Read complaints for MITSUBISHI LANCER (2016)


Accident that resulted in the car being declared total loss. The car was hit in the upper front and side area of drivers side. During the accident the air bags did not deploy. Resulted in injuries, of course. The car was making left handed turn from residential area onto a busy main street. And the other vehicle was not paying attention and hit the car while it was trying to turn. The car was going approximately 15-20 mph. The other vehicle was going 40-45 mph. What would cause the air bags to malfunction?? because i would love to know why injuries had to even occur since they only happened due to the malfunction of the air bags.

I have been driving this car for a couple of months now and every once in a while very randomly i experienced a loss of acceleration completely. It happens after a long period of driving and when i'm coming up to a stop sign and going to accelerate again after doing research online and taking it to my dealership they will not do anything because they cannot figure out the problem i found a recall on the nhtsa website for my vehicle with my vin number included in the range of in numbers experiencing this exact problem. I need help getting my dealership to acknowledge this because it is not on their website. I have almost been rear-ended multiple times because of this problem and i am afraid for my safety

The car doesnt crank and we have to wait like 2 or 3 min and then will crank but struggling.

The light stating to service my transmission came on. The maintenance mileagewas within stated parameters.servicewas completed, transmission fluid changed. Drove away and the light turned on. My transmission failed in april of 2019.

As i was driving it it seems to hesitate on accelerating after afew stopsthe transmission light would come on for a little bit then go off. Same with the check engine light. As i was driving it to work on the highway.. It suddenly started losing power and i was able to pull over and park it at a gas station where it went completely dead.. I hadaaatow it.. It started up but the shifting is not engaging right away. Had the software updated in 2019.. The cvt transmission are full ofproblems. It seems to have the same symptoms as the recall but my car was not recalled according to the vin number..i had a flush done recently and i have also had the oil changed when needed. The acceleration hesitation then loss of power while driving 60 on the freeway is a safety issue... A lot of semi trucks travel that highway and they cant stop when a car loses power in front of them.

The contact owns a 2016 mitsubishi lancer. After coming to a stop, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. In addition, the service transmission warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 16v563000(power train). The contact attempted to notify the manufacturer, but his call was not answered. Bakersfield mitsubishi (4600 wible rd, bakersfield, ca 93313, (661) 398-9422) was also contacted, but a representative gave him information regarding an unrelated vehicle issue. The contact was provided a quote for the repair cost and was offered no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 98,600.

I have noticed an issue with my cars acceleration from a 0 mile per hour starting point to a 30 mph. It is very sudden and random. It has occurred several times from a stop at a traffic light or a stop sign. There is a second to as long as 4 second hesitation in acceleration. Accelerator pedal is pressed and the car takes off for a brief second or 2 before the few second hesitation occurs. It can be dangerous if this occurs when pulling out on a busy highway with traffic coming. For those few seconds there is nothing you can do but press the gas pedal harder when though the car is not doing anything. After those few seconds the car transmission kicks in and you eventually have control in acceleration once again. Took to the dealer today. They said no recalls on the vehicle. Online i see a similar recall on the outlander transmission but service tech says he checked and nothing on the lancer. They drove my car and of course it don't happen. It's very random. It usually happens once a week. It has prob occurred about 10 times if not more. There is no way to expect it so now i have to take extreme caution when i'm about to pull out on a busy road with traffic coming my way. Has anyone else had this issue with their lancer?

Automatic cvt transmission began failing at 60,000 miles. Transmission fluid was changed at 30k miles, 55k miles, 80k, and 98,000 miles.transmission completely failed at 98,000 miles. This is due to a manufacturer defect and we should not have to pay for this out of pocket. Please open a recall. This has been reported several times on this vin series. The vehicle hesitates to switch gears and cannot enter 4th gear or higher. Transmission slips with acceleration. Please recall!

When i try to accelerate, the car starts out really slow. There is a lot of jerking and acceleration issues. When i try to accelerate, it acts like it is shifted to l, but then it speeds up. This is a constant issue.

I was driving down the freeway at 65 mph, when i heard a very loud sound, like a gunshot, and my sunroof shattered. There was no rock or impact to my car, it just spontaneously exploded with glass raining everywhere. When i took it to the dealership, they told me it was clear that there was no rock impact to the sunroof because of the way that the remaining glass was bowed outward. However, when they submitted the documentation to mitsubishi corporate, after 8 hours of review, they declined to cover it under warranty, stating that it must have been due to a rock impact or other collision and not because of a glass or manufacturer defect.
