#69 of 101 Re: Why- You are driving a car with a CVT transmission [metuchenscale] by dodo2 Feb 17, 2007 (6:10 pm)
Replying to: metuchenscale (Feb 17, 2007 11:43 am) If, by any chance, you live in Canada and you read "The Globe and Mail" newspaper, I hope you did not get this information from there. On Thursday's February 15 issue of the Auto Globe section, they had a review of the Outlander and the author, along with other idiotic statements, was saying that the Outlander has a CVT transmission. Later on, they corrected the article online by removing the references to the CVT, but they could not remove the rest of the non-sense originated from the CVT idea. Useless review in any case.

Replying to: biscuit_xls (Sep 14, 2007 9:30 pm) I had the throttle lag as well. I printed off the 2 tsb's and took them into the dealership. They fixed everything in the vehicle runs MUCH more smoothly. Thanks to whoever posted the tsb's. Replies to this message: comem47 (Oct 30, 2007 4:14 am)
#72 of 101 Mitsubishi Outlander Tranny by gleppert Oct 29, 2007 (8:07 am)
This message is directed to owners of an '07 Outlander.   My Mom purchased one last spring. She took it in for the 3K maintenance last week and they found that her transmission was leaking. It was repaired, supposedly, but when she returned to the dealer a week later as informed, the tranny was still leaking.   The dealer made several calls and she was told to leave the vehicle at the dealer. She was given a loaner and told that they would be replacing the tranny. Japan asked that hers be returned to the engineers in Japan to see what was causing the leak.   Anybody have this, or other, tranny-related issues?

Replying to: clutchguy77 (Oct 20, 2007 6:09 pm) Amen to the TSBs. I had them done and the tech was cautious about what I should expect since the throttle is "fly by wire", and he expected I'll always find it "different", but I'm very pleased with the results. I told my wife to forget what I told her to do before if she were to drive my outlander since it behaves normally now .The pedal is much more linear from stop and no "sags" when rolling along.

Replying to: biscuit_xls (Sep 14, 2007 2:11 pm) I am so glad to read this from you. Many thanks. Can you also post the 2nd tsb (07-23-006). I can only print the 1st tsb. Replies to this message: comem47 (Nov 07, 2007 9:04 am) ddurham (Nov 14, 2007 8:18 am)

Replying to: biscuit_xls (Sep 14, 2007 2:11 pm) Thanks for the tsb info. I bought a 2007 Outlander this September and noticed the throttle lag the second day of use. Probably didn't notice it earlier because i was used to my Ford Taurus which had a much stiffer gas pedal. Took it back to the dealer who ran diagnostics, found nothing wrong. I'm not sure when my car was built but the VIN does not fall under those listed on the bulletin; ie 7U instead of 7Z, yet I am still noticing this problem. Can i still use this bulletin to take to my dealer? Other than this problem, I love the car.

Replying to: comem47 (Nov 07, 2007 9:04 am) I noticed the lag on my first test drive. Purchased mine in November and it also had the lag. I took the TSB to the dealer and they took care of it. No more lag. Thanks all who posted the TSB's.
#78 of 101 problems with throttle lag fix? by smoke_1ers Dec 06, 2007 (11:48 am)
I live in canada, and had my '07 outlander in to the dealership to get the throttle lag fixed. Since then I've noticed significantly worse fuel consumption. I called the dealership to tell them & they told me that since it had gooten colder, anyone who'd had the throttle lag fixed was having the same issue. I asked to be switched back to the old ecu/throttle program, saying I'd rather deal with the lag than lose 50-100 kms every tank of gas (yeah thats right!). They told me once the program was updated, it couldn't be fixed.   can someone help! anyone esle experience this problem? any fixes? I'm about to call Mitsubishi Canada, hopefully they can offer some ideas.
