NHTSA complaint #10638179, filed 2014-09, 350 miles“I was driving on the highway and with no warning the vehicle lost pressure when pressing on the gas peddle to drive to maintain speed limit when driving the car. The transmission fluid was checked and there was the recommended level of transmission fluid. Mechanic stated error code p0868. Per mechanic/transmission specialist this is a known problem with Mitsubishi transmissions and they are only able to get the transmission from a dealer.

NHTSA complaint #11322793, filed 2020-04, 170,000 miles“Transmission has filled me twice now. The first time the transmission out was when the car is at approximately 42,000 miles. The first time it went out we were able to pull over safely, but it just gave out while going high speeds on the highway. The second time was luckily in my neighborhood where we were able to coast it back home. Both times not much warning was given. The first time was the one that put us and others at risk being on a road with 60+ speed limits.”
