general problems of the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander - part 2

Purchased my used vehicle at my local dealer, in which,they just received into inventory and had not been reconditioned at all ,prepping for resale,but this vehicle was still offered to me in a nonformal fashion; since my low credit,low deposit,and prior repos that it be best if I choose that one. The vehicle has displayed symptoms of shuddering since day one. Test drive was uneventful since we remained low speed. However, immediately and if ever drive 55-75mph there would have shuddering and erratic rpm readings but would settle once slowed and time passed. The dealer was informed the next day of this + of all oil change,car wash,detail, inspection,etc. That were also offered as apart of the deal as well and they only picked up the vehicle once ,second day after financing vehicle,but they only installed a "gps" device within the vehicle and ignored and downplayed all my requests and accounts of the details of the matter entirely. The problem persisted and the dealer personnel gave me the run around and errors electronically that pushed this matter past warranty dateline and they informed me they were not obligated to any action. 2. 5 - 3 years have passed living with these unresolved issues gotten used to it until last month on the freeway the "service transmission" light illuminated it shuddered uncontrollably to a sudden stop where it was very difficult to steer to safe location,but once I stopped the vehicle would always start up but not would it accelerate forward or backwards every time. Sometimes yes ,and some not so much. Had to be towed home and seemed to drive about half of a block distance only as have had been completely cool,as opposed to warm or hot and attempting to move forward. Shows all the symptoms of safety campaign sr-16-006. Local repair shop was uncertain diagnosing ,but tried a complete transmission fluid exchange, which was a fail. As far as recalls dealership,too costly at the moment for tow to/from+inspection,since the recall shows error.

Car won’t drive over 10 mph the problem was supposed to fixed a year ago by car max in woodbridge now it happened again.

Check engine illumination: code is showing that the transmission control module has an error. When stopped the cars acceleration lags and causes stalls and delayed acceleration.

My transmission wasn't working properly. It is available for inspection if my vehicle can be towed where it needs to go as it does not drive on it's own. When my transmission stopped working I could have caused a collision. Yes, my vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer. Some warning signs were the transmission taking longer than it should to go into gear and having trouble accelerating.

The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal with an unknown transmission message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or serviced for the failure. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and informed that contact that there were no open recalls on the VIN.

While driving the vehicle surges forwards like it is having difficult shifting gears or accelerating . It happens while driving 40 miles . Al while at a stand still in traffic it shakes and vibrates like it wants to stall then pulls forward . The the transmission light flashes on then goes away.

My transmission is having issues and I only have 84,000 miles. Never had any other issues.

My car has a major problem with acceleration hesitation in transmisson that has almost caused several accidents. Also whenever I ride down the road and hit the minute bump my steering jerk really bad and it happens on both sides causing me to jerk steering wheel almost run off the road several times.

My transmission doesn't go into gear right away and doesn't drive right in automatic. If I switch it to manual and only go up to 5th gear it shifts fine. There was a transmission recall for same year make and model as mine. Those recalls happened around 80,000 miles. I have 84,000. I was previously told I needed either a fuel tank or fuel injectors, never got it diagnosed. My gas gauge reads full all the time even when I dont have gas.

Vehicle has delay and/or hesitation when accelerating. I was driving on the highway at 60mph trying to pass another vehicle, but the car would not accelerate after I changed lanes. Finally, after several seconds, the car responded and jumped quickly up to speed. After this occurrence, it's now happening on side streets as well going as slow as 10-20mph.

The car when speeding it always like crashes since new . When you accelerate it doesn't go right away . Also the brakes get rusted right away so it makes sound. Also the air heater or ac are always working even when its off.

Vehicle started having rough idle at about 70,000 miles when air conditioner would be turned on. Rmp's would fluctuate between 500-1000. Now at about 90,000 miles vehicle has rough idle whether ac is on or not. Vehicle has stalled when changing gears, while waiting at a stop or when sitting in traffic. Today 3/24/21 vehicle stalled while entering an intersection which could have caused an accident. Vehicle also has a hesitation when trying to accelerate whether from a stop or from a coasting speed. Vehicle was taken to dealership on October 2019 for cvt8-ecm reflash as per recall but it only solved the acceleration problem for a couple of months. There should be another recall on this vehicle as these problems can cause personal injury/accident.

After being reprogrammed at the dealer my 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport started to exhibit a shudder, surge condition. Finally on March 2021 while driving on a highway the cvt started to slip and the vehicle started to exhibit a lack of acceleration untill it came to a stop in the middle lane almost causing an accident. The vehicle was scanned and codes p084a, p0776 and p0843 were present. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on a tow truck and scanned again and the same codes were present. Now the dealer is telling me that I need a new cvt transmission and that warranty was denied by Mitsubishi. It is to their knowledge that these cvt transmissions are defective and they are trying to fix them with a simple cvt ecu reprogramming and oil change as per the TSB-20-23-001, also charging the owner for the oil change. It is about time that the us government make Mitsubishi motors issue a mandatory recall since this is a dangerous condition that can cause a major accident on us highways. It is also time for a class action suit against Mitsubishi motors for selling a defective product and refusing to repair the vehicles.

The cvt transmissions are terrible and fail.

I went to go turn on my car when I got out of work and when I put the vehicle on drive and pressed the gas pedal the car would not move when the gas pedal was pressed! so I turned off the car and turned the car back on and put the car on drive and pressed the gas pedal and the car revved up and moved a little with hesitation. So I put the car on reverse and pressed the gas pedal and car would rev up but not move! so I turned off the car and turned it back on again and put it in reverse again and pressed the gas pedal again and the car moved but with hesitation and with not a lot of force! so I leave the car at my workplace and get the car towed to my house the next day! I call the dealer because my mechanic seen there was a recall with the vehicle hesitating to move and I gave them my VIN number and the dealer told me there's nothing they could do because my vehicle wasn't on the recall list ! they also told me that to replace the transmission it was going to cost about $8000. My vehicle only has 114000 miles I shouldn't be having this problem! so now I'm stuck with a car that needs a new transmission/power train !.

When driving the Mitsubishi it accelerates on it's own an jerks then slows down vehicle hesitates to accelerate pass 20 miles per hour at first then it speeds revving up I don't want to get hit from behind an I don't want to rear end anyone vice versa. The steering wheel feels loose an light weight. I have enclosed a youtube video that explains what the vehicle is doing note that is not me speaking in the youtube video but those are the exact issues that the guy in the video posted.

The contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing rough idles, and the failure mainly occurred while the air conditioning system was activated. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds and from a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated, jerked and responded upon depressing the accelerator pedal. The transmission warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while reversing. The contact stated that the failure had caused the vehicle to bump into nearby curbs while attempting to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the cause of the failure could not be determined; however, the dealer cleaned the throttle body. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer approximately 4 to 5 times. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

My car started to experience a surge condition while driving on the highway and a transmission service required is shown at the dashboard along with a code p084a that was scanned at the dealer. Now the dealer is telling me that I need a new transmission. I asked how come my car is not covered by the recall that Mitsubishi did for 2015 Outlander sport back in April of 2020, since the symptoms are the same as per the TSB-20-23-001 and they told me that, it goes only by the VIN #, and my car is not listed. Now they offered my a new transmission for almost $7k or a used one for $3. 5 k I just cannot afford to pay this amount of money, my car barely passed 100k (117k to be exact).

At 56k miles the tachometer would rev up to 5 while mainaining an even speed, then when going up hills there was no power. Very sudden issue no warning, then warning light service transmission required came on. Very frustrated - my first Mitsubishi and I want it gone. I've seen recalls for this year but my VIN says there are none.

My vehicle was part of a recall for transmission problems. I am being told it has no current open recalls and since I am the second owner I do not have a warranty. I'm currently having to replace the transmission on my 5 year old vehicle with only 43,000 miles for the exact same issues listed in the recall.

2015 Mitsubishi started sputterring while waiting for red light and hesitates when accelerating. Check engine came on. Looks like there are other similar complaints, but when I looked up the recall my vehicle is not included.

This 2015 Outlander sport was bought from a dealer at 42,000 miles, now it has 69,000 miles on it. The car would do jumps or jerks during low speed or getting up to speed about 30-45mph. The rpm jumps up and down while going 50-70mph on the highway. It is having the exact same problem as the Mitsubishi recall sr-16-006 stated back in 2016 for 2015-2016 Outlander sport. We took the car to a Mitsubishi dealer the next day. The dealer said that there is an internal failure with the transmission, code 084a, fluid pressure sensor performance. The dealer wants $7,700 to replace the transmission. Sadly, a second owner's powertrain warranty was expired at 60,000 miles. The car had had the cvt-ecu software updated back in 2016 through the Mitsubishi recall sr-16-006 when it was owned by the dealer. The dealer did not replace the transmission as they should have according to the recall. Thus here we are, the owners with cars that have the old transmissions with the problem that should have been fixed! Mitsubishi needs to make another recall for the transmission as soon as possible. It is very dangerous in the traffic to suddenly lose power to accelerate or when the car wants to shift to neutral and then back to drive by itself constantly! this is clearly a manufacturer safety defect, the car barely has 69,000 miles! we are a Mitsubishi family. We have a 2002 lancer that is currently at 200,000+ miles without any major repair! we also have a 2014 Outlander sport that is still running well at 60,500+ miles, and we're hoping for the best. It is very sad to be in this position. This video shows the problem the car is having: https://youtu. . Read more...

Transmisi�n slips , car studders during acceleration, very dangerous when trying to cross a street or entering highways. Very hard to control steering, engine makes a loud noise (as if you aceelerate and there is no power, high rpm noise).

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rpm revved up however, the vehicle failed to respond. The service transmission warning light was illuminated. After pulling over, the contact attempted to shift the vehicle into reverse however, the there was no response. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic but not diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted or informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 144,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall upon depressing the acceleration pedal without warning. The contact also stated that the vehicle would jerk intermittently while driving also without warning. Upon discovery, the contact discovered a technical service bulletin(tin-15-23-001) which he linked to his failure. The contact had to have the vehicle towed to york Mitsubishi 1301 roosevelt Ave, york, PA 17404 due to the dealer in his area no longer being in operation. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer and had yet to receive a diagnosis. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. Jo.

I bought my vehicle towards the end of October with less than 40000 miles and I keep encountering an acceleration issue and high engine rpm, the issues periodically 'resolve' them self only to come back a little further down the road, the issues I encounter aren't exactly the same but I think they are very closely related/connected to each other; accelerating from low speed (0-30): I tend to notice an acceleration problem around 0-30 mph where I have my foot on the gas pedal and the vehicle is moving and is accelerating, acceleration is very, very slow and it feels as though something in/on my vehicle is giving what I can only describe as 'resistance' to accelerate, the feeling is very weird and I have never felt anything quite like it and I lack the vocabulary to truly explain what the issue feels like but I do know for certain that something is wrong. High engine speeds during 0-~60 mph acceleration: when I need to accelerate to merge into traffic going 45-65 mph (accelerating from 0-30 mph range) my engine speed approaches 6000 rpm but never enters the red area behind the gauge, I often need to accelerate from the 0-30 mph range to 45-65 mph range to jump onto a highway or freeway and my engine speeds get much higher than anything I have ever experienced before. I suspect the automatic shifting mechanism is broken or is made poorly. I have brought my vehicle into a genuine Mitsubishi dealership and had them run a complete diagnostic, even a diagnostic on my transmission with everything coming back fine. I honestly don't even know what the issue is but I have documents verifying that nothing is wrong with my vehicle but no diagnosis, however I was told that my fluid was good for another year, the transmission might still be "learning' my driving style, and my vehicle has a brake 'priming' system that helps stop your vehicle in heavy traffic.

While driving on the highway, the transmission started to fail. This issues occurred overnight!.

This is the 4th time I will be replacing my transmission. It jerks and then fails. I cannot change shifts, it takes about a minute then it will move. I have complained to Mitsubishi and they told me there was a recall on the whole transmission, I also work at a dealer and know there is a recall. This time when I called and asked them to buy it back as a lemon, they are now telling me there has never been a recall on the transmission. I can keep replacing my transmission every 4k miles and risking my life if it fails on the freeway that I take everyday fr work.

My car had had 3 transmissions replaced I'm the past year. It will be going in for it's fourth transmission. It has 54,0000 miles on it. The car would t move and I almost got hit in the rear on a major highway in ohio.
