The lights on my clutch are not coming on. I’m concerned there are other electrical issues affecting the cluster and the odometer display.
On Dec 8,2023 our Mitsubishi Outlander shut off while being driven. When this occurred multiple warning lights come on including, service engine immediately, engine overheating (which it was not) and multiple other lights. It was towed to the dealership where they told us the ecu is bad. Mitsubishi no longer makes the part. They have also told us this is the 3rd vehicle in the last month with the same issue. Car had no power/electrical /engine issues prior to this event. Mitsubishi is offering no solution to fix the issue. Luckily when the car shut down we were driving at a low speed in a neighborhood. If this had happened on the freeway it could have been very dangerous. We now have no car, no possibility of repair and no answers to why this happened without warning.
My catalytic converter just went in my vehicle. I was told by dealership that the warranty expired by months. I contacted Mitsubishi and a case was opened. I was called by them today and they wont make an exception even though my mieage is well under the 80000 miles (under by over 28,000 miles) when I asked to talk to a manager I was told no and no exception would be made. I just want them to pay for the defective part.
Transmission is over heating after driving a short distance and fails to shift gears. Taken to a two seperate independent mechanics and was verified the transmission is the problem. I researched recalls and found the same issues with 2015-2016 Outlander tansmissions.
Car would randomly shudder and rpms fluctuate while idling. Then would just die when attempting to go from idle. Eventually asc service required warning came on with service engine light. Transmission tunnler was replaced. Car ran fine for a few weeks and problem has started again. Pulling into gas station, car started to shudder. Rpms fluctuated and asc service required came on again.
Without warning the rpm will drop to zero. At first it would start right back up without having to restart it. Now without warning it will just die and rpm goes to zero and I have to restart it. Check engine light will come on but no diagnostic codes are stored as to what the problem is. It has happened while stopped as well as driving don the road at 50 mph.
