Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2019 QE GLS
Engine shudders on highway. The longer you drive, the worse it gets. Like it's so hot it makes it worse. No dash lights, no temp fluctuations, nothing. Which is why it's so odd. Anyone have any input or fixes? It's not normal for a vehicle to shudder/jerk ridiculously when driving on the highway. Also read a comment someone on this page said about that jerk acceleration thing when sitting idle at lights with foot on the brake? Is that normal?
The 4 way hazard lights come on while car is parked and ignition turned off.
What courses the car to jolt forward when the comes to a stand still .is it the torque converter
Mine does this 2023. Mm doesnt give a shit. One tech told me it sounds like the tourqe converter is trying to lock up. I mentioned it to the manager and he got really defensive. Sometimes when it happens it almost feels like someone is nudging you from behind so you look in your rear view mirror. I also get on acceleration from a stand still like its hopping then it figures out we need to drive.. biggest peice of shit i have even owned.
Thanks mate I'll try a gear box services first. Are u pulling a heavy trailer at any stage .I was pull a car trailer long distance and when we stopped maybe a year latter this happened..
My car is 2017 Mitsibushi Pajero Sport Exceed. About 4 - 16months ago I experienced the 1st of 5x, while driving, the car comes to stop in a matter of secs [30-60secs] but remain idling. 1st time, the mechanic replaced filters, the oils and other cleaning completed. The 2nd time, in less than 4 weeks. My mechanic away I went to another reputable mechanic and suggested the same service plus installing a Rayco product to assist with filtering and a catchment resorviour, you would know better than re: this equipment. 3rd time, happened again some 3 months later and another service 4th time. Again, service done, turbo area cleaned from soot build-up. 5th time today, same, driving along and the engine slows down to a stop in seconds, with Hazard lights on straight away, luckily cars slowed down and went around. Same as in all previous times, cannot move the car, even though engine is stil running. I'm no mechanic but if this issues occur, these cars should be advertised as not good for residential purposes but uyes for the open road. These environment crap gaggets introduced are nothing but a deadly equipment and putting people lives in great danger. I hope you car manufacturers are reading this and act. I recall VW had similar problems and someone might have been killed on Australian highway. This is no new dangerous problem. Mitsibushi ???? Regards Charlie
Sorry to hear about your car , not a EGR fault is it? Seems to be common in the QE
Hi I had the DPF system cleaned / serviced. I hd a Ryco cathcment filter installed. These two helped somewhat. Recently I had both the DPF system and EGR system cleaned / serviced and more. After 2 weeks the car is running 90% better. I contacted Mistsubishi but the case manager must have had such complains before and basically hoped I go away as my car is not under warranty. Tried Fair Trading but the documents and info required are more headed towards pissing off me than persue the issue which can turn into a fatality. That's when the car slows down and idle and God help us if it happens on a freeway. Me, my family or other will be dead on the spot. I believe that some years ago, VW had similar issues and if I am correct there was a fatality. I mentioned this to both Mitsubishi and Fair Trading but no action is taken. I tell everyone, never buy a diesel car unless you are to drive very often on highways for 30 mins or more in order to assist in the cleaning of the crap in the diesel we have here in Australia. Mitsubihi should do the same but I guess not until there is a fatality. As for Fair Trading, here's another useless over paid government body that shirk their work they're paid for as quick as they can buy sending an email by requesting for receipts or other info that doesn't relate with the issue. I hope you don't experience my scare X 3 when my car slowed and stopped in a 10 secs flat on a main road Thank you for your response. Seems like the rest of such diesel cars haven't experienced such problem as they're silent, very common among us Australian people Regards
Pajero 2024 j sport in cruise control beeps occasionally..can't work out why??
Hi I believe it is the sonar recognising there is a car in front that it is monitoring. Remember the Pajero has autonomous emergency braking, so it monitors even cars in the other lane. I have had it activate when someone changed lanes and the car slowed before I could even react. Pretty amazing tech.
Thank you! Yes we experienced the emergency braking in the first few days! This is the GLX... want awareness this model even had it! It's only a week old so still finding our way! Cheers
i have Pajero sport Mitsubishi tow bar with Hayman Reece Tongue. The tow ball has 2-3 cm of wriggle room which is apparently normal. Can i tow my caravan with ALCO stabilizer coupling (4 pads) with Anti Rotation Plate on towball (as required) ? my concern is the constant movement of tow ball will damage the internal pads inside the coupling thanks
Goodday,is there and what sensor on the auto drive of a Pajero 1999 3.5 v6 can cause the enjin to go in limp mode

2018 Mitsubishi Sport 45000 km removed engine breather pipe and found slight puffing smoke while engine running
We recently had our 2017 Pajero sport return from its 190000 service and the steering now feels very light. In fact when travelling at speed it Is dangerous. Any ideas?
have a 2017 Pajero Sport When I stop at the lights after 10secinds or so there is a Jolt look like from the transmission
This is a popular questions here, it seems the jolt is normal and most, if not all of the pajeros do it.
Worst car i have everhad
Anyone has had a cut out? I am getting intermittent cut outs when fuel consumption is high but no accelerator response. Fixes itself shortly but gives me panic attacks.
mine started doing this last Friday, was driving at 100km on cruise control when cut took itself out cruise mode and started to slow, when I put my foor on accelerate nothing happen.. I noticed that $30 fuel (239km) was gone in under 30km travelled.. car temperture sit way up over half way, it like the car gone into some limp mode but why we can't figure out car now is over heating, sitting over 3000revs and keep losing power and has no acceleration also car isn't throwing any codes, warnings and is detecting the abs in the car at all..
2017 exceed 59000. Keeps losing all power around 100kmh dealer can't find problem .all this started after they did 60000 service
How to turn on the park lights only
Hand brake issues, anybody had them?
Is anyone else having an issue with the fcm activating with nothing in front of them. It has happened to me several times and Mitsubishi said it isn’t showing any fault. It activated on a wet road when I was going around a bend and it slid towards a tree. They asked me was there a caravan or a green powerboat on side of road as they set them off aswell.
Mine goes off a lot as well for no reason. When it happens, it frightens me as I’m not expecting it. All my sensors just randomly go off as well - even when stationary at a set of lights. I turn them off when I’ve had enough!
They told me it happens to a lot of people with temporary fencing on side of road to. I think it’s quite dangerous.
I’ve had mine back to the dealer several times with my 2023 Sport because it likes to brake randomly. Replacing the radar badge has helped but not completely, especially when towing our van. Our dealer says it’s a rarity from what Mitsubishi has told them but I’ve heard from heaps of people who’ve had the same problem. People need to report it to Mitsubishi! It’s dangerous, as you’ve said! Mine is a PS 4wd.
Hi dash lights on the air conditioner don't ligh up on 2017 QE
What is the cause when reverse in pajero sport starts screaming
QE 2017 GLS missing and shuddering at highway speeds (feels like fuel starvation) in 6, 7 and 8 gears. If I manually select 5th gear at 80 and up speeds problem disappears. No problem at high revs in sand etc. no problem around town thru all gears. Only happens on the highway intermittently then clears. Got me stumped. Any thoughts?
Same issue They said it is common. Cut out issue, but us by design apparently.
Oh I see What is it that is 'cutting out'?
