I would that it's too early for my vehicle with 64900 miles already has an oil pan gasket that causes a leak to my vehicle every time I do oil change on time and also that I have a cooler hose of the transmission leaked and for the transmission to be in service every 60000 miles. So I filed a complaint against the manufacturer who is the cause for this model for the same year to have the same problem for having any leaks too early. So I need your help that the manufacturer should recall the same model from this year based on the mileage of the vehicle.

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.

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

The contact owns a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, but was unable to drive above 5 mph. The vehicle was towed to mark's casa Chrysler Jeep (located at 9733 coors blvd nw, albuquerque, nm 87114, (505) 897-8400), but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,727.

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.
