NHTSA Complaint #10905886 — 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

EVER SENSE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS HAD A NOISE IN THE FRONT. IT SOUNDS AS IF IT IS COMING FROM THE CONTROL ARM. WHEN IT STARTED GETTING WORSE I CALLED TO TELL THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM AND HE SAID THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THINKING THIS, BUT IT IS JUST A NOISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN REVERSE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM PASSENGER TIRE. I WILL HAVE THIS LOOKED AT HOPEFULLY ON THURSDAY. ALSO, I HAVE A SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN IT EITHER IDLES OR IS DRIVEN FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT AS WELL. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF I SMELL ANTIFREEZE...BADLY IN THE CAR AND ALSO OUTSIDE OF IT NEAR THE GRILL. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION DRAGS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR IF IT HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
