Guys, could TSB# 0713007  be related to this problem:

I have also noticed the same condition with my Outie.


Mitsu girl

Damn girl you are good to have around : )

Good find Val. Will talk to my dealer the soonest. This is a very important TSB.

great thanks!
 
Is there an offical list though?

Anybody have their Outlander repaired for this TSB yet?  If so what exactly did it correct?

Valerie your freaking awesome!!!
Thats the problem Ive been having I have an October build date so pretty much all the TSBs apply to mine. Im having a hard time getting the dealer to look them up.

omg thanks for the update...I cannot find these TSB for the 07 outlander...Is there anymore Val? I got a whole list to give to my dealer and fix.

I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to diagnose my radio volume problem and hopefully they will start the process to replace it.
I will inquire about the throttle hesitation TSB and I will let you know what they say.
BTW - there is a TSB for the radio volume issue. Mitsu will replace the radio unit. It applys to all radio units.
 
Maybe we should start a proper repository for all known TSBs: front end clunk, wind rattle noise, FAST key (already here), plus these two new ones. I cannot remember any others.
 

dodo- whats the TSB # for the radio? They had an older one saying that they were holding off on replacing until they get a handle on the issue. Did they figure it out then?
 
I will say one thing for mitsu, they dont waste any time in resolving issues. GM takes 8 yrs to make a change

I don't have the TSB number yet. You are right; the older thing was in fact a "Tech Talk" where Mitsu was telling the dealers just that.
Two days ago I spoke with Mitsu Canada rep and he told me that new radios are available. However, the dealer must open a case with Mitsu Canada to request a unit and then Mitsu Canada will source the unit from Mitsu US. I think at this time Mitsu has a limited release of the new units, just to make sure the problem is resolved.
Tomorrow I'm taking my car in just to have the dealer diagnose the problem; once they see the issue, will initiate the procedure to get the new radio. I hope I will be able to reproduce the problem since it's a random occurrence.

Those are the only two I've found so far aside from the older TSBs (front clunk and side mirror rattle)

could you post a link where you found those TSBs?

Here's another TSB but I'm not too sure if the TSB# is correct since it's only 3 digits.
Other TSB#s are 7 digits.

Thank you! Strangly, there are no TSBs for Wind noise and clunking issue...

Klas- They are mentioned in posts and may even be stickied at the top of this forum.

The website linked only has a few TSBs listed. I have an Alero and know there are 166 (pretty sad) TSBs in existence, that site had hardly any showing. So I dont know what they base it on.

Maybe NHTSA only lists safety related TSBs. The throttle hesitation could be qualified as a safety issue. Not sure about the others.
While I was on the NHTSA web site, I did a search for the complaints and I have to say the Outlander is far better compared to the CRV and RAV4. Most of the people complained about radio display, clunking noise and wind noise. On the other hand, there were few reported crashes with the 06 RAV4 related to the erratic behaviors of braking and acceleration. Interesting!
 
 

The throttle hesitation is definately a safety issue. I let my BIL who has a lexus with known throttle hesitaion issue drive the outie and he said it was dangerous compared to his lexus.

On my way to the dealership. I'll post an update later on tonight. If time permits, I may have them done today.

btw, I heard that "clunk" that everyone been talking about and after going through a few threads I found this:
 
GROUP 35 Service Brakes : ABS Pump Noise (Update): 2006-07 Eclipse, 2007 Eclipse Spyder and Outlander : ABS System Conducts a self-check to ensure it is functioning properly the first time the vehicle reaches approx 2.5 mph. During the self check, a "clunking" noise will be heard from the right front of the engine compartment. The noise only occurs the first time the vehicle is driven after the engine is started. It will not reoccur until the engine is restarted. This noise is a normal operation of the ABS System. Do not attempt to repair this condition.
 
So, that basically tells us that there is no issue with clunk noise. FYI, I had the same EXACT thing on TSX.
 

Hey all,
 
HERE IS A LINK FOR THE '07 OUTLANDER TSB...
 
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recallsearch.cfm
 
Select the make, model, and year for the vehicle.
 
There is like 5 TSB for the Outlander. Sure enough Imma print that out and give it to the dealer to get it fix.

btw thanks to val., it was very useful. :)

I don't know where you see 5 TSBs, I only see 2 that can be used.
