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 the issue feels like but I do know for certain that something is wrong. High engine speeds during 0-~60 MPH acceleration: when I need to accelerate to merge into traffic going 45-65 MPH (accelerating from 0-30 MPH range) my engine speed approaches 6000 RPM but never enters the red area behind the gauge, I often need to accelerate from the 0-30 MPH range to 45-65 MPH range to jump onto a highway or freeway and my engine speeds get much higher than anything I have ever experienced before. I suspect the automatic shifting mechanism is broken or is made poorly. I have brought my vehicle into a genuine mitsubishi dealership and had them run a complete diagnostic, even a diagnostic on my transmission with everything coming back fine. I honestly don't even know what the issue is but I have documents verifying that nothing is wrong with my vehicle but no diagnosis, however I was told that my fluid was good for another year, the transmission might still be "learning' my driving style, and my vehicle has a brake 'priming' system that helps stop your vehicle in heavy traffic.

While driving on the highway, the transmission started to fail. This issues occurred overnight!
This is the 4th time I will be replacing my transmission. It jerks and then fails. I cannot change shifts, it takes about a minute then it will move. I have complained to mitsubishi and they told me there was a recall on the whole transmission, I also work at a dealer and know there is a recall. This time when I called and asked them to buy it back as a lemon, they are now telling me there has never been a recall on the transmission. I can keep replacing my transmission every 4k miles and risking my life if it fails on the freeway that I take everyday fr work.
Transmission hesitates while driving, then it jumps. When it jumps it surges. We thought it was the transmission. Our son said it maybe the relay switch to do with the CVT engine. It is setting in th driveway .
My car had had 3 transmissions replaced I'm the past year. It will be going in for it's fourth transmission. It has 54,0000 miles on it. The car would t move and I almost got hit in the rear on a major highway in ohio.

I was told my entire transmission was under recall but mittsubishi of orange park in jacksonville florida and that it needed to be replaced. I am now being told that they will not fix because I am 2nd owner and because of milage. I have put about 80000 miles on k. Original owner put 43000 miles on car. I was unaware that there were any recalls on vehicle when I purchased it and would not have if had known. As well as that I received no notification from mittsubishi in my 3 years of owning vehicle to bring vehicle to repair recalls . Vehicle will suddunley stop in traffic will not accelarate or just turns off in the middle of turning .

Takata recall- while driving down the road its like the transmission is slipping it reves up the engine RPM up and down
The powertrain / automatic transmission control module cooling unit and lines and the TCM/PCM are causing the transmission to shift many times going on flat road or climbing a grade the transmission shifts' erractic. The federal safety agency recall on this vehicle on 7/22/2016 / 7/28/2016 / 7/28/2016 and the dealership states that this vehicle is out of warranty. Please help
I was driving on a highway when the transmission started feeling like it was slipping. I pulled over checked all the fluids and everything was fine. I was miles from the nearest town. So I started driving again and 2 miles down the road the transmission light came on. When this happened the car stopped accelerating and started revving up. I turned the hazard on and pulled off onto the side of a busy highway. I tried to accelerate again and the engine reved again. I turned the car off and started it again the transmission light went off. I put the car in reverse and was able to back up to get further over off the road. I tried to put it in drive and the car wouldn't move but the light remained off. I called a tow truck and had to have it towed to a safe location. I took it to a dealer ship and they claimed it was the CVT and it was internal. I would have to have to whole unit replaced. They quoted me around 7,000. My brother-in-law called to get more info and they quoted him around 4,000. There are 108,000 miles on my 2015. So it's over warranty and I felt like they were trying to rip me off. I have seen similar recalls for this type of thing happening. I am concerned for the safety of myself and others with this happening out of nowhere.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 mitsubishi outlander sport. While accelerating from a stop, the vehicle shuddered when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Also, the check transmission warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to jeff d'ambrosio mitsubishi downingtown (1223 e lancaster ave, downingtown, pa 19335, (484) 593-5000) and was awaiting diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000.
During initial acceleration from a standstill, or when accelerating again after either constant speed operation or coasting the transmission will delay in the vehicle accelerating. While at 60-65 MPH the vehicle will fluctuate in RPM and try to accelerate on its own. The service transmission light came on and the check engine light has been going off and on since the vehicle was purchased in october 2017. When bringing it in for service dealer says there is nothing wrong. I went to autozone when the check engine light went on and it is stating the catalytic converter bank 1 has issues. So when I parked it this morning 4-24-18 because of the light going one for the transmission, I tried starting it and it started but hesitated and then all the check engine lights went off. I believe there is something up with the ecu too. I know there are recalls for 2015 outlander sports but why not mine when I am having the same issues. Thank you
Ongoing problems with this vehicle. Bought new 9/2015. Treated appallingly at pos. Unreliable instrument panel kept showing a p0017 code at 15k, would not clear. Took to dealer for $450 29k service, check engine light stayed on after this for long period of time then off. Car "passed" all checks at different dealer but they said "timing chain" looked loose in 4/2017 they said we could replace the chain, cam and crank shaft and sensors at our expense for 4k on a new car. 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. Car drove fine until recently, car then stalled while in motion through intersection in rush hour, seized up 42k miles. Dealer refused tow as dealership more than 21 miles dishonored roadside service. Our aaa took to mechanic near home who does japanese cars, timing chain broke dx $150. Dealer refused to honor warranty. Charged to rediagnose, had to tow back to dealer $150 diagnosis again, timing chain broke, entire engine needs replacing. Car died in intersection, was almost killed. Denied warranty coverage. 7 recalls on this vehicle so far, one is stalling like we said!!!! Dangerous car, do not buy! Please recall engine is bad, dealer asking 10k to replace! Seattle mitsubishi pierre. Car burned oil quick it seems, even synthetic. This is a pattern, must recall entire engine on these vehicles, people will die.
My 2015 mitsubishi outlander sport developed transmission problem and warning light came on including engine service light. It only has 34173 miles on it. I researched that it had a recall for a defective transmission hose assembly but mitsubishi no longer lists the recall. I would like to see that my vehicle gets repaired as the manufacturing date of the vehicle falls in the time when this issue was not detected during assembly.
The CVT transmission went completely out. This vehicle is only 2 years old and we were in the middle of no where new mexico. We were driving, no problems and then all of the sudden it said stop the vehicle transmission overheat. We immediately pulled over. Ended up having the vehicle transported back home to texas and was told the warranty had just ran out. We missed it by 3,000 miles. Ended up spending over $6,000.00 on a new transmission and it is still not running right. I thought I had researched this type of vehicle before purchasing it, apparently not. Now I'm scared to take it on road trips. Only drive to and from work.
When driving my car is hesitant and it jerks you when pressure is applied to the gas pedal.
After coming to a complete stop at multiple stop lights, and trying to accelerate again, the car failed to accelerate. The rpms did not move, nor did the engine sound like it was accelerating.
One day my truck just starting losing power in the middle of driving on the highway. I pulled over and restarted the car. It started but wasn't was stalling. I got to safety. Brought transmission fluid and put in it. It helped me get home. Called dealership next date car still under warranty. Was told that I put wrong fluid so the warranty is invalid. Had arbitrator found no manufacturing issue even though two recalls on my vehicle and one specifically states what happened to my truck is due to this recall. Truck loses power frequently. Afraid to drive it, but gave no choice.
2/5, noticed my vehicle was losing power while driving....thought it was the transmission...all dealerships was closed...I had to put fluid in the vehicle to get home...called dealership early monday morning, told them my problem...was given earliest days on tuesday morning. Took vehicle in and called later that day and told because of the 1 qt of transmission fluid I used, which I was told was the wro6kind...they couldn't fix my vehicle even though there is a recall on my vehicle th at causes the transmission to lose power which it did...no one is offering a solution...I keep being told that because I put the wrong type of fluid, that made the warranty invalid I would not had to put the fluid in the vehicle had it been performing properly. Never was notified of recall, found this put when I took the vehicle to dealership and research
My car had the safety recall fixed, the computer for the slow acceleration. Since then, the shifting has been off. Anytime you speed up, the RPM's go very high until you let your foot off the gas. It sounds like the engine/transmission is going to explode. I've tried to have the dealer fix, they can't find anything wrong with it. Mitsubishi says the dealer told them there is nothing wrong. So, it's just supposed to run at a high RPM anytime I speed up? Will that not cause damage? This has been an ongoing problem.
I purchased my 2015 outlander sport SUV after owning a montero sport and loving it for over 12 years. I noticed within a month that when I would start off from a stoplight, my automatic transmission would jump like it was a manual transmission. During this jump, my SUV would slow down and not accelerate. When it did kick in, it would jerk me forward. I now understand that their are many experiencing this same issue and have a repair appointment in 2 days. I sure hope this repair takes care of the issue or the federal safety agency will take steps to insure that consumers are safe driving on our USA roads.
09/02/2016... Took my vehicle to the dealer to perform service for a recall about the outlander hesitating at slow speeds and when accelerating from a stop. I am still experiencing the problem. I asked the dealer after the service, did that fix the problem. He said I hope so, I don't know what else to do. Please look into this. I would like to know that when I need my car to go......it will go!!
While driving and braking, I notice a hesitation, sometimes to slow and sometimes a burst of speed. This is usually starting out or trying to slow or stop. I also at the same time notice sometimes maybe hitting brakes leads to this. Not sure if power train or electrical but very concerned. Also, I had a friend that had a 2015 outlander and the airbags did not execute at 50 MPH accident. This is a very high concern. I checked VIN but did not see anything.
While driving during acceleration after I have stopped or slowed down the vehicle loses power and jerks and jumps before I can accelerate again. This issue is intermittent and I have taken it to the dealer but it didn't happen while they were test driving it and told me everything was fine. This mainly happens while trying to go through intersections and I am very concerned that it will cause a accident. I just bought this vehicle a week ago with only 17,000 miles on it.
