2015 Mitsubishi Outlander: hesitation when accelerating

Filed May 12, 2023 · Transmission · IN

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.

I went to go turn on my car when I got out of work and when I put the vehicle on drive and pressed the gas pedal the car would not move when the gas pedal was pressed! So I turned off the car and turned the car back on and put the car on drive and pressed the gas pedal and the car revved up and moved a little with hesitation. So I put the car on reverse and pressed the gas pedal and car would rev up but not move! So I turned off the car and turned it back on again and put it in reverse again and pressed the gas pedal again and the car moved but with hesitation and with not a lot of force! So I leave the car at my workplace and get the car towed to my house the next day! I call the dealer because my mechanic seen there was a recall with the vehicle hesitating to move and I gave them my VIN number and the dealer told me there's nothing they could do because my vehicle wasn't on the recall list ! They also told me that to replace the transmission it was going to cost about $8000. My vehicle only has 114000 miles I shouldn't be having this problem! So now I'm stuck with a car that needs a new transmission/power train !

Just bought my car 10 days ago with 3 miles on it. Tonight was the second time in have had a problem with accelerating after coming to a stop. Today really scared me because my baby was with me. Car runs fine, idles fine, showed no drop in remember at any time. After starting from a complete stop the car began to move and wouldn't move anymore until I took my foot of the gas and re applied the gas, it had a bit of hesitation for a split second and went like it never happened. Drove like my new car the rest of the way home both times after this has happened. Have had no other signs of an issue with acceleratingredients but surely a major concern of getting into an accident with this issue. I have called the dealer and will be going into the service department tomorrow, but after reading that I am not the only one with this issue and my car has less than 300 miles on it I am going to speak to the dealership tomorrow with options of trading it

New vehicle purchased nov 16 2015. Two weeks after bought, vehicle began to slow down, then hesitate, stall out. The vehicle was put into shop due to a computer chip issue that occurred on 'the line.' got vehicle back and same problem. Mitsubishi put back in shop and replaced the transmission in dec 2015. Now same issue, stalling in lighted intersections, at stop signs, won't speed up, decelerates. Mitsubishi's answer? Put back in shop and going back in today, jan 12, 2016. Three times in less than three months I have had vehicle. I am afraid for my family member's safety while in the vehicle and my daughter in law who dries and rides in the vehicle is seven months pregnant. Please help us!! Do not want anyone using these vehicles to get injured as mitsubishi is aware of line problem and repairing many of these 2015's with same issue with no recall and will not replace the vehicle. Thank you
