Outlander 4-cyl

  • miles
1. Speed control: Our family outlander has had some issues following our purchase, and I was assured that the hesitation when depressing the accelerator was just a product of the CVT transmission. It-€™s something we have just learned to deal with given the information we were provided with. It has put us in a bad position with countless near misses over the years when needing to merge, and the annoying stall that happens when accelerating after a stop sign or red light. We have just moved from the Midwest to Phoenix(car only has 30k miles), and the hesitation and stalling is worse than ever. Even with a 3/4 depress on the accelerator, the notion of movement correlating with the amount of gas given is an eon apart. I must also mention that there are times that the car releases like a race car as well, but with minimal pressure on the accelerator. It seems like it-€™s an obvious programming issue or maybe just a few bad relays. I-€™m hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel for this one. 2. Suspension: Our vehicle has sounded like it has had major issues since the beginning, but was told it was normal. The car has always made a loud clunk when reversing after a first of the day start. It is then followed up after warming up with a clunk in the front seats center below us, and while turning in either direction. Hitting any minor bump on a highway while on any mild curve also causes the vehicle to jump a few feet over by itself. It-€™s frightening judging just how the car will grip after it-€™s roll. The only remedy is to decelerate under the speed limit during any curve to avoid the situation all together. I-€™m not sure I-€™d ever purchase a Mitsubishi again, as I-€™m only scratching the surface with mechanical defects. I would be happy to finally get some answers on how this was left in the dark so long. It-€™s comforting knowing friends and family dealing with the same problems. Thanks you, and warm regards!
