“When driving the Mitsubishi it accelerates on it's own an jerks then slows down vehicle hesitates to accelerate pass 20 miles per hour at first then it speeds revving up I don't want to get hit from behind an I don't want to rear end anyone vice versa. The steering wheel feels loose an light weight.

NHTSA complaint #11365499, filed 2020-10, 89,321 miles“I never received the letter concerning the acceleration problem with my car. I know this has been occurring with my auto but thought it was normal!! Also, the lowbeam on the headlights is too low!! I have to drive on highbeam to see the road!!”
NHTSA complaint #10971511, filed 2017-04, 6,000 miles“I have noticed in the last 3 months vehicle hesitation, I will be stopped at a light and my car will jump forward. I've also been on the highway and have had it rev up and jump forward. I've taken it to the dealership probably about 6 times now and they always tell me there is nothing wrong and I must be imagining it. Seriously with all the other people experiencing the same thing I'm not imagining it. This is a 2015 shouldn't be having this issue.”

When this happened the car stopped accelerating and started revving up. I turned the hazard on and pulled off onto the side of a busy highway. I tried to accelerate again and the engine reved again. I turned the car off and started it again the transmission light went off. …”
