Mitsubishi OUTLANDER SPORT problems and owner complaints

WE RECENTLY CHANGE THE POWER TRAIN (TRANSMISSION) 2014 AFTER THREE YEARS WE ARE HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. AFTER EVERY HOUR ON THE ROAD WE HAVE TO STOP AND LET IT REST FOR A WHILE BECAUSE IT HEATS UP PRETTY QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY IN HIGHWAYS.

I WENT ON VACATION FOR SEVEN DAYS AND WHEN I RETURNED I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD AND IT STARTED JUST FINE. THE NEXT MORNING AS I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK, THE VEHICLE STALLED. I CONTACTED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. I THEN TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY STATED THE ENGINE MAY BE DONE FOR BECAUSE THE COMPRESSION LEVELS WERE READING VERY LOW AND THE HIGHEST READING WAS A 41 OF THE FOUR CYLINDERS. THEY SUGGESTED ITS EITHER THE TIMING BELT OR THE ENGINE AND THAT THE TIMING B…

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT.

PROBLEM EXISTED IN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. UNDER LOW SPEED, 5 TO 10 MPH OR LESS, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING OCCASIONALLY (USUALLY AFTER A FULL TURNING OF STEERING WHEEL TO THE LIMIT). WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, NO POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONALITY FUNCTIONING, SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES STEERING EFFORTS, THUS INCREASES VEHICLE CRASHING POSSIBILITIES SIGNIFICANTLY. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONLY DRIVEN FOR LESS THAN 4 YEARS. A SELF CHECK ON THE STEERING SYSTEM SHOWED WITH NO LEAKING STEERING FLUID AND COMPLETELY CLEAN STEERING FLUID WH…

KEEPING THIS SIMPLE, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND I WAS SMELLING GAS. TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS TANK, NEAR THE TALK, RUSTED AS IT PROBABLY WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN, IT SEEMS IT IS RIGHT AROUND WHERE IT CONNECTS TOGETHER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I NOTICED THAT IT WAS ON CARS, BUT NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, AS IT JEOPARDIZED THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILD.

The mouth part where u put the fuel nozzle into ur vehicle is rusting very bad and I try to clean it out often but I'm still concerned that there are rusted pieces of metal still getting down into my actual gas tank. What can be done about this? I wouldn't think this piece would rust considering it's made to handle fuel.
