I was driving home from work when the car started to violently shudder. I took my foot off the accelerator and it stopped, only to happen again when I resumed pressing the gas. This also causes the car to suddenly slow down somewhat dramatically. The tachometer also "bounces". I purchased this vehicle used and drove it for 6 or 7 months with no issues before this happened. I took I to a local mechanic who immediately identified it as the transmission. A check engine light came on and intermittently goes out and back on. This happened after the shuddering started. The problem is easily repeated just by simply driving the car. It has not been inspected by anyone other than the mechanic I took it to.

While traveling on the highway, as I accelerated, my vehicle began to shutter as if it was about to stall. Then the D on the display panel began flashing and a message concerning the transmission was displayed. As I increased my speed the more the car shuttered. I researched and found that this has been an issue with this make and model of this vehicle. After calling a Mitsubishi dealership, I was informed that my vehicle has had this problem fixed. They require a couple hundred dollars to look at it but it sounds like they have already made up their mind that it is not under recall.

This vehicle is dangerous and going to kill someone. I owned it 4 months and had to have it taken to 3 different dealerships 7 times in 6 weeks because it would die without warning while driving. It left me stranded in 2 different states and I was told every time nothing could be found as to why this would happen. However, there were several codes that came up that lead me and my mechanic to believe the transmission was failing. The dealerships did not want to fix it under my warranty so they told me nothing was wrong. I believe they also did this so that when I inevitably got them to take it back, they would have no paper trail of horrific problems to have to disclose when reselling it. I had to fight to get a new car and I was told this car would be sold wholesale and the issues would be disclosed. They were not. The dealer who bought it had no idea. Upon reaching out to them, they have made the decision to return it to the wholesale company they got it from. If nothing can be done from the NHTSA side, I will continue to track the vin and tell everyone what has occurred until that car is disposed of. Please, I implore you to get ahold of this car and scrap it completely. Someone will die if this car continues being sold as nothing was fixed and nothing was disclosed about the issues with it. Get this car off the streets. It is not safe to drive.

The transmission is not working properly. It has a hesitation and causes car to lunge forward.

My wife and I were at the beach when the truck started jerking really bad. I knew from the motion that transmission was locking up. We stayed 2 nights until we tried to make it home and it would slip in and out of gear. Transmission Maintenance light came on and once we made a complete stop. It acted as it didn-??t want to move then would take off like a rocket. I-??ve seen several models have recall on this issue but not my VIN which I find very strange.

I think the problem it-??s on the transmission as the car is presenting hesitation and shuddering when accelerating, also it-??s presenting rev fluctuations when driving at a constant speed, fortunately my safety and the safety of others is good until now. Yes the problem has being confirmed, no the vehicle has not being inspected by by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, there wasn-??t any indication or warnings prior to the failure.

I bought the vehicle in November 2022 with 88000 Miles. I started to feel a noise that seemed to be the transmission about 4 days later, a tap when doing the 2nd gear and then it felt irregular the following gears. Stopping and going felt like he was forcing himself to make 2nd gear. Due to this problem, it takes a long time to cross an intersection which could cause an accident. I took it to a mechanical workshop where they put the scanner on it and it showed several errors, when the Mechanic tested the vehicle it was when the Engine indicator light came on,

While driving on the highway the vehicle started jumping RPM and jerking violently. The RPM would rise and then dramatically fall with a clunking sound coming from CVT transmission. Problem persisted at slower speed with slightly less severity. After tech review, it was determined CVT belt was slipping and transmission prematurely failed at 42k miles. Being the second owner, vehicle is out of warranty and I was quoted $8k for a new CVT.

- Martinsburg, WV, USA

Failure to accelerate and causing safety issues at 59000 miles. Would be under warranty, but not covered since I am 2nd owner. This same issue recalled in other 2016 Mitsubishi Outlanders but this vin not showing up, but is same issue and mechanics all know it's faulty CVT and they want $9000 to repair but know it's faulty..I need help.

- Romeoville, IL, USA

I have a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport that was purchased in 2020 with 42 thousand miles on it. While I was on the highway I started experiencing acceleration hesitation and my car gave a message saying transmission service needed. I took my car to several mechanics that said my transmission is slipping and getting ready to die. They mentioned CVT issue. I contacted Mitsubishi but they told me according to my VIN my car is not under a recall. However, my mechanics informed me along with several reports that 2015-2016 outlander sports and certain model Lancers were recalled due to acceleration hesitation. When I asked what that meant in plain English I was told my transmission is bad and that-??s what causes acceleration hesitation. Then Mitsubishi told me that my car would have to have been manufactured within a certain year in order for the recall to be valid for my vehicle. I was never informed of a recall and didn-??t know something was wrong until I was in the middle of the highway with my son in the car. We could have been killed. The transmission in these vehicles are no good and I don-??t care about a VIN my vehicle is the year make and model that was recalled. A manufacturing issue is not my issue. I want my vehicle properly repaired. It-??s practically new. I have also reached out to my attorney.
