I-€™ve changed the battery at least once or twice within the first 2 years of purchasing the vehicle from the dealer with zero miles on it. Lately (in the past 2 months) I-€™ve changed the battery at least four times or more. Some expensive batteries as well. In the past 2 months, it-€™s been giving me problems including stalling on me, slowing down on the highway, sometimes won-€™t start at all, sometimes it-€™ll say electrical system service required. Once it said four-wheel drive system service required on the highway as it slew down and I had to pull aside. I-€™ve noticed some recalls on the vehicle via internet research. It may not be specific to my vehicle, but it does seem very familiar problems with my vehicle. Such as Electrical system: Starter assembly: Relay, Electronic stability control, Electrical system: Software and even with the transmission. I-€™ve towed the vehicle to the Mitsubishi dealer in Totowa, NJ today. I was informed that my specific vehicle doesn-€™t any recalls. Service advisor did say there are other similar vehicles did have those recalls but mine didn-€™t come up on the recall.

When accelerating from a stop or from a slower entrance speed to a highway and after getting up to speed the engine will continue to rev at higher RPM until I am off the throttle completely. Then after reapplying the transmission seems to shift down. No matter how light or steady the throttle, even barely touching throttle at all, it seems to stay in "passing gear". this has the cvt tranmission and it has never done this until the last servicing of fluid change in the diffs/tranny. Currently have 77K miles. Last service was at 2K. I plan to take it to dealer for next oil change and have it looked

I bought my wife a new 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander sport ES for our anniversary on 1/24/2017. The doesn't even have 5K mls on it. Recently on 9/5/17 the car started to act weird. From a stop to go the car would not drive normal. It has a slow get up to catch speed. It drives like 10mph for a wile and then sometimes goes back to normal. She has to turn the ignition from on to off so the car kind of goes back to driving normally again.
