Tl* the contact owns a 2015 mitsubishi outlander. While driving various speeds and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The failure occurred intermittently and without warning. The contact stated that the failure was the same as the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v563000 (power train). Roswell mitsubishi (11170 alpharetta hwy, roswell, ga 30076, (678) 349-2900) was not able to duplicate the failure during a diagnostic test; however, they flushed the transmission and changed the filters. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.
Transmission was pulsating and jerky. Dealer installed a rebuilt trans, 3 weeks later a line blows off. Dealer put line back on and topped off fluid. 3 days later trans goes completely out. Dealer installs new trans and it still shakes. Said car was purchased in june 2018, we've made 6 payments and the car had been in the shop for three of those.
We purchased our 2015 outlander in feb 2017 with only 25,000 miles. It was manufactured in july 2015 with a 2.0 liter engine. There is a recall for shuddering engines for this vehicle during this time, however out VIN did not appear on the recall list. When I am stopped at a red light or slow down, then try to speed up, the transmission shutters and jumps forward. There is now another issue resulting in the vehicle to increase RPM's without gaining speed. With further inspection, there was no transmission fluid in the reserve. This vehicle is now only at 34,000 miles. I scheduled a warranty maintenance visit, the dealer doesn't have availability for another month.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 mitsubishi outlander. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 16v563000 (power train) and 16v548000 (power train). The dealer completed both repairs, but the remedy provided no solution. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and jerked several times shortly after both recall repairs were performed.

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.
Takata recall I bought this vehicle in houston texas and had it "shipped" to kamuela hawaii. The big island does not have a mitshibishi dealer. This information was not disclosed to me. I am unable to take this item in for recall remedy. I feel the dealer was aware there was no mitshibishi dealer here and this recall is an issue and now I have a defect vehicle in a place in which I cannot rememdy. I am unable to ship this vehicle anywhere to get this recall fixed. I am highly upset and need help! I just got the recall in the mail dated august... It costs over 1000 to have this vehicle shipped anywhere for dealer repair. They need to replace my funds and take this vehicle back!

Transmission broke down after about 17000 miles from a programming problem from the manufacturer. Replaced transmission and still having problems. Car is still in shop and this happened about 30 days ago. I did get car for a week and had to return it back to the shop.
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
Hear stick pops out of fear with slightest touch while driving. Transmission drops to lower fear while driving. Have to pull over and restart car to get it to work properly. Engine has 15,693 miles, mechanic says a rod is knocking and shouldn't be running the fan to cool as much as it does. All this has multiple occurances. Mitsubishi has had the car twice but found nothing wrong.
At a low speed or slowing down the transmission will shutter. The longer you drive the mor it happens.
