INTERMITTENT ROUGH IDLE AND FLUCTUATING RPM.. AFRAID VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE BY ITS SELF MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT WAITING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT
AT ONLY 76,000 MILES, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER WHEN GOING ANYWHERE FROM 10 MPH-40 MPH. THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS ON A CITY STREET BUT CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON SO, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TEST DRIVING IT, THEY SIMPLY HAD TO RESET THE SENSOR. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR WAS STILL SHUDDERING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER GETTING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS ADVISED TO DO BY THE MITSUBISHI MECHANICS, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. AT 76,000 THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY MAJOR TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE ISSUES. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR THAT I WILL END UP IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
MY CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING. MYCAR WILL JUMP FOR ONE SECOND OR SO, THEN TOTALLY FAILS TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WILL STAY QUEIT FOR COUPLE SECOND EVEN IF I STEP ON THE GAS AS HARD AS I CAN. THEN AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, MY RPM WIL JUMP TO AROUND 5000RPM WITHOUT ANY SIGN. THERE WERE SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS FOR ME IN THE PAST FEW MONTH. WHEN I JUST ENTERED A ROUNDABOUT, THE ISSUE OCCURED AND MY CAR WON'T ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REARENED BY OTHER CARS THAT WERE ALREADY IN THE ROUNDABOUT. I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO, AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE PROGRAMMING, AND I SHOULD BE ALL SET AFTER THEY UPDATED MY CAR'S SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE IN PAST COUPLE MONTHS. THE PROBLEMS HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEED (20MPH), AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR DRIVING INTO A ROUNDABOUT. THE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE PEOPLE ON THE CAR AND OTHER CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME. I AM HAVING IMMENSE PRESURE WHENEVER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR WHEN I TRY TO TURN INTO A ROAD OR ROUNDABOUT. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO TAKE ACTIONS AND ASK THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM!
TOOK MY VEHICLE IN ON A RECALL IT WAS HESITATING WHEN YOU ENTERED THE FREEWAY OR EVEN TAKING OFF FROM RED LIGHT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST THIS ISSUE NEED TO FIXED IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF ALSO OTHERS ON THE ROAD ALSO MY CAR GIVE OFF FALSE FUEL READINGS BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...
I HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS VEHICLE HESITATION, I WILL BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. I'VE ALSO BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE HAD IT REV UP AND JUMP FORWARD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP PROBABLY ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND I MUST BE IMAGINING IT. SERIOUSLY WITH ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING I'M NOT IMAGINING IT. THIS IS A 2015 SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE.
DURING ACCELERATION, I'M EXPERIENCING HESITATION MY VEHICLE JERK OR SLOW TO TAKE OFF THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN..THIS COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT UPON TAKING OFF PLEASE HELP US IS SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM
VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND SEEMS TO WANT TO TURN OFF. ONCE THE VEHICLES GETS TO ABOUT 25 MPH, IT ACCELERATES WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO GET RESOLVED. VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN IN FOR A RECALL REGARDING THIS MATTER BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.
