Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On september 2019 around 10:45 pm, mitsubishi outlander sport 2016 was the cause of garage fire at my house. The fire started in the engine /battery area after I had tried to give a jump start a day before but the car did not start. Fire was mostly contained under the hood. Since 2016, the car was mostly garaged and sparingly driven and had very very low miles not enough to get first service if I recall correctly. The interior still smells fresh car. I had registered the car with dmv as non operative status and did not renew my insurance as I was not driving the vehicle for quite some time. Even when I drove couple of time, mitsubishi smelled like rotten eggs especially when I would start or park after a short drive. I asked the local dealer and was not told to ignore it. I have few documents from dmv, insurance and photos that I will attach. I need to be totally reimbursed for the price of the car. I do have few loan payment receipts , if needed to prove. After the fire, neither home nor auto insurance will cover the damage of the car. The burnt car is sitting in my driveway. Please help asap.
My vehicle does not accelerate at times and its an issue while driving. I want to avoid getting into an accident and I do not know if its an engine or transmission issue.
The car throttles when accelerating from slow speeds. There has been 6 recalls on the car which such an unfortunate thing . I am getting a denial from northstar mitsubishi that this was a recall issue
My name is [xxx], e-mail address is [xxx]. I was at the victory mitsubishi dealer for service on 7/20/19. I complaint about hesitation and reduce power when accelerating. I told them about the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v563000 and mitsubishii recall number sr-16-006 on this safety issue, they refused to entertain this potential risk because mmna did not list my VIN number as possible vehicle covered by this recall. They instead offered to charge me the throttle body cleaning and change the transmission fluid. I paid for the transmission fuel change at approximately 26.600 miles in advance of the maintenance schedule. The car is still hesitating at various temperatures. I need this fixed!! And I would like an apology from the factory trained service technician that did not listen to my complaint!
