2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Engine Problems

“I noticed just recently when I was on a long distance road trip that my transmission overheating light was coming on? I had to pull over a couple times and let it cool down before I could continue... It is very dangerous and no one at Mitsubishi or other shops knows whats wrong? Please help”

“I was driving along on a normal city street and all of the sudden every indicator light began to come on...first the battery charging system, next the engine overheat warning, the ABS, the brake, the power steering, the air bag, etc. I began to lose power, idle roughly, and eventually die completely.

“Engine light came on steady with the engine bucking, surging, losing r.p.m.'s while driving and stalling after coming to a full stop. *two (2) o2 sensors were replaced, computer re-programed, one (1) of the two (2) sensors replaced again, with a final repair to a suspected air leak which finally,after 3-4 weeks, cleared the light from coming back on. Now, one month later the bucking and surging is becoming more and more frequent. I'm $1,000.00 into this problem and it still isn't resolved!! …”

“I know this car has four recalls on it. But I'm having issues with what it feels like to be the transmission. I have been googling slow or sluggish acceleration issues and other people have been having the same problem. Then I came across a recall for the Outlander Sport involving the CVT in newer models. I don't know if those CVT issues are the same ones my car is having. But is becoming a pain in the butt to try and accelerate fast enough on the road or the highway to get out of peoples way or to move just noticing people going around me because of my sluggish acceleration. …”
