2015 Mitsubishi OUTLANDER SPORT problems and owner complaints

THE CAR STUTTERS AND JERKS TO ACCELERATE WHEN GAS IS PRESSED FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE ISSUE. HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO STOP IN.

I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL SERVICE AND ALSO REPORTED THE NEAR MISS DUE TO THE LOSS OF DRIVING POWER. THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND THE DEALERSHIP FAIL…

My transmission doesn't go into gear right away and doesn't drive right in automatic. If I switch it to manual and only go up to 5th gear it shifts fine. There was a transmission recall for same year make and model as mine. Those recalls happened around 80,000 miles. I have 84,000. I was previously told I needed either a fuel tank or fuel injectors, never got it diagnosed. My gas gauge reads full all the time even when I dont have gas.
