general problems of the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander

My Mitsubishi vehicle has an open recall related to a drive belt issue. Mitsubishi confirmed the recall, but the company have not completed the repair or scheduled an appointment, even after several attempts to contact them. The vehicle has stalled multiple times while driving, including on city roads. When it stalls, the check engine light comes on, and the car loses all power. I have to restart it to keep driving. This is a serious safety risk because it happens suddenly and could lead to an accident. The alternator and battery were both tested and are in good condition, so the problem appears related to the recalled belt or electrical system. The issue was confirmed by an independent mechanic, but Mitsubishi has not provided a repair or timeline. The problem continues and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive, especially in cold or highway conditions.

The contact owns a 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the battery warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle overheated. An independent mechanic arrived at the scene and informed the contact that the serpentine belt had detached. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred 2 more times. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 18v069000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.

The vehicle stops randomly while driving- usually while going 60 mph and reducing the speed in the express way, it just automatically turns off. It has already happened to me twice.

Transmission is failing to change gears. The car won't shift through 3rd gear. We were on the interstate going65 when it happened.
