Summary

THE 2017 HAS THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED 2015 AND 2016 MODELS. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND ITS NOW HESITATING ON ACCELERATION - A CLASSIC SIGN OF CVT FAILURE. MITSUBISHI MECHANIC ADVISES ME TO PAY 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS AS ITS OUT OF WARRANTY (124K MILES) I CONTEND THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THE PRIOR YEARS MODELS ARE.

Summary

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE TRAVELLING WITH MY FAMILY WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNING THE NEW CAR (2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER). THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE PLACE OF PURCHASE, A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP, TO REPLACE THE BULBS WHICH AGAIN WENT OUT WITHIN 7 MONTHS. NEXT, THE BULBS WERE REPLACED AT THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP ONLY TO LOSE THEM AGAIN ON VEHICLE STARTUP 12 - 13 MONTHS LATER. I WAS LEFT WITH NO LIGHTS IN THE DARK AND SUBJECT TO GETTING TO AN AREA OF SAFETY WITH FAMILY IN THE CAR. I AM DILIGENT WITH PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE & REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS AN ISOLATED CONDITION WITH THE OEM BULBS AS THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL IN THE SAME MOMENT.

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 AT

EVENTUALLY THEY REPLACED THE AC ASSEMBLY. HOWEVER, IT STILL MAKES THE RATTLING NOISE FROM THE AREA THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2017. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

THE VEHICLE WON'T START. BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING, I HAVE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH A CHARGER EACH TIME. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL THAT CONTINUOUSLY IS DRYING THE BATTERY. HAD IT CHECKED A YEAR AGO WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD OPT TO HAVE THEM INSTALL IN A TRICKLE CHARGER TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, OF COURSE AT MY EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 8,000 MILES PRESENTLY. WHEN PURCHASED NEW IT HAD 300 MILES. NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, IF THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DRAIN I FEEL IT HAS AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT NOT JUST A BATTERY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO.

Summary

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR (BOUGHT IT MARCH OF 2018 WITH ONLY 12,046 MILES). SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES ON THE DRIVER SIDE (WHICH IS CURRENTLY BLOWN NOW, WHICH WILL MAKE A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES ONCE I REPLACE IT). ONCE I REPLACE THE BULB ONE SIDE, THE BULB GOES OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE ABOUT A WEEK LATER. A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE THOUGHT A BULB WOULD GO OUT, AND IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. I WAS ADVISED THAT MAYBE IT WAS CONDENSATION, BUT THERE IS NO CONDENSATION. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING, MY RADIO CONSOLE TURNS OFF AND RESTARTS AS IF I AM JUST STARTING THE VEHICLE UP. AROUND THE TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, A HEADLIGHT BULB USUALLY BLOWS OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI, WHICH I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HEARD OF THIS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT UNDER MY OWN RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS WHERE OWNERS OF OUTLANDERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES.

I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM THE DEALER WITH 6,000 MILES ON IT. JULY OF 2018 THE LEFT REAR CALIPER FAILED AND DAMAGED THE ROTOR. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THE ROTOR, BRAKE PADS AND CALIPER WERE REPLACED. ON APRIL 15, 2019 I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO DEALER SERVICE THIS TIME IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER THAT FAILED AND DAMAGED THE ROTOR. THE DEALER THEN CHANGED THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER ROTOR AND BRAKE PADS. WHEN CHANGING THE PADS ON THE LEFT SIDE THEY FOUND THE LEFT SIDE NOW LEAKING. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER SERVICE FROM APRIL 15TH- MAY 3RD. THEY TOLD ME THE CALIPERS WERE ON BACK ORDER. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE CALIPERS? SHOULD THERE BE A RECALL ON THESE DEFECTIVE CALIPERS? I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND A GRINDING SOUND CAME FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR.

I HAVE RECALL SR-17-005 OF CERTAIN OUTLANDERS AND LANCERS THAT I LOCATED ONLINE. UNDER THE NHTSA WEBSITE MY VIN IS NOT UNDER RECALL, HOWEVER THE RELAY IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME WAS WRONG AND REPAIRED. THE EXPERIENCES AND DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS MATCH RECALL ACCORDINGLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN YESTERDAY 04/22/19 AND I WILL AGAIN BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP.
