Each door latch on our car has had to be replaced, all at separate times since we bought the car in 2017. The door latches will not lock/unlock with the fob or driver panel. It causes a safety issue with the door. It could come open (from failure to latch) while driving and people can fall out. It does not lock/unlock when you lock the car from the driver panel or fob and people can just open your door and enter it. Which has happened to us. The only way to lock/unlock it is from the inside from that door, since the fob, driver panel do not work, but then you have to scoot across the seat and come out the other side of the car to get out of the car, and then you still can’t unlock it unless you scoot back over and unlock that door since there is only 1 door with a key entrance, the driver
My greatest concern is the engine stalling while driving, new battery draining so quickly , the vehicle shaking while idle then shuts off. I cannot understand how my vehicle was not added to the engine stall recall even with these problems replicating what Mitsubishi identifies in there past recalls. This is very dangerous because macanics or diagnostic computers cannot identify problems with the car but after driving it for a good while or maybe a few hours the car could just shut off in the middle of no where in a highway which has already happened to me endangering me and my family. I write to NHTSA today so that my vehicle as urgently as possible can be included in a investigation for this vehicle to be included in Mitsubishi's recall.
The vehicle is turned off and parked on a city street. When I'm going to turn it on, the car's battery is dead. I have been through this same situation five (5) times. In a period of two (2) years, the car has discharged five (5) new batteries, including the one that came from the factory. Every time this happens, I request the roadside assistance service to recharge the battery and immediately, take the vehicle to an auto parts store to purchase a new battery. The dates on which this situation has occurred are: 06/19/2018; 04/30/2019; 02/10/2019; 08/05/2020; 08/17/2020.
Used my e brake and now my rear is grinding. My car just hit 30,000 miles. I’ve put 12,000 on it. Brakes work fine. Only happened after I used e brake
While driving, the vehicle will randomly shut off and lose all power. If I jump the car, it starts up and runs fine for a while. Also, there have been several incidents when I park the car, and it immediately loses all power and needs to be jumped. I have had the battery, alternaor and starter checked, and all are working fine per the mechanic. There have also been instances when we are pushing on the gas pedal, but the car appears to be losing power, and we have to pull over to the side of the road, wait a few minutes, and then the vehicle will start and run fine.
This 2017 outlander has had issues with the tire rod multiple times. It needed to be fixed approx every three months and the tires needed constant changing as well. This vehicle had a timing chain issue which left me stranded in the middle of the high way. the power stopped, the car started to jerk back and forth and it would power off. We had to get this car towed to three seperate mechanics as no one would work on a mitsubishi and I was told it was the timing chain with possible engine damage. Prio to all of this happening the radio and electrical system would freeze or automatically turn off and on, it never resolved and blue tooth was rarely able to be used.

The 2017 Mitsubishi outlander sport's CVT transmission hesitant while accelerating from a stop then it surges with power and the RPM fluctuates up and down continuously. When given gas the vehicle sometimes does not accelerate. This vehicle was not always like this. I recorded multiple video showing the RPM fluctuates constantly even in cruise control. I took it to local Mitsubishi dealership and they kept the vehicle for a day to log the data as they drove it around only to be told "there is nothing wrong with it"
The vehicle sounds really loud when it runs. When I press the accelerator it sounds like it is in 4wd. It is not getting enough force.
Transmission failed, needs transmission replaced. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport gt 2017 car starts shifts into gear and won’t go just revs up. Towed to garage and told needs new transmission.

My vehicle kept going into "limp mode" so I took it to the shop and they basically said $9,000 to replace. It's a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport which I purchased from Carvana just over a year ago. After reading up on my vehicle, I found there were recalls on the CVT transmission the previous years because of the same exact issues. It's very unsafe because on more than one occasion, I pulled out of a parking lot and, drove for about a half a mile and then suddenly, my car loses power and starts to slow down in traffic. Now the expense to replace is just about what I owe on the vehicle. When I look online, there's many customers who have gone though the same thing. Now I have a car payment for the next 4 years on a car that I cannot safely drive. The issues from the previous years have not

My 17-year old son was stopped at a stop sign. He waited until any oncoming cars had passed before he started to move out of the stop. He turned right out of the stop and onto the cross street. After only a few feet, my son notice the front of the vehicle was angled toward the curb & he tried to pull the wheel out of the angle and stepped on the brakes. The steering wheel would not turn AT ALL & the brakes didn't do anything. My son stepped on the brake pedal two more times and the vehicle DID NOT slow down or respond to this. The car went into the front steps of our local Police Station. Because he had about 40 feet from stop sign to impact, we estimate he had about 2 seconds to respond to this situation & could not have exceeded 10-15mph in that time. Upon impact, the air bag did not dep
