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 th

Several instances where acceleration failed momentarily were followed by a recall. Several weeks after the issue was 'corrected", acceleration failed to generate a speed past 30 MPH for a few moments, then 25 MPH, and I barely managed to get back at home at no more than 20 MPH. Every time I stepped on the gas, it caused acceleration to decrease until I stopped and coasted at 20.
On 12/13/2015 I was at a one way stop intersection and as I proceeded to accelerate through the intersection the vehicle lost power to the drive wheels momentarily and then reengaged with a jerk. It felt like the transmission slipped and then grabbed or reengaged. A few days before this I had received a recall notice to have the transmission control program replaced. I have since taken the vehicle in for the recall service and also reported the near miss due to the loss of driving power. The recall service was performed and the dealership failed to reproduce the loss of power or identify the root cause of the failure. So far this failure has only happened once but I will continue to monitor. Loss of power while attempting to accelerate through an intersection to me is of significant safet
Purchased vehicle brand new and have been experiencing jerking and hesitation during acceleration. When stopped at a light, vehicle doesn't move with when trying to accelerate and then suddenly jerks off. Took the vehicle back to two different Mitsubishi dealerships, including the one of purchase, and they are finding no codes or issues wrong. *tr
Car won’t drive over 10 mph The problem was supposed to fixed a year ago by car max in Woodbridge now it happened again
Hi to whom it may concern Mitsubishi recalled our 2015 outlander for defective CVT transmission, we took it to the dealership workshop, were they upgrade or fixed although after few days, we tried many times to run the car on CVT, but its useless, noise, delayed bumpy acceleration, the car is not safe and reliable.
The SUV seems to miss or hesitate when slowing to make a turn. It feels like it sputters or sticks at times when accelerating or slowing down. It usually rides smooth when driving at a constant speed, but sort of jerks when acceleration changes. I wanted to know if there were any recalls because I want to be sure the problem won't create a driving hazard. *tr
We purchased new a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport which has a Recall regarding the CVT transmission causing Vehicle Hesitation when Accelerating increasing the risk of a crash. We began experiencing "Hesitation when Accelerating" along with a "Transmission Service Required Light" in November 2023. Upon contacting a Mitsubishi Dealership, we were told by a Service Rep that the Recall had already been performed on our vehicle and there was nothing else to do regarding the Recall. I explained that the problem with the CVT had not been correctly repaired due to the fact that we are now experiencing the cause and affect issues that mandated the Recall on the CVT Power Train. This is my wife's car and we are very concerned with this issue and the reluctance of Mitsubishi to correctly make the n
For those of you who had the same issue as I did with hesitation at low speeds and the engine RPM at higher speeds - I received this letter on friday december 4th - please take your vehicles into the dealership and get them fixed- you will no longer have to worry about getting into an accident - and it's not the inhibitor switch.
Driving nov 6 and I heard a noise, almost thought I hit a pot hole or something, come to a red light and dmy car .akes a whining noise and will not go. I put in a claim to my insurance company which was denied before they even looked at the car, I called back and made an adjuster look at the car because I had already been told that the transmission was going to cost about $7,000. I'm a single mother of two kids and I just finished paying that car off. So then I start reading about recalls after my insurance company denied the claim I've been without a car for about 4 weeks and I find out about the so many recalls that Mitsubishi had with the Outlander just I'm outside of the date of manufacturer so then I find this safety recall SR-17-005 for 2015 Outlander campaign C1606Z. Even when
CVT hesitation which has caused several accident misses.this happens when the vehicle is stationary and in a take off motion. This happens constantly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi outlander sport. While depressing the accelerator pedal at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. Also, the parking brake failed to operate and the vehicle rolled when parked on an incline. The parking brake warning indicator illuminated when the failure occurred. The contact spoke with kelly Mitsubishi-emmaus (536 state ave, emmaus, pa 18049) and was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact associated the power train failure with NHTSA campaign number: 16v563000 (power train) and the parking brake failure with NHTSA campaign number: 18v070000 (parking brake). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 84,000.
When the back windows are down there is a horrible vibration noise. It does not go away until the windows are up all the way. It's only with the back windows and it's very annoying and distracting. It happens every time the back windows are down, even just one window down in the rear causes this to happen. I'm surprised it hasn't caused an accident because it's so very distracting!!!! Vehicle needs to be moving.
The backup camera view is not shown on the infotainment system. The screen goes blank. Checking the hidden menu, the backup camera view is available. This impacts reverse packing and hence safety of the pedestrians and passengers.
Traveling on freeway began experiencing hesitation in engine. Thought possible poor gas. Added 91 octane. Got back on road hesitation got worse. Engine light saying transmission service required. 20 miles from nearest town transmission stops and I am stranded on side of interstate 10

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. May
