My vehicle does not accelerate at times and its an issue while driving. i want to avoid getting into an accident and i do not know if its an engine or transmission issue.
I have a 2016 mitsubishi outander 2wd. i noticed as i'm driving the rpm needle is jumping up and down. also i'm losing power as i'm driving. sometimes the rpm goes all the way to 4 before it shifts. i almost got hit in the back because it lost speed while going about 60mph and then it drop speed. i did some research and found out about the recall but for some reason theirs no recall based on my vin#. i don't understand why. its only 36,000 miles
Anytime when i'm driving my vehicle i have to continuously release my foot off the gas pedal for it to attempt to shift into the next gear otherwise it continues to rev up the rpms. also i parked my car turned it off and as i was getting out of the vehicle it the vehicle made a sound as it was trying to start but was struggling. then it stopped. while driving the steering wheel shakes when braking
Ever sense i have purchased this vehicle it has had a noise in the front. it sounds as if it is coming from the control arm. when it started getting worse i called to tell the guy i bought it from and he said there was a lot of people thinking this, but it is just a noise from the bottom of the car. this only happens in reverse and it sounds like a popping noise coming from the bottom passenger tire. i will have this looked at hopefully on thursday. also, i have a smell of gas coming from the engine when it either idles or is driven for a long period of time. i will hopefully have this checked out as well. also, when the car is turned off i smell antifreeze...badly in the car and also outside of it near the grill. also, the transmission drags when i try to accelerate or if it has been driving for a long period of time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 mitsubishi outlander. while the vehicle was stopped at a red light, it independently surged forward without warning. the vehicle was able to be stopped by depressing the brake pedal. the contact mentioned that the vehicle failed to move. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the torque converter failed and the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 6,000.
