While driving on the highway the vehicle started jumping RPM and jerking violently. The RPM would rise and then dramatically fall with a clunking sound coming from CVT transmission. Problem persisted at slower speed with slightly less severity. After tech review, it was determined CVT belt was slipping and transmission prematurely failed at 42k miles. Being the second owner, vehicle is out of warranty and I was quoted $8k for a new CVT.

I have a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport that was purchased in 2020 with 42 thousand miles on it. While I was on the highway I started experiencing acceleration hesitation and my car gave a message saying transmission service needed. I took my car to several mechanics that said my transmission is slipping and getting ready to die. They mentioned CVT issue. I contacted Mitsubishi but they told me according to my VIN my car is not under a recall. However, my mechanics informed me along with several reports that 2015-2016 outlander sports and certain model Lancers were recalled due to acceleration hesitation. When I asked what that meant in plain English I was told my transmission is bad and that’s what causes acceleration hesitation. Then Mitsubishi told me that my car would have to have been manufactured within a certain year in order for the recall to be valid for my vehicle. I was never informed of a recall and didn’t know something was wrong until I was in the middle of the highway with my son in the car. We could have been killed. The transmission in these vehicles are no good and I don’t care about a VIN my vehicle is the year make and model that was recalled. A manufacturing issue is not my issue. I want my vehicle properly repaired. It’s practically new. I have also reached out to my attorney.

Vehicle exhibits a shudder/surge condition (engine flare, lack of acceleration, and/or car shake) possibly caused by poor reaction of the hydraulic pressure circuit. The CVT belt slips repeatedly when accelerating, causing a warning light to turn on with DTC P084A. The vehicle exhibits exactly the conditions described in TSB-20-23-001 and is explicitly included in the affected vehicles section the bulletin (2015-2020 Outlander Sport with 2.0L Engine with CVT transmission). The conditions were confirmed using Diagnostic Procedure 2 on TSB-20-23-001 by certified mechanic at Meineke Car Care Center (Lexington, SC). However, VIN was not included in the recall as confirmed by MMNA service representatives. The scope of TSB-20-23-001 does not sufficiently cover all vehicles affected by the recall condition, as Mitsubishi excluded some vehicles for undisclosed reasons. Because Mitsubishi had previously failed to trace and identify all affected vehicles in its initial recall for this unsafe condition in TSB-17-23-002, it is possible or likely that Mitsubishi failed to trace or identify all affected vehicles in TSB-20-23-001. The scope should be expanded to all vehicles with CVT transmissions in the model years listed in the bulletin, without exception.

This vehicle as well as several other manufacturers are using jatco CVT transmissions which is designed with a metal belt rolling across 2 opposing size pulleys in the transmission to make transmission shifting smoother and faster. The problem with this type of technology is that over a period of time, the belt and the pulley start to grind against each other and reduce the size of each and cause slipping of the transmission. Metal shavings begin to appear in the transmission pan showing the wear. The design also mandates that the vehicle owner change the fluid and filter every 30,000 miles at the cost of $200 to $300 out of the owners pocket. When this transmission starts producing metal shavings in the bottom of the transmission pan, such as it has in my vehicle, which only has 103,000 miles and the vehicle is only 4 years old, replacing the transmission is the only option. The dealership costs $9,400 and a couple of transmission shops have quoted $7,400. This technology costs the consumer more to not only operate but also devalues the price of their vehicle in a short span of time. Most transmission experts estimate and have experienced trouble with this transmission to last no more than 3 to 5 years before it must be replaced. I have taken this vehicle to the mitsubishi dealership and to a transmission shop for a 2nd opinion about the slipping. The transmission only slips when the vehicle is first engaged into gear. After a 2 second hesitation, the vehicle drives without any issues. I have contacted the bbb, the louisiana attorney general, mitsubishi's us headquarters, several attorneys, who won't represent me because nobody has gotten injured, and I have contacted the manufacturer of the transmission (jatco USA, inc}. Mitsubishi and the dealership won't research why this transmission is failing at the low mileage.

Vehicle would not excelerate and almost got into an accident while on highway. No warning was given beforehand, just suddenly acted this way. I had to turn my car off then on quickly to get it going because it wouldnt go. It then tells me there is a transmission problem. I then had to go 40 MPH and no more as it wouldnt let me go faster. Took to an auto place and told me CVT belt slips repeatedly and powder enters the thing. P0776, p0730, p0741, pour a, p0969, p2719. These are the things given to me by auto place.

The shifter assembly came apart after I shifted from park to drive. Plastic pieces and indicator covers popped out through the center console and were visible. While I was driving the bunched up plastic pieces would cause my vehicle to go into neutral, and I would have to hold my shifter in drive to prevent it from slipping back into neutral .
