The contact owns a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The contact replaced the battery; however, while driving, the vehicle jerked and hesitated to respond upon depressing the accelerator pedal. The traction control warning light and an unknown warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the map sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the vehicle was not covered under Mitsubishi campaign number: sr?16?006. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable.
At just under 60,000 miles, the rear back up camera stopped working, resulting in a safety hazard while backing up. When I contacted the dealer, I was told they are familiar with the issue, but it's commonly in the stereo head unit, which is not covered under warranty, and would not look at it as they said it's costly , up to $800 to replace the head unit.
Doors does not lock automatically once you are on drive. Driver manually need to lock the doors. Took the car to dealer to configure automatic door lock, but they have mentioned the vehicle is not equipped to lock the doors automatically. This is a basic safety feature, I didn't understand why this feature not equipped.
While driving the fcm, (front crash mitigation), and acc, (adapter cruise control), lights came on with message "service required". I took the car to the dealer they could find nothing wrong. A month later they came on again, the dealer could find nothing wrong. The next time the lights came on it was "airbag service required". I took the car to the dealer, they diagnosed the ecu going bad. Now, when a light comes on, which is often, I don't have any idea if something is really not working. They told me it would be a week to get the part, today they told me the part is on back order. I am not happy about having this problem with a six month old car. I also find it odd that a part for a brand new car is on backorder.
