general problems of the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander - part 1

Transmission went out.

In less than one year with this car, 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander sport, is hesitating when accelerating then jerking forward into 4th gear, while driving at various speeds, the steering column vibrates makes loud sound, I’ve replaced the headlights at least 6x, water is getting in the vehicle somehow even a car wish will leave the floorboards soaking wet, the steering sways. This car had given me more issues in a year than all my cars throughout my lifetime combined and vehicle's VIN number was not included in many safety recalls. Can increase the risk of the crash.

Cvt transmission is slipping really bad and tps not working .

I bought a Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 and just in couple of month the car doesn’t want to engage on the transmission , the SUV doesn’t go forward or backwards, it sound like the engine tend to try but the car doesn’t move.

Delay in the accelerating pedal and hesitation, transmission will chande gear abnormal. Ac went out at same time.

I was driving home from work when the car started to violently shudder. I took my foot off the accelerator and it stopped, only to happen again when I resumed pressing the gas. This also causes the car to suddenly slow down somewhat dramatically. The tachometer also "bounces". I purchased this vehicle used and drove it for 6 or 7 months with no issues before this happened. I took I to a local mechanic who immediately identified it as the transmission. A check engine light came on and intermittently goes out and back on. This happened after the shuddering started. The problem is easily repeated just by simply driving the car. It has not been inspected by anyone other than the mechanic I took it to.

Transmission control module shifting goes into limp mode and doesn't allow acceleration until the car is turned off and back on there are other years of my vehicle where this is an active recall. The transmission service required light comes on codes are as follows po776 c1560 u0114 u0100.

While traveling on the highway, as I accelerated, my vehicle began to shutter as if it was about to stall. Then the d on the display panel began flashing and a message concerning the transmission was displayed. As I increased my speed the more the car shuttered. I researched and found that this has been an issue with this make and model of this vehicle. After calling a Mitsubishi dealership, I was informed that my vehicle has had this problem fixed. They require a couple hundred dollars to look at it but it sounds like they have already made up their mind that it is not under recall.

My wife and I were at the beach when the truck started jerking really bad. I knew from the motion that transmission was locking up. We stayed 2 nights until we tried to make it home and it would slip in and out of gear. Transmission maintenance light came on and once we made a complete stop. It acted as it didn’t want to move then would take off like a rocket. I’ve seen several models have recall on this issue but not my VIN which I find very strange.

I think the problem it’s on the transmission as the car is presenting hesitation and shuddering when accelerating, also it’s presenting rev fluctuations when driving at a constant speed, fortunately my safety and the safety of others is good until now. Yes the problem has being confirmed, no the vehicle has not being inspected by by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, there wasn’t any indication or warnings prior to the failure.

I bought the vehicle in November 2022 with 88000 miles. I started to feel a noise that seemed to be the transmission about 4 days later, a tap when doing the 2nd gear and then it felt irregular the following gears. Stopping and going felt like he was forcing himself to make 2nd gear. Due to this problem, it takes a long time to cross an intersection which could cause an accident. I took it to a mechanical workshop where they put the scanner on it and it showed several errors, when the mechanic tested the vehicle it was when the engine indicator light came on,.

This vehicle is dangerous and going to kill someone. I owned it 4 months and had to have it taken to 3 different dealerships 7 times in 6 weeks because it would die without warning while driving. It left me stranded in 2 different states and I was told every time nothing could be found as to why this would happen. However, there were several codes that came up that lead me and my mechanic to believe the transmission was failing. The dealerships did not want to fix it under my warranty so they told me nothing was wrong. I believe they also did this so that when I inevitably got them to take it back, they would have no paper trail of horrific problems to have to disclose when reselling it. I had to fight to get a new car and I was told this car would be sold wholesale and the issues would be disclosed. They were not. The dealer who bought it had no idea. Upon reaching out to them, they have made the decision to return it to the wholesale company they got it from. If nothing can be done from the NHTSA side, I will continue to track the VIN and tell everyone what has occurred until that car is disposed of. Please, I implore you to get ahold of this car and scrap it completely. Someone will die if this car continues being sold as nothing was fixed and nothing was disclosed about the issues with it. Get this car off the streets. It is not safe to drive.

Transmission not shifting properly make the car disengage while driving.

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.

While driving on the highway the vehicle started jumping rpm and jerking violently. The rpm would rise and then dramatically fall with a clunking sound coming from cvt transmission. Problem persisted at slower speed with slightly less severity. After tech review, it was determined cvt belt was slipping and transmission prematurely failed at 42k miles. Being the second owner, vehicle is out of warranty and I was quoted $8k for a new cvt.

Failure to accelerate and causing safety issues at 59000 miles. Would be under warranty, but not covered since I am 2nd owner. This same issue recalled in other 2016 Mitsubishi Outlanders but this VIN not showing up, but is same issue and mechanics all know it's faulty cvt and they want $9000 to repair but know it's faulty. . I need help.

Car throws itself forward, stalls out on highway.

I have a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander sport that was purchased in 2020 with 42 thousand miles on it. While I was on the highway I started experiencing acceleration hesitation and my car gave a message saying transmission service needed. I took my car to several mechanics that said my transmission is slipping and getting ready to die. They mentioned cvt issue. I contacted Mitsubishi but they told me according to my VIN my car is not under a recall. However, my mechanics informed me along with several reports that 2015-2016 Outlander sports and certain model lancers were recalled due to acceleration hesitation. When I asked what that meant in plain english I was told my transmission is bad and that’s what causes acceleration hesitation. Then Mitsubishi told me that my car would have to have been manufactured within a certain year in order for the recall to be valid for my vehicle. I was never informed of a recall and didn’t know something was wrong until I was in the middle of the highway with my son in the car. We could have been killed. The transmission in these vehicles are no good and I don’t care about a VIN my vehicle is the year make and model that was recalled. A manufacturing issue is not my issue. I want my vehicle properly repaired. It’s practically new. I have also reached out to my attorney.

The transmission is not working properly. It has a hesitation and causes car to lunge forward.

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.

The secret to easily protecting your gutters here's the secret to automatically protect your gutters without hassle: innovative gutter guards! let us protect your stacey dodier 1 message in 2019 I purchased a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander from Mitsubishi dealership in lagrange, GA. 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.

The vehicle was towed to local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure was like NHTSA campaign number: 16v563000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Engine rev'd high and low without affecting speed of vehicle. Vehicle lost acceleration and came to a stop. Restarting the vehicle allowed some movement but the problem persisted. Dealership checking the vehicle said the transmission needed to be replaced at a cost of $9,700.

My 2016 Outlander started having a burning plastic smell. I made a trip back home and thankfully made it safely because I started having issues with accelerating. I would push the gas gently and barely go but my car would rev up to 4-5 rpms. I could put my foot to the floor and it wouldn't speed up at all. After checking the transmission fluid and seeing it was on the lower side we added a little more in hopes it would help but it did not. I was low on gas after my trip so I drove to the closet store so it wouldn't be sitting with no gas and at this point the transmission service required warning came up. It started revving up even worse with the slightest touch of the gas and I could barley get it to back out of a spot or take off from a stop sign. We were trying to get it to a neutral location that we knew it would be safe and while drinking it there it started jumping and the check engine light came on. I had it towed to a repair shop who verified it is a transmission issue but said they recommend a dealer fix only. My car is a 2016, had 1 previous owner and only has 58347 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated while she was at a stop light, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle would not shift from first gear. The warning message "transmission requires service. " appeared on the instrument panel. The contact stated she continued to depress the accelerator pedal until the vehicle switched gears. The contact stated she was able to drive the vehicle, however the failure reoccurred while at a stop light. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle in to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Failure to accelerate when engaging gas pedal. Exact same issue that the 2016 Mitsubishi sport recalls are having with thr cvt transmissions. The 2016 Outlander that we have also has a cvt transmission and is experiencing the same delay issues as previous cvt transmission recalls. We were almost in a wreck, with our children in the vehicle after making a turn onto a busy highway and then were unable to accelerate to get out of the way. The vehicle thinks the transmission is in neutral while it is in drive.

Vehicle exhibits a shudder/surge condition (engine flare, lack of acceleration, and/or car shake) possibly caused by poor reaction of the hydraulic pressure circuit. The cvt belt slips repeatedly when accelerating, causing a warning light to turn on with dtc p084a. The vehicle exhibits exactly the conditions described in TSB-20-23-001 and is explicitly included in the affected vehicles section the bulletin (2015-2020 Outlander sport with 2. 0l engine with cvt transmission). The conditions were confirmed using diagnostic procedure 2 on TSB-20-23-001 by certified mechanic at meineke car care center (lexington, SC). However, VIN was not included in the recall as confirmed by mmna service representatives. The scope of TSB-20-23-001 does not sufficiently cover all vehicles affected by the recall condition, as Mitsubishi excluded some vehicles for undisclosed reasons. Because Mitsubishi had previously failed to trace and identify all affected vehicles in its initial recall for this unsafe condition in TSB-17-23-002, it is possible or likely that Mitsubishi failed to trace or identify all affected vehicles in TSB-20-23-001. The scope should be expanded to all vehicles with cvt transmissions in the model years listed in the bulletin, without exception.
