So when I parked it this morning 4-24-18 because of the light going one for the transmission, I tried starting it and it started but hesitated and then all the check engine lights went off. I believe there is something up with the ECU too. I know there are recalls for 2015 Outlander sports but why not mine when I am having the same issues. Thank you

Ongoing problems with this vehicle. Bought new 9/2015. Treated appallingly at pos. Unreliable instrument panel kept showing a P0017 code at 15K, would not clear. Took to dealer for $450 29K service, check engine light stayed on after this for long period of time then off. Car "passed" all checks at different dealer but they said "timing chain" looked loose in 4/2017 they said we could replace the chain, cam and crank shaft and sensors at our expense for 4K on a new car. They blamed us for "improper maintenance" due to dirty oil. They cancelled warranty on entire vehicle. Cose would go off, then on periodically, 0017 again. Car drove fine until recently, car then stalled while in motion through intersection in rush hour, seized up 42K miles. Dealer refused tow as dealership more than 21 miles dishonored roadside service. Our aaa took to mechanic near home who does Japanese cars, timing chain broke dx $150. Dealer refused to honor warranty. Charged to rediagnose, had to tow back to dealer $150 diagnosis again, timing chain broke, entire engine needs replacing. Car died in intersection, was almost killed. Denied warranty coverage. 7 recalls on this vehicle so far, one is stalling like we said!!!! dangerous car, do not buy! please recall engine is bad, dealer asking 10K to replace! seattle Mitsubishi pierre. Car burned oil quick it seems, even synthetic. This is a pattern, must recall entire engine on these vehicles, people will die.

My 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport developed transmission problem and warning light came on including engine service light. It only has 34173 miles on it. I researched that it had a recall for a defective transmission hose assembly but Mitsubishi no longer lists the recall. I would like to see that my vehicle gets repaired as the manufacturing date of the vehicle falls in the time when this issue was not detected during assembly.

- Prior Lake, MN, USA

I received a letter explaining there is a deficiency which can shut down my motor while in use, and to visit a dealer to have it fixed. Spoke with reps by phone and was told it must be done at a dealer - no exceptions. I am medically restricted in my activities, I advised them. No exceptions. Closest dealer to my home (edwards, ms) is in alexandria, Louisiana, I'm sorry to say I learned, and I requested they provide a closer repair place, like clinton or vicksburg, ms, but they declined. I asked them how long it would take and they didn't know for sure. Overnight accommodations" at my expense. What if it broke down on the way and I was able to avoid being obliterated?? why, they would dispatch a tow. What about me? I would be on my own to get to the dealer to pick up the car. Maybe your Agency has no answer for me, but this seems outrageous treatment of an unsuspecting customer. Why could they not arrange for another auto dealership closer to me to do the work" and I notice there have been 5 recalls on the car. Nobody informed me. Shoddy.

1. in February 2017, the vehicle started to display a persistent yet intermittent P0017 code. 2. despite two separate repair attempts on March 9, 2017 and March 15, 2017, younker Mitsubishi was unable to eliminate the P0017 code. 3. from April 18, 2017 to April 27, 2017, a period of nine (9) days, the vehicle was inspected by pierre Mitsubishi in an attempt to eliminate the P0017 code. 4. both pierre Mitsubishi's service department and Mitsubishi's own tech line recommended warranty repair to correct the problem. 5. on Friday, April 21, 2017, pierre Mitsubishi's service manager dennis paulson promised by telephone that Mitsubishi had agreed to pay for the warranty repair, and accordingly parts were special ordered by the dealer for such repair. 6. despite the inspection results and oral promises, Mr. Paulson indicated on Wednesday, April 26, 2017 that Mitsubishi was no longer willing to cover the warranty repair. 7. based on Mitsubishi's refusal to perform warranty service, a prima facie case of breach of warranty under the federal magnuson-moss warranty act has been established. 8. based on Mitsubishi's documented history of covering up serious vehicle safety issues, there is an imminent danger that the vehicle could fail and expose the user to property damage, injury or worse.
