general problems of the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander

1. On hot/warm days when I start my vehicle it will run then die and give me the code for mass air sensor which I replaced but it keeps doing it; the check engine will stay on for a while then turn off until it does it again. 2. When driving and I go over a speed bump the suspension grinds or does a hard squeaking noise. 3. The usb in the center console stops working at times or when move the charging cord it disconnects for a few seconds. 4. Internal lights work when they want to, I thought the bulbs where burnt out and replaced them but they still come on when they want to not everytime a door is opened.

Camshaft phaser shattered and is missing a chunk of metal.

Car will drive on interstate then will be unable to accelerate on interstate warning, “propulsion power reduced” light turns on and vehicle speed decreases and car does not accelerates and loses speed. I had to stop vehicle multiple times to reset the car per advice on the internet but car continues with drastic decrease in speed on the interstate and message “propulsion power reduced. ” car is serviced as per car dealership recommendations but now car is not safe to drive on the interstate.

Vehicle has a permanent engine code poo11 vvt intake.

I believe they said it was the cam broke a part . I was driving on a 4 lane highway going 70 my car made a horrible noise and then my car it just shut down I was in the middle lane and thank god I was not hurt or hit by the semis going around me . Then tried to order this part and cannot get it it's on backorder and they have no idea when it would be available and so they checked the motor and I now have to replace the motor because of this breaking this was definitely a safety issue with my car just shutting down while driving it.

This is a safety issue and very concerning. The car is 2018 Outlander ES and have 34k miles.
