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

The contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate, loss motive power, and stalled without warning. On another occasion, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated with the transmission warning light illuminated intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

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.

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

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.

I was told my entire transmission was under recall but mittsubishi of orange park in jacksonville Florida and that it needed to be replaced. I am now being told that they will not fix because I am 2nd owner and because of milage. I have put about 80000 miles on K. original owner put 43000 miles on car. I was unaware that there were any recalls on vehicle when I purchased it and would not have if had known. As well as that I received no notification from mittsubishi in my 3 years of owning vehicle to bring vehicle to repair recalls. Vehicle will suddunley stop in traffic will not accelarate or just turns off in the middle of turning.

I was driving on a highway when the transmission started feeling like it was slipping. I pulled over checked all the fluids and everything was fine. I was miles from the nearest town. So I started driving again and 2 miles down the road the transmission light came on. When this happened the car stopped accelerating and started revving up. I turned the hazard on and pulled off onto the side of a busy highway. I tried to accelerate again and the engine reved again. I turned the car off and started it again the transmission light went off. I put the car in reverse and was able to back up to get further over off the road. I tried to put it in drive and the car wouldn't move but the light remained off. I called a tow truck and had to have it towed to a safe location. I took it to a dealer ship and they claimed it was the cvt and it was internal. I would have to have to whole unit replaced. They quoted me around 7,000. My brother-in-law called to get more info and they quoted him around 4,000. There are 108,000 miles on my 2015. So it's over warranty and I felt like they were trying to rip me off. I have seen similar recalls for this type of thing happening. I am concerned for the safety of myself and others with this happening out of nowhere.

Intermittent rough idle and fluctuating RPM.. afraid vehicle will accelerate by its self may cause accident waiting at a stop sign or red light

- San Diego, CA, USA

Vehicle will not accelerate although stepping on gas pedal. Vehicle shudders and seems to want to turn off. Once the vehicles gets to about 25 mph, it accelerates with no problem. I have been dealing with this problem since vehicle was purchased. I have made several complaints to the manufacturer but nothing seems to get resolved. Vehicle was also taken in for a recall regarding this matter but that did not resolve the problem.

- Cotulla, TX, USA

At only 76,000 miles, my vehicle started to shudder when going anywhere from 10 mph-40 mph. This started when I was on a city street but continued on the highway. There is a lag in acceleration when going from neutral to drive. My transmission service light and check engine light went on so, I took the car in to a Mitsubishi dealership and they notified me that after the diagnostic test and test driving it, they simply had to reset the sensor. After leaving the dealership, the transmission service light went on and my car was still shuddering when trying to accelerate. After getting a transmission service, which is what I was advised to do by the Mitsubishi mechanics, the problem still persisted. I bought this car used from the dealership with only 40,000 miles. At 76,000 there should not be any major transmission or engine issues. I am now unable to drive my car in fear that I will end up in a car accident.

I never received the letter concerning the acceleration problem with my car. I know this has been occurring with my auto but thought it was normal!! also, the lowbeam on the headlights is too low!! I have to drive on highbeam to see the road!!

My car hesitates to accelerate after slowing down or when I try to accelerate after stopping. Mycar will jump for one second or so, then totally fails to accelerate. The engine will stay queit for couple second even if I step on the gas as hard as I can. Then after several seconds, my RPM wil jump to around 5000rpm without any sign. There were several close calls for me in the past few month. When I just entered a roundabout, the issue occured and my car won't accelerate. I almost got rearened by other cars that were already in the roundabout. I got the recall notice months ago, and I went to the dealership to fix the problem. I was told there is a problem in the programming, and I should be all set after they updated my car's system. However, I have been experiencing the issue in past couple months. The problems happened when I tried to accelerate at low speed (20mph), after stopping at a stop sign, or driving into a roundabout. The issue is dangerous and can cause severe damage to the people on the car and other cars that are on the road at the same time. I am having immense presure whenever I stopped at a stop sign or when I try to turn into a road or roundabout. I strongly encourage NHTSA to take actions and ask the manufacturer to completely fix the problem!

- West Chesterfield, NH, USA

I have noticed in the last 3 months vehicle hesitation, I will be stopped at a light and my car will jump forward. I've also been on the highway and have had it rev up and jump forward. I've taken it to the dealership probably about 6 times now and they always tell me there is nothing wrong and I must be imagining it. Seriously with all the other people experiencing the same thing I'm not imagining it. This is a 2015 shouldn't be having this issue.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

When trying to pull away from stop vehicle just stops engine still running it just wont go. Vehicle was taken in for the computer flash seemed to help but then started doing it again. This is dangerous can easily be rearended. It has happened when turning or straight but always after stopping then pulling away from stop. Bought vehicle with just over 2000 miles we suspect the prior owner had same problem.

My 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport hesitates after coming to a stop and attempting to accelerate again. I'd have to push the gas again to go. A slight jerk feel. I bought it in June 2015 brand new and it's done this since August. I mostly drive highway so to feel this when ya coming into a town has me concerned. There is something definitely wrong with the transmission. It scares me sometimes. I was told my car might need to be realigned but all these cars with the same issue? please check on this!

Purchased vehicle brand new and have been experiencing jerking and hesitation during acceleration. When stopped at a light, vehicle doesn't move with when trying to accelerate and then suddenly jerks off. Took the vehicle back to two different Mitsubishi dealerships, including the one of purchase, and they are finding no codes or issues wrong.
