This is the issue I’m having with this vehicle since I purchased it July3,2026 car shuts off in middle of road and car also loss of power in middle of road while still trying to press gas then jerks backfire issue was reported to dealership. Brand new vehicle but keep having issues that’s not being reported

The contact owns a 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The contact stated that while attempting to make a left turn, the contact noticed another vehicle coming from the opposite direction. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond and crashed into a pole. The air bags deployed. The contact sustained open wounds on both knees and a collarbone injury and chest injuries. No medical attention was received. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The fire department arrived at the scene and examined the contact. The police were called but did not arrive. No police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 950.

ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW APPEARED (ERROR) I took the vehicle to the dealership for evaluation. The mechanic checked, reset, and reprogrammed the module. I was instructed to return if the error occurred. It did after driving 5 miles. The mechanic rechecked for possibly having different errors. I was instructed that it was okay to drive with the errors. Unfortunately, after coming to a stop, I was unable to accelerate! I was on a major road and I was unable to move off to the side of the road. The vehicle in this state is life-threatening. (A tanker truck thankfully was able to stop!) I was able to limp to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle. NOTE: This has been a well-documented issue (Check OUTLANDER FORUM). My 2024 Outlander briefly had the errors, but they cleared themselves. I feel this needs expedited to severe, requiring a mandated software update before a life is lost! This error inhibits frontal collision sensors!

The contact owns a 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The contact stated that due to the position of the camera, the glare of the sun would obstruct the contact's vision which made it difficult for the contact to view any objects while in reverse(R). The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there are no recalls on the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA ID Number: 25V369000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the contact's VIN was not included in the recall. The contact made multiple attempts to reach the manufacturer but his calls were never answered. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15.

Following sustained highway operation and varied elevations in tropical conditions, the vehicle’s Auto Start-Stop system may activate during traffic congestion. In certain instances, the battery warning light illuminates upon engine automatic restart. If the auto start stop is activated once more on the engine restart the battery warning light will turn off. I went to the dealership and they wanted me to leave the vehicle for diagnostics or kept using it which will change the Mild Hybrid battery and avoid recurrence. But the issue keeps happening.
