2016 Mitsubishi Outlander UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I have a CVT system on my SUV and the transmission keeps slipping. A transmission light comes on and the car starts to stall. It happens mostly in stop and go traffic.

On 10/10/23, my boyfriend was driving the listed vehicle home. He had it in cruise control, note vehicle does not have adaptive cruise. Suddenly the vehicle started speeding up and redlining the RPM'S, he tried pressing the brakes and it did nothing. He finally was able to put it in neutral and get it to stop. Upon stopping. He tried shutting the vehicle off with the push button, but it would not shut off at first. Finally after several attempts he got it to shut off but noticed the vehicle trying to run other systems on its own while it's supposedly off.

I was driving down the highway with my son in the car and it started jerking and the reving up to high rpms. I decided to get off the highway where my car would not go over 40mphs and still reving. Took to a family mechanic who said to take it to the dealership for transmission problems.

MY 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SE, is having hesitation when accelerating. This vehicle's vin number was NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CONSEQ: A HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF THE CRASH. PROBLEM IS WITH THE CVT - EUC transmission

THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY CAME APART AFTER I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. PLASTIC PIECES AND INDICATOR COVERS POPPED OUT THROUGH THE CENTER CONSOLE AND WERE VISIBLE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE BUNCHED UP PLASTIC PIECES WOULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO GO INTO NEUTRAL, AND I WOULD HAVE TO HOLD MY SHIFTER IN DRIVE TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIPPING BACK INTO NEUTRAL .

ON WED. SEPTEMBER 7, 2016, AVIS RENT A CAR AT HOBBY AIRPORT IN HOUSTON, TX RENTED THIS VEHICLE TO ME WITH AN OPEN SAFETY RECALL. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL ~15 MINUTES AFTER I LEFT THE AIRPORT AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE FREEWAY. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF THE FREEWAY, I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND INSPECTED THE CAR. FINDINGS INCLUDE: 1) LOW TIRE GAUGE LIGHT ON (AFTER LEAVING THE AIRPORT, BEFORE THE TIRE BLEW OUT), 2) WHAT LOOKED LIKE DUCT TAPE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD, POSSIBLY INDICATING A NEW WINDSHIELD HAD RECENTLY BEEN INSTALLED 3) A BROKEN TAIL LIGHT ON THE LEFT REAR 4) THE KEY TAG HAD THE PHRASE "SAFETY RECALL" ON IT AND 5) THE TIRE BLEW OUT. I CALLED AVIS EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT I FOUND. I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR AS IT APPEARED TO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL AND POSSIBLY HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO HOBBY AIRPORT. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE REPLACED THE DAMAGED TIRE, AND I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST AVIS APPROXIMATELY 6 MILES AWAY AND EXCHANGED THE CAR. WHEN I RETURNED THE 2ND CAR, I TOLD THE LADY WHO CHECKED IN THE CAR WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE 1ST CAR. SHE INFORMED A MANAGER AND CAME BACK TO ME. SHE SAID, HER MANAGER SAID THE CAR WAS ON A RECALL AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RENTED. THE MANAGER ALSO TOLD HER I COULD SUE AVIS. MY INTENTION FOR SHARING THIS IS I AM NOT CONVINCED AVIS WILL DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT TO ENSURE SOMEONE ELSE DOESN'T END UP WITH A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND AM AWARE A LAW WAS PASSED TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF SITUATION. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. I HOPE YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO FOLLOW UP WITH AVIS TO ENSURE ALL SAFETY PRACTICES ARE ADHERED TO 100% OF THE TIME AND IF SOMEONE CALLS ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE EXPRESSING CONCERN AS I DID, THEY DON'T PUT SOMEONE'S LIFE IN JEOPARDY A 2ND TIME.
