Mitsubishi Outlander Sport jerking during shifts and not moving upon acceleration, requires new transmission due to TSB and class action lawsuit on Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Some Mitsubishi Outlander Sport owners report experiencing transmission problems, including jerking during shifts and the vehicle not moving upon acceleration, which may require a new transmission due to technical service bulletins (TSB) and class action lawsuits. Common issues noted include transmission failure, jerking from a stop, and rough shifting, particularly in the 2014 and 2015 model years, with the 2015 model having a notable issue of the battery dying during use. Additionally, owners of certain models from the 2014–2016 years report problems with the continuously variable transmission (CVT), such as jerking, stalling, and overheating, which can lead to complete transmission failure requiring expensive repairs. To identify if their Outlander is affected, owners are advised to test drive the vehicle and look for signs like hesitation during acceleration, shaking, excessive engine RPMs, stalling, and slipping gears. Staying informed about TSBs or class action lawsuits may help owners address these transmission concerns effectively.
