CVT failure by model year
What owners say
It has hesitation when accelerating and stuttering while driving. its throwing a code PO868 for the transmission. It's a cvt transmission, and it feels like a transmission slip at times, or it takes off then hesitates then goes again. Other times it stutters. Its a risk because now our chances of being in a accident increases. Until it threw the code there were no issues then all the sudden there was the issue.

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.
Cvt hesitation which has caused several accident misses.this happens when the vehicle is stationary and in a take off motion. This happens constantly.
