The contact owns a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Forward Collision Mitigation warning light illuminated, causing the vehicle to independently brake. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V620000 (Electrical System, Forward Collision Avoidance); as a possible cause for the failure; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact stated that there was continuous chime during the failure and the vehicle…

My 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander has experienced recurring high engine-temperature readings, misfires, and two overheating-related engine shutdowns while driving, creating a risk of unexpected power loss in traffic. The vehicle has been evaluated repeatedly by authorized Mitsubishi dealerships without identifying the underlying cause. Air in the cooling system was documented in September 2025, with the dealership noting it could cause the engine to run hotter than normal. In September 2026, a…

2022 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Filed Oct 15, 2026


I am writing to escalate a severe safety violation by my dealership regarding my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. My infotainment screen is freezing and looping black, which leaves me without a functioning rearview safety camera. I brought the vehicle in for Safety Recall SR-25-001 (NHTSA Campaign 25V369), but the software update failed. The dealership is now refusing to order a replacement radio unit, claiming my car is not covered due to mileage. Safety recalls do not have mileage limits, and this…

255 45 R20 I had been having tire issues for several days, took car into Mavis tire center and they could not balance it, diagnosing it as separated tire/manufacture defect and advised not to drive as it was unsafe. I called Nexen Tire and advised to take it to one of their dealers which I did(Tire Choice). They wanted me to buy a new tire and give the tire to the distributor. I refused because the distributor has nothing to do with the factory warranty. I went back to Nexen and told to file…

2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Filed Sep 25, 2026


The front subframe crossmember on my vehicle is severely rusted out. There is currently a hole measuring about 2x1. I previously had two other holes on the bottom welded as a temporary fix, but the rust just kept eating through the metal and it's now beyond saving. Because of this structural damage, the car is unsafe to drive and cannot pass a NYS safety inspection. I know Mitsubishi recalled earlier Outlanders for this exact crossmember rust issue, but later model years like mine seem to…

2022 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Filed Sep 24, 2026


The contact owns a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that there was a strong odor of gasoline odor inside the cabin, causing the driver and passengers to experience nausea, and the windows needed to be opened while driving the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and occurred after refueling the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone and informed the contact that the issue was unknown. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the…

2022 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Filed Sep 22, 2026


The hood on my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander has visibly fluttered, shaken and bounced while driving since I purchased the vehicle used on March 15, 2024, with approximately 80,000 miles. This has been an ongoing condition throughout my ownership, not a single isolated incident. The movement is especially noticeable at highway speeds and can be clearly seen from inside the vehicle while driving. I am concerned that the amount of hood movement could present a safety risk while the vehicle is being…

2022 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Filed Sep 22, 2026


While operating my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, a strong raw gasoline odor began entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC vents. The odor is present while driving but becomes significantly stronger when the vehicle is stopped and idling. After the engine is turned off, the gasoline odor gradually improves. The condition has occurred repeatedly. I am concerned about occupants being exposed to gasoline vapors inside the passenger compartment and the potential safety risk associated with…

2025 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Filed Sep 15, 2026


My 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has experienced recurring, severe powertrain failures causing a dangerous 'PHEV System Fault / Power Reduced' limp mode at highway speeds, dropping instantly from 60+ MPH to severely restricted speeds. This creates an immediate risk of a high-speed rear-end collision. The vehicle is currently fully dismantled at Jidd Motors Mitsubishi while technicians execute an extensive internal mechanical teardown of the engine's valve cover and cylinder valvetrain assembly…
