2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Engine Problems

“This happens almost all the time - when driving at city street speed of 25 MPH and under my car shakes so much and does not accelerate and feels like it is going to shut down. On 3 occasions I was rear ended because of this and one time was with a huge sanitation truck with my children inside the car. I have taken this car to the dealer and the Mitsubishi dealer to be looked at and help to no avail it still does it. I have reported this to Mitsubishi motors and was given a case number but to date no one has contacted me nor helped me. …”

“We purchased our 2015 Outlander in feb 2017 with only 25,000 miles. It was manufactured in july 2015 with a 2.0 liter engine. There is a recall for shuddering engines for this vehicle during this time, however out VIN did not appear on the recall list. When I am stopped at a red light or slow down, then try to speed up, the transmission shutters and jumps forward. There is now another issue resulting in the vehicle to increase RPM's without gaining speed. With further inspection, there was no transmission fluid in the reserve.

Engine has 15,693 miles, mechanic says a rod is knocking and shouldn't be running the fan to cool as much as it does. All this has multiple occurances. Mitsubishi has had the car twice but found nothing wrong.”

The vehicle was put into shop due to a computer chip issue that occurred on 'the line.' got vehicle back and same problem. Mitsubishi put back in shop and replaced the transmission in dec 2015.
