I would that it's too early for my vehicle with 64900 miles already has an oil pan gasket that causes a leak to my vehicle every time I do oil change on time and also that I have a cooler hose of the transmission leaked and for the transmission to be in service every 60000 miles. So I filed a complaint against the manufacturer who is the cause for this model for the same year to have the same problem for having any leaks too early. So I need your help that the manufacturer should recall the same model from this year based on the mileage of the vehicle.

I’ve changed the battery at least once or twice within the first 2 years of purchasing the vehicle from the dealer with zero miles on it. Lately (in the past 2 months) I’ve changed the battery at least four times or more. Some expensive batteries as well. In the past 2 months, it’s been giving me problems including stalling on me, slowing down on the highway, sometimes won’t start at all, sometimes it’ll say electrical system service required. Once it said four-wheel drive system service required on the highway as it slew down and I had to pull aside. I’ve noticed some recalls on the vehicle via internet research. It may not be specific to my vehicle, but it does seem very familiar problems with my vehicle. Such as Electrical system: Starter assembly: Relay, Electronic stability control, Electrical system: Software and even with the transmission. I’ve towed the vehicle to the Mitsubishi dealer in Totowa, NJ today. I was informed that my specific vehicle doesn’t any recalls. Service advisor did say there are other similar vehicles did have those recalls but mine didn’t come up on the recall.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR FROM A SLOWER ENTRANCE SPEED TO A HIGHWAY AND AFTER GETTING UP TO SPEED THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO REV AT HIGHER RPM UNTIL I AM OFF THE THROTTLE COMPLETELY. THEN AFTER REAPPLYING THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SHIFT DOWN. NO MATTER HOW LIGHT OR STEADY THE THROTTLE, EVEN BARELY TOUCHING THROTTLE AT ALL, IT SEEMS TO STAY IN "PASSING GEAR". THIS HAS THE CVT TRANMISSION AND IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS UNTIL THE LAST SERVICING OF FLUID CHANGE IN THE DIFFS/TRANNY. CURRENTLY HAVE 77K MILES. LAST SERVICE WAS AT 2K. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR NEXT OIL CHANGE AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT
