Vehicle hesitates intermittently when attempting to accelerate through intersection, entering on highway ect...causing risk of collision

My father purchased his 2015 Outlander sport in April 2015 with a total of 3 miles on it. Starting approx the end of July/beginning of August, the vehicle would "stutter" and shake upon acceleration. He promptly took it to the dealership of purchase where they told him it was a loose transmission cable and fixed it. Approx 1 week after being fixed, it began to stutter and shake again, but this time sounded like loud bangs and like the cv joint was coming apart. He took it to a different dealership and was told that the previous transmission cable fix was unsuccessful and that it was fixed "correctly this time". over the last week, the car is acting up again - and is getting worse over time. He has taken it back to the dealership and they have done nothing. They let it sit for several days without looking at it and dad finally picked it up without anything being done to it. He was even in contact with the Mitsubishi manufacturer. The vehicle is now shuddering on an almost constant basis with no explanation or help from the dealer/manufacturer and he has almost been in several accidents due to this.

To make a very long story short I was at a stop light and pressed the gas to go and my car went forward then it just stopped it seemed like it wasn't getting enough gas - I pressed the gas peddle frantically because I was in the middle of an intersection and almost got hit. It happened again in March - I finally got the dealership to take my car for a few days they put a recording device in it and drove it - they kept it for over 30 days and it finally did the same thing to the mechanic that was driving it - they took the recording information and sent it to the engineers at the manufacture and told me that it was the inhibitor switch - they replaced it on 4.21.15 and on 4.26.15 my car did the same thing again - this time the car that almost hit me pulled over I explained to him what was happening with my car - I got his name and # just in case. I filed a complaint with the BBB and with the attorney generals office - they called me and gave me the phone number to a lemon law lawyer who now is handling my case. My brand new car still isn't fixed - I have heard that there is another 2015 Outlander sport in Florida doing the same thing. I have looked on the manufacture's website to see if there was anyone else experiencing the same issue or if there were any recalls on my new car and found nothing. I'm so glad I came to this website and found out that there are more than just 2 new 2015 Outlander sports having the same issue. I talked to an old friend of mine who has been a mechanic for several years and he told me that it might be the map sensor- manifold absolute presser or the knock sensor.

The contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated the vehicle failed to accelerate from an idle position. When the vehicle resumed normal operation, it hesitated and jerked forward. The contact was taken to the dealer on two separate occasions. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 162.

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.

The SUV seems to miss or hesitate when slowing to make a turn. It feels like it sputters or sticks at times when accelerating or slowing down. It usually rides smooth when driving at a constant speed, but sort of jerks when acceleration changes. I wanted to know if there were any recalls because I want to be sure the problem won't create a driving hazard.
