general problems of the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander

On the freeway transmission failure service light came on and the cars acceleration geared, had to immediately pull over on the side of the freeway, restarted the car with emergency lights to get out of the freeway. Vehicle would not accelerate much and the rpm was switching fast up and down. Check engine light came on the next day and the diagnosis read catalytic converter needs replacement. Car does not accelerate on hills, its shifts and tugs on a regular road.

Transmission light frequently comes on, car stalls/sluggish to respond. Has occurred while driving or at rest. No change despite several transmission servicing/towing expenses. Per online research, others experiencing same issues. Often resolves temporarily by turning off engine and restarting car. Recalls issued for other Mitsubishi models, but not for this car. Needs to be addressed to prevent injury or loss of life.

Unknown. The transmission service light comes on and the vehicle drags until you turn the car off and restart it. I noticed online there's a cvt transmission recall and was wondering if this is what is happening to my vehicle.

I have a cvt system on my SUV and the transmission keeps slipping. A transmission light comes on and the car starts to stall. It happens mostly in stop and go traffic.

On 10/10/23, my boyfriend was driving the listed vehicle home. He had it in cruise control, note vehicle does not have adaptive cruise. Suddenly the vehicle started speeding up and redlining the rpm's, he tried pressing the brakes and it did nothing. He finally was able to put it in neutral and get it to stop. Upon stopping. He tried shutting the vehicle off with the push button, but it would not shut off at first. Finally after several attempts he got it to shut off but noticed the vehicle trying to run other systems on its own while it's supposedly off.

I was driving down the highway with my son in the car and it started jerking and the reving up to high rpms. I decided to get off the highway where my car would not go over 40mphs and still reving. Took to a family mechanic who said to take it to the dealership for transmission problems.

Car go's fast and take off at a hi speed' transmission slips out of gear; and stops' and can't get to go' stop at light car rolls a head' jumps to go and stops and go's slow' and jump's to go.

When driving my 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander se down the highway last week my car began to make a shudder like feeling when I stepped on the gas. When attempting to accelerate my car my rpms jumped and then dropped significantly making the car shake and not accelerate and instead the speed declined. I was on the highway driving and feel very fortunate that no one was behind me when my car jerked causing them to possibly rear end me and I am glad that my car did not jolt forward hitting the person in-front of me but it was a very real possibility. My car is around 98,000 miles and has had every oil change and maintenance it has needed on time and I am the second owner of this car. No check engine light or anything came on while my car was practically breaking down on the highway and there was no warning. The next day the check engine light came on for about 10 mins and then cleared itself even though the car was continuing to shake and drop and rev rpms. I took my car to an automotive place and they told me I would need to have a new transmission put in the car and he thought I had very low miles to be having this issue and because the engine light was no longer on he test drove the car and confirmed and ran the error code in the history. After some research I noticed that there was a recall in 2016 for the transmission of my car 16v563000 stating that there is a delay in the transmission and the consequence could cause a crash and to fix the problem "software needed to be upgraded" I asked north America Mitsubishi for a report of the specific work done to the transmission to provide to my mechanic. They stated they cant do that and I don't need it and can get my transmission done at Mitsubishi where they can see the previous work done for the recall. There is a technical service bulletin for this issue its so common, I am 1 year over the 5 yr warranty and they say I have to pay for a new transmission. I was told theres no recall and nothing they can do.

I was assured that the vehicle was safe and reliable. As a precaution I purchased an extended power train warranty for $2,325. After my purchase the dealership sent emails reminding me to complete basic services such as oil change and tire rotation without any mention of transmission fluid exchange. Fast forward to January 2022 I was riding on the interstate and the transmission light flashed quickly. The vehicle stalled on the highway and I barely had time pull over and avoid being hit by other drivers. At that moment I knew something was terribly wrong with my vehicle. I had the car towed to heritage Mitsubishi in morrow, GA. Around January 25th a service advisor from the heritage dealership informed me that the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander that I owe almost $16,000 on needs a new transmission which would in total cost $8800. I was totally shocked and when I asked why the advisor said that the cvt transmission is expensive and the person who sold you the car should have told you to change transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. I was in shock because I had never worried about transmission issues with any other vehicles. As of now the engine light is on and I still don't feel safe driving this vehicle.

My 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander se, is having hesitation when accelerating. This vehicle's VIN number was not included in this safety issue. Conseq: a hesitation during acceleration can increase the risk of the crash. Problem is with the cvt - euc transmission.

I was at a stop sign turning onto a highway, I accelerated and my car was moved into the middle of the road and my car turned off and then turned back on just a second or so later and I was able to drive again. I am not certain what happened as there were no codes thrown and the car continued to operate after turning itself back on. I am wondering if there is something in the computer programming that is faulty. When I got home, I checked all the connections and did not see any obvious faults. I also checked all fluid levels and caps just to be certain it wasn't something related to any of that somehow. It is scary though because there were vehicles coming toward me from both directions.

Key for doors does not unlock with the key. Original owner never used key to unlock. They said there is no recalls. This is a danger when you cannot get in car with out remote.

The car throttles when accelerating from slow speeds. There has been 6 recalls on the car which such an unfortunate thing . I am getting a denial from northstar Mitsubishi that this was a recall issue.

On September 2019 around 10:45 pm, Mitsubishi Outlander sport 2016 was the cause of garage fire at my house. The fire started in the engine /battery area after I had tried to give a jump start a day before but the car did not start. Fire was mostly contained under the hood. Since 2016, the car was mostly garaged and sparingly driven and had very very low miles not enough to get first service if I recall correctly. The interior still smells fresh car. I had registered the car with dmv as non operative status and did not renew my insurance as I was not driving the vehicle for quite some time. Even when I drove couple of time, Mitsubishi smelled like rotten eggs especially when I would start or park after a short drive. I asked the local dealer and was not told to ignore it. I have few documents from dmv, insurance and photos that I will attach. I need to be totally reimbursed for the price of the car. I do have few loan payment receipts , if needed to prove. After the fire, neither home nor auto insurance will cover the damage of the car. The burnt car is sitting in my driveway. Please help ASAP.

Hesitations during acceleration, engine stalls, electrical doesnt work proberly like usb.

The shifter assembly came apart after I shifted from park to drive. Plastic pieces and indicator covers popped out through the center console and were visible. While I was driving the bunched up plastic pieces would cause my vehicle to go into neutral, and I would have to hold my shifter in drive to prevent it from slipping back into neutral.

On a constant basis when I'm driving my vehicle I have to continuously release my foot off the gas pedal for it to attempt to shift into the next gear otherwise it continues to rev up the rpms higher and higher on it's own and it's an automatic transmission. When driving up hill on the highway I literally have to punch the gas pedal or have it fully depressed down to the floor to get the vehicle to have any acceleration to make it up the hill and it still looses any power momentum you give it. I have taken my vehicle twice to the dealership for a. C. Issues first the system became clogged and started to leak inside my vehicle. Now it's blowing hot air on the max cold setting. I have repetitively taken my vehicle in after now 4 recalls for totally different issues and have told them of my issues and keep getting dismissed and told that it's nothing. I reach out to Mitsubishi and get told someone will contact me and get no response. I honestly have experienced more but can't think off the top of my head other than I also had to replace my windshield within the first year of owning it from a small chip. I honestly do not feel safe behind the wheel of my vehicle especially being an employee working at a level 1 trauma hospital and have to respond efficiently at times but do t feel that I can without feeling like I am putting both myself and other drivers around me at risk when my car sometimes feels like it won't do what it should. Being I bought this car off the dealership lot brand new for nearly $30k, I don't feel Mitsubishi has owned up making this car ready for the road.
