“I have a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport I brought brand new off the lot. In the summer of 2019, the remove key light would come on after my key was removed from the ignition. .on 12/19/19, my car would not turn over to start and the remove key light stayed on. I had car towed to the dealer. Dealer said key cylinder needed to be replaced and my battery was dead. I replaced the battery and told them this was the 4th battery I have had to replace with this car. I bought new battery and dealer ordered part. The key cylinder part came in and was replaced on 01/09/20. …”
NHTSA complaint #11301129, filed 2020-01, 33,400 miles“I just bought my first brand new car june 6, 2015. I have only made 1 car payment and on 7/23/15 I go to get in my car and it will not start had several messages on the dash so looked in the manual and it said call dealership and I did. After calling them 5 times in a row the owner answered and I explained what the car was reading and that it wouldn't start so he said him and a mechanic would be there in a minute. I only work 5 mins.away. They arrived and said they had never seen that displayed before. …”
NHTSA complaint #10748287, filed 2015-08, 982 miles“My stepdaughter drove to work monday (8/9/16) and could not remove her key, switch only went back to acc position. I arrived and looked it over, started motor, shifted into reverse, then back to park, cut off switch and turned all way to off position this time. Sounds like issue with ignition lock cylinder. It's a 2015 with less than 10k miles. She took it to dealer who basically accused her of spilling liquid down into shifter, however once they say condition of car knew this wasn't case. Told her they will repair it a week from yesterday. …”
NHTSA complaint #10894269, filed 2016-08, 8,400 miles“Driver side front power window makes the entire door panel make noise anytime it is rolled up. Have taken it into the dealer multiple times for issues, it only remains fixed for a few cycles of the window. It's like a creaking plasticy noise, none of the other windows do this. Severely annoying on something so new with less than 7k miles, and embarrassing with customers in vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10939063, filed 2017-01, 500 miles“Transmisin slips , car studders during acceleration, very dangerous when trying to cross a street or entering highways. Very hard to control steering, engine makes a loud noise (as if you aceelerate and there is no power, high RPM noise)”
