2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport: engine failure

Filed Apr 23, 2023 · Brakes · MN

This problem has been reported to the local dealership whom fixed the recall and they are refusing to correct the other problem that is related to the recall. The emergency brake will not release in lower freezing temperatures and or it will release and while driving seize up and stop the rear driver side tire. This causes an instant swaying of the vehicle and could potentially cause vehicle to roll if this happens at higher speeds. So far it has only happened under 35 mph. The dealership claims it’s the cable for the emergency brake that need to be replaced and there is not faulty parts that had been replaced under the recall. On that same wheel that this problem occurs the caliper has been stuck and worn. Down the pad and now is wearing into the rotor. It’s only on one side and everything that was listed under the recall for 2016 models and newer seems to match the problems with this vehicle as well. All the brakes and rotors were replaced a year ago. A tire was replaced after it had seized up and was dragging, wearing down the tire in one spot. I am asking that my vehicle have another inspection by a different facility that would be willing to look further and assist in reporting reconsideration to include the repairs that are needed on this vehicle.

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.

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.
