1) transmission or power train 2) the vehicle may be inspected at request 3) the vehicle starts and may go for about a mile, and then it will buck and act like it's in neutral for all gears. I got stuck in the middle of an intersection turning left. I managed to get it back home, and then needed help pushing it into the driveway, where it sits. 4) I have seen several similar complaints for the years; 2012, and 2014 through 2021. 5) the vehicle has been worked on, and the valve body for the transmission was replaced about a month ago. 6) the warning message that popped up just before the issue was "transmission service is required. " it appeared on 9/27/2021, the day I was giving a ride to someone across town. I had recently replaced the valve body, because the solenoids were failing, and the transmission itself was serviced.

At 115,000 miles, the transmission went out. My SUV no longer goes above 30mph without the rpms wildly jumping. Both the 2014 and 2015 models have a recall for this very cvt issue but the 2013 does not.

Driving down the interstate its about 85 degrees out and im going 70 mph. The transmission over heat light come on and it says to slow down. I didn't have a choice because the car started slowing down on its own. About 5 miles a pull over at a exit. I let it sit for about 15 minutes. Everything cleared up and I was able to make it home with no more problems.

Is bad, then they said that wasnt it that the transmission's mold is defective and they have to order a new transmission from Mitsubishi in japan, I havent had the vehicle now for almost 3 weeks and they told me it would be another 2 weeks,.
