I was on the freeway and all of the sudden the transmission stopped working and I was unable to get to the side of the road safely do to loss of power and traffic conditions. There was transmission warning light that came on and right after that when I pressed on the acceleration the engine would rev, but there was no reaction to the gears. This resulted in me being stuck in an active lane of traffic and nearly being hit several times. I called the police and informed them because I didn-€™t want to cause an accident but do to another accident I was stranded for 50 minutes in the active lane of traffic. Apparently this is a known issue with this transmission but the manufacturer is not responding and issued a recall like it needs to. Something like this could get someone seriously injured or killed! I-€™m lucky no one was injured in my situation but on a very busy freeway something like this could cause a huge pile up if a car all of the sudden is just stopped in the middle of the road. Who knows how many people could be hurt or die in a situation like that happening.

The contact owns a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated that a message displayed, indicating that the transmission was getting hot and to slow down. The contact was driving in stop and go traffic in hot weather at the time of the message. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission pump failed. The mechanic checked all over the nation and could not find a used transmission because of the recall issues. Fuccillo Mitsubishi (18822 us-11, watertown, NY 13601, (800) 244-1745) stated that the warranty was expired and the repair would cost more than $8,000. The manufacturer was contacted and rudely stated that they were not going to issue a recall just for the contact's vehicle and it was out of warranty. The failure mileage was 106,500.

Took vehicle in to dealer due to a vibration coming from transmission, and also, my vehicle would be sluggish when it warmed up. Most concerning, was when slowing at an intersection to turn, and then pressing the gas to accelerate, the vehicle would be hesitant. This almost resulted in a car accident. Based on other reviewers, I find this to be a concern for more than just myself. I had to purchase a brand new transmission at $7,100. Total miles is 56,000. When on the highway, and attempting to accelerate. The rpms would shoot up, but the transmission felt like it would not shift gears. I had trouble at times speeding up on the highway. This could have also resulted in a bad accident.

When I am accelerating, pushing the gas pedal the rpms go down significantly then riser significantly. Now there is a deep rumble or vibration if I go above 50 and the check engine light is on. I live in flat terrain with occasional hills but drive mostly highways.

I'm not sure if it is in the motor or transmission of my SUV. What happens is when I am driving on the highway I push down on the accelerator and its as though my car is standing still then a few seconds later the accelerate starts to work and move the car, this has happened a few times and I have almost been hit from behind because of this. I no longer drive my car on the highways because I'm terrified that this will happen again while on the highway and I will be crashed or even killed due to what ever is going on with my car

When I push on gas, the car never shifts gears! I can start out slowly with a little gas peddle pressure, but when trying to get up to speed and merge with traffic, it will never shift into a higher gear! it stays at about 20mph and engine revs to red zone unless I lift off gas. I don't even get gas peddle half way down. Transmission roars, car doesn't go, and I can't go forward but at a slow crawl unless I pull over, let off gas completely so car can settle, then try again. It won't shift in AWD or 4WD and I old lady, I don't troomp N rocket. I just want to get up to 55mph within 1 mile without sending my engine into dragonflies and half a tank of gas gone! I asked dealer and he blew it off as a slow startingvehicle, but it's getting worse and tyranny not shifting right. Have to find a Mitsubishi service center.

Upon starting the vehicle and taking off with the shifter engaged in automatic, the car quickly engages the first gear but as I depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate, it feels and sounds like the engine is about to stall out and the vehicle slows back down as if hesitating and malfunctioning, then it very slowly over about a 20-30 second lull will begin to pick up speed at an incredibly slow and dangerous speed. I have tried making right turns and left yield turns only to find that I cannot move fast enough out of another vehicles path in a safe time and that it is too difficult to try and presume how long it will take to cross a street as the acceleration of the vehicle is unpredictable every time. I have to constantly drive with the shifter in manual to override this problem. This has almost caused me several accidents before I was able to decipher the safer manual position it acceleration of the vehicle.
