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
No lights on. The vehicle is hesitage when driving.
Check engine illumination: code is showing that the Transmission Control Module has an error. When stopped the cars acceleration lags and causes stalls and delayed acceleration.
After being reprogrammed at the dealer my 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport started to exhibit a shudder, surge condition. Finally on March 2021 while driving on a highway the CVT started to slip and the vehicle started to exhibit a lack of acceleration untill it came to a stop in the middle lane almost causing an accident. The vehicle was scanned and codes P084A, P0776 and P0843 were present. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on a tow truck and scanned again and the same codes were present. Now the dealer is telling me that I need a new CVT transmission and that warranty was denied by Mitsubishi. It is to their knowledge that these CVT transmissions are defective and they are trying to fix them with a simple CVT ECU reprogramming and oil change as per the TSB-20-23-001, also charging the owner for the oil change. It is about time that the US Government make Mitsubishi Motors issue a mandatory recall since this is a dangerous condition that can cause a major accident on US highways. It is also time for a Class Action Suit against Mitsubishi Motors for selling a defective product and refusing to repair the vehicles.
my transmission is having issues and i only have 84,000 miles. Never had any other issues.

My transmission doesn't go into gear right away and doesn't drive right in automatic. If I switch it to manual and only go up to 5th gear it shifts fine. There was a transmission recall for same year make and model as mine. Those recalls happened around 80,000 miles. I have 84,000. I was previously told I needed either a fuel tank or fuel injectors, never got it diagnosed. My gas gauge reads full all the time even when I dont have gas.
My car has a major problem with acceleration hesitation in transmisson that has almost caused several accidents. Also whenever I ride down the road and hit the minute bump my steering jerk really bad and it happens on both sides causing me to jerk steering wheel almost run off the road several times.

The car when speeding it always like crashes since new . When you accelerate it doesn't go right away . Also the brakes get rusted right away so it makes sound. Also the air heater or AC are always working even when its off.
Vehicle has delay and/or hesitation when accelerating. I was driving on the highway at 60mph trying to pass another vehicle, but the car would not accelerate after I changed lanes. Finally, after several seconds, the car responded and jumped quickly up to speed. After this occurrence, it's now happening on side streets as well going as slow as 10-20mph.
Vehicle started having rough idle at about 70,000 miles when air conditioner would be turned on. Rmp's would fluctuate between 500-1000. Now at about 90,000 miles vehicle has rough idle whether AC is on or not. Vehicle has stalled when changing gears, while waiting at a stop or when sitting in traffic. Today 3/24/21 vehicle stalled while entering an intersection which could have caused an accident. Vehicle also has a hesitation when trying to accelerate whether from a stop or from a coasting speed.vehicle was taken to dealership on october 2019 for cvt8-ECM reflash as per recall but it only solved the acceleration problem for a couple of months. There should be another recall on this vehicle as these problems can cause personal injury/accident.
When driving the mitsubishi it accelerates on it's own an jerks then slows down vehicle hesitates to accelerate pass 20 miles per hour at first then it speeds revving up I don't want to get hit from behind an I don't want to rear end anyone vice versa. The steering wheel feels loose an light weight. I have enclosed a youtube video that explains what the vehicle is doing note that is not me speaking in the youtube video but those are the exact issues that the guy in the video posted
Transmission issues/ failure at 116,000 miles with known issues from others online with the same issue/failure and replacement for 'specialty' CVT transmission unreasonably prices to replace. These transmission issues are not discussed at point of sale (which is the responsibility of salesman) but also no disclosure from mitsubishi. These transmissions should not fail so soon. When driving issues when shifting not as normal and there is no warning light that engages until right before your transmission fails. It is not safe!*dt consumer stated her VIN was not part of the recall.

My car started to experience a surge condition while driving on the highway and a transmission service required is shown at the dashboard along with a code p084a that was scanned at the dealer. Now the dealer is telling me that I need a new transmission. I asked how come my car is not covered by the recall that mitsubishi did for 2015 outlander sport back in april of 2020, since the symptoms are the same as per the tsb-20-23-001 and they told me that, it goes only by the VIN #, and my car is not listed. Now they offered my a new transmission for almost $7k or a used one for $3.5 k I just cannot afford to pay this amount of money, my car barely passed 100k (117k to be exact)
The vehicle lags during gear shifts and has a big lag when starting to drive. It does not happen all the time, but will happen when you least expect it. There was a recall for this problem, which I had done. But when the vehicle continued to do this after the recall was complete, red deer mitsubishi in red deer alberta refused to look any further, or contact head office. Please note: 1. Timing of events was around the original recall. 2. I live in canada so I had to use alaska as the state, and I hadto make up a zip code. My real address is above that. 3. When did this happen? I am guessing the date. *cc
At 56k miles the tachometer would rev up to 5 while maintaining an even speed, then when going up hills there was no power. Very sudden issue no warning, then warning light service transmission required came on. Very frustrated - my first mitsubishi and I want it gone. I've seen recalls for this year but my VIN says there are none.
My vehicle was part of a recall for transmission problems. I am being told it has no current open recalls and since I am the second owner I do not have a warranty. I'm currently having to replace the transmission on my 5 year old vehicle with only 43,000 miles for the exact same issues listed in the recall.*dt
2015 mitsubishi started sputterring while waiting for red light and hesitates when accelerating. Check engine came on. Looks like there are other similar complaints, but when I looked up the recall my vehicle is not included.

This 2015 outlander sport was bought from a dealer at 42,000 miles, now it has 69,000 miles on it. The car would do jumps or jerks during low speed or getting up to speed about 30-45mph. The RPM jumps up and down while going 50-70mph on the highway. It is having the exact same problem as the mitsubishi recall sr-16-006 stated back in 2016 for 2015-2016 outlander sport. We took the car to a mitsubishi dealer the next day. The dealer said that there is an internal failure with the transmission, code 084a, fluid pressure sensor performance. The dealer wants $7,700 to replace the transmission. Sadly, a second owner's powertrain warranty was expired at 60,000 miles. The car had the CVT-ecu software updated back in 2016 through the mitsubishi recall sr-16-006 when it was owned by the dealer. The dealer did not replace the transmission as they should have according to the recall. Thus here we are, the owners with cars that have the old transmissions with the problem that should have been fixed! Mitsubishi needs to make another recall for the transmission as soon as possible. It is very dangerous in the traffic to suddenly lose power to accelerate or when the car wants to shift to neutral and then back to drive by itself constantly! This is clearly a manufacturer safety defect, the car barely has 69,000 miles! We are a mitsubishi family. We have a 2002 lancer that is currently at 200,000+ miles without any major repair! We also have a 2014 outlander sport that is still running well at 60,500+ miles, and we're hoping for the best. It is very sad to be in this position. This video shows the problem the car is having: https://youtu.be/abd9phf5cea?t=107 look at the recent complaints about this defect and think about how many of those who don't have access to the federal safety agency information:
Transmisin slips , car studders during acceleration, very dangerous when trying to cross a street or entering highways. Very hard to control steering, engine makes a loud noise (as if you aceelerate and there is no power, high RPM noise)
