2008 Mitsubishi Outlander Complaint Log

INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING THEN CATCHES UP. THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED INTO NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY TELL ME "NO CODES" APPEAR SO THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. I CAN NOT DUPLICATE THIS AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT IS FRIGHTFUL WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE EXPRESSWAY. *TR

THE CRUISE SPEED CONTROL DASHBOARD LIGHT DOES NOT CORRECTLY INDICATE WHEN THE CONTROLLER IS CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE SPEED. IT IS ALWAYS LIT WHEN THE CONTROL IS ACTIVATED RATHER THAN JUST WHEN THE CONTROL IS ENGAGED AND CONTROLLING SPEED. I COMPLAINED TO A DEALER SERVICE MANAGER WHO STATED THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE CORRECTED. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED A BAD NOISE LIKE A KNOCK AT THE MUFFLER AREA SIX WEEKS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS ACQUIRE. THIS NOISE CAN BE HEARD SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED ON. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM AT THE MITSUBISHI DEALER SERVICE, BUT THE REPLIED BACK THAT THIS SOUND IS A NORMAL CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER '08, PADDLE SHIFTERS ARE A POORLY DESIGNED DEVICE FOR SHIFTING GEARS ON AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE STEERING WHEEL BESIDE THE RIGHT AND LEFT TURN SIGNALS AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. WHEN YOU USE THE NORMAL ABOVE TWO ITEMS YOUR FINGERS AUTOMATICALLY INVOLUNTARILY SHIFT THE CAR INTO FOR INSTANCE, LOW GEAR!!! HORRIBLY DANGEROUS DEVICE, POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN, TRYING TO "SOUP UP" A CHEAP, POORLY DESIGNED VEHICLE. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

RADIO DISPLAY CAN NOT BE SEEN DURING THE DAY ESPECIALLY WITH SUNROOF OPEN. *TR

BOTH REAR SIDE WINDOWS RATTLE WHILE IN DOWN POSITION. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL AND WITHOUT A BULLETIN FROM MITSUBISHI THEY CAN NOT REPAIR. *TR

VEHICLE SEEMS TO HESITATE FROM STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION DEALER SAID WITHOUT A BULLETIN FROM MITSUBISHI THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. PROBLEM WITH SEEING RADIO DISPLAY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ALSO BOTH REAR SIDE WINDOWS RATTLE WHEN IN DOWN POSITION. *TR
