GPSeek, Do you have anymore like this that you are showing??? It would really help if someone list all the problems in that format.

 
That is the only page I have found. But, that is more than enough for our purpose.

hey dodo, did you get the TSB# on the radio? can you post it please.

 
According to my dealer, there is no TSB yet for the radio. I got the P/N for the new radio (standard) if this helps.

Please post the number or PM me, whichever you prefer. Is this a different product number from the OEM radio originally installed?. Do you guys in Canada have RDS in the MMCS?

The radio I got has a different P/N than the original one. It can only be ordered via Mitsu Canada not as a regular part. The radio however comes from the US so I would say it's the same unit. 
I will post the P/N once I find the sticky note I wrote it on.
At least the standard radio in the Canadian LS has RDS. However, all it displays is the radio station name, but only for few seconds when you first change the channel. No track/artist name is displayed or other info.
 
EDIT: The updated radio (standard, Canadian model) P/N: DY3W69U-2

I went today to my dealership to get that TSB done to repair that clunk noise i'm getting and no luck it did not fix clunk the tech said that he will call Mitsubishi Canada tomorrow to find out what they can do next to tried to fix that annoying noise on my XLS.

I had also taken the bearing TSB to my dealership and when they spoke to Mitsu Canada, they didn't have a solution.  Said that this TSB did not apply to Canadian vehicles.
 
Still have the clunk that happens once from a fresh start.  Will be interesting if Mitsu Canada has another solution yet.

the scanner is NOT portable, as it is part of the two stage set up for the reprog on the new outlanders.  The VCI is to be linked with the MEDIC in order to to the reprog and yes there are TWO TSB's to be done at the same time.  I can get TSB numbers and what they are etc if needed.  One of my customers is a member of this forum group and he asked me about it cause he read it here..........yep they do exist. 

Clunk or Pop Type Noise From Front Suspension - 2007 Outlander. ATIN-06-26-001 was sent to dealership Service Managers on 11/22/06 stating: Some affected vehicles may have a clunk or pop type noise from the front suspension when driving at low speeds and turning right or left (parking lot type maneuvers). If you encounter this concern, use chassis ears to help locate the source of the noise and to determine if the noise is from the left or right side of the vehicle. Then contact Tech Line for further diagnosis and/or repair information. DO NOT replace any parts prior to contacting Tech Line.

I had the TSB done yesterday, and if you haven't done it, do it. It made a big difference in stop and go driving as well as increase my gas mileage due to me not mashing the gas pedal to move all the time. I'm happier now.

Do you know what happens if you don't do them at the same time and what needs to be done afterwards to correct this situation (my case exactly)?
At the first look, the car seems to behave normally - better I should say as the hesitation is gone, but I seem to observe an increase in fuel consumption. 

when your dealer did the reprog, they should have done both at the same time, if you had the hesitation one done, that is to do with the ECM.  I just read over both TSBs and I can't see a reason as to why you can't just go in and have the other reprog done as its to do with the TCM.  If you are needing that reprog done it could be affecting your fuel economy as it has to do with incorrect gear ratio signals between the transmission and the TCM.

Thanks a lot for your response. Do you see any potential for damage to the car due to the fact that the reprogramming wasn't done at the same time (I only had the ECM TSB done) and I drove the car about 700-800 miles like that?

I'm calling the dealer now. I having this issue too.

whoever done both TSB please post your thoughts afterwards and instructions to get this done right.

Well luckily my friend works at Mitsu, but I just told them I suffering from throttle hesitation, and then gave them the tsb number. The car runs a lot better from start and go stopping. It's definitely more responsive, and the best part is that it helps cut back on fuel as your less likely to mash the gas.

The thwack you get after going a few feet in a straight line (or whatever) after starting the car is the ABS brake check. If you dont get a loud alarming clunk any other time you do not have an issue.

Well the dealer didn't program my outie because they haven't received the "program, fix, whatever" from Mitsubishi in PuertoRico. They were surprised about the tsb, so now I need to wait until they call me.

I took mine in today, the TSB fixed my throttle lag, it drives much better now. I seriously used to notice the throttle lag every day that I drove my Outlander.
 
I went in armed with the TSB sheet. Knowing that my dealer couldn't even tighten my drain plug last time I took it in for service, I had my doubts that they could do something as technical as re-flashing the ECU.
 
I anticipated 3 different responses from the Service Advisor:
 
1. Good Service: Sir, we know about that problem, there's a TSB for it, and we can get it fixed right away.
 
2. Normal Service: We'll take a look and check to see if there are any TSBs.
 
3. Bad Service: That's normal, a lot of cars do that. But I'll have the mechanic take it for a test drive.
 
Sad to say, my Service Advisor failed the test and gave me line #3. Dumbfounded, I told him that wasn't the appropriate answer. He said that he couldn't check TSBs, but the mechanic would check.
 
So I waited and watched. The mechanic went for a test drive, then hooked up the car to the computer. About an hour later he brought the car out. I asked him what he did, he said he "reprogrammed the ECU." I asked him if he also re-flashed the transmission, per the TSB. He said "our computers have been down for a while so I don't know about any other TSB." So I gave him the printed TSB and told him that it clearly says that you have to do both TSBs without disconnecting the computer. He took the car back and apparently did it right, because it works great now, much better than before.
 
The Service Manager (Rico) was either jawing with a buddy in his office, or gone completely, so I never got a chance to talk to him.
 
I dunno, next time I'm going to another dealership that's a little farther away. Between the lack of knowledge, unprofessional attitude, and dirty/messy work environment I think I've had enough of the dealership that sold me the car.

My dealer is going to reprogram the system on Tuesday 
I contacted them by email so that they can see the picture of the TSB
 

Thanks BoldlyGoingNowhere...that's great news that it's just an ABS check.
 
Just recently got my radio replaced for the fluctuating volume issue.  Mitsu Canada sent a new radio.  It's much better (less frequent), but still have the issue.  Found that it only happens when at lower volume settings (<15).  Once it is set higher, the problem dissappears.
 
Dealer is requesting a new amplifier from Mitsu Canada to see if that will resolve the issue.
 
Aside from the volume issue, we absolutely love our Outlander.  It is amazingly fun to drive.
 
 

Anyone have the complete TSB so I can print it out? I plan to take my outie to the dealer in a month (my first oil change) and have them take care of this TSB. I do notice the lag, mainly when you are moving slow (stop and go traffic) and when you need to go again the car jumps. I also notice the ABS "clunk" but it does not bother me.

The TSB is on page 4 of this thread, I printed that and brought it to the dealer.

Complete TSBs for throttle hesitation (TSB 07-23-006 and TSB 07-13-007): http://outlander.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=70
Please note that these have to be done together at the same time.

Thanks, I printed out the cover sheet but I wanted the whole shabang just in case (I DON'T trust the mechanics 100%).
Rob



PS-The ABS clunk does happen in reverse too. Found that out today!!!!!!

The rest of the 12 pages is pure technician instructions on how to use the electronics equipments, service programs, etc., which actually is no longer pertinent to the end-user. The front page describes the problem, what needs to be done, and what models are affected, which should suffice,  although I have a copy of all 24 pages of the 2 TSBs
