Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ongoing transmission problems despite replacement on Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Some Mitsubishi Outlander Sport owners report experiencing ongoing transmission problems, including jerking, rough shifting, and even complete transmission failure. These issues are particularly prevalent in models from the 2014–2016 years, where the continuously variable transmission (CVT) has been linked to jerking, stalling, and overheating, sometimes necessitating replacement. Additionally, a class action lawsuit filed in December 2021 revealed that the CVT can cause erratic shifting and hesitation, posing safety risks for drivers. Despite attempts at replacements and recalls, some owners continue to face significant challenges with their vehicle's transmission system, highlighting the need for vigilance and proactive measures to ensure safety and performance.
