Summary

Each door latch on our car has had to be replaced, all at separate times since we bought the car in 2017. The door latches will not lock/unlock with the fob or driver panel. It causes a safety issue with the door. It could come open (from failure to latch) while driving and people can fall out. It does not lock/unlock when you lock the car from the driver panel or fob and people can just open your door and enter it. Which has happened to us. The only way to lock/unlock it is from the inside from that door, since the fob, driver panel do not work, but then you have to scoot across the seat and come out the other side of the car to get out of the car, and then you still can’t unlock it unless you scoot back over and unlock that door since there is only 1 door with a key entrance, the driver door. It’s not been a recall on this specific year (2017) but it has been for 2016. We are now replacing our 4th latch because of this issue, hopefully the hatch does not do this as well. Many others with the same year car have had the same problem, I’ve seen many complaints online, and still no recall has been made about the door latches for 2017. It’s a HUGE safety issue not being able to lock and unlock your car door, or the door possibly failing to latch and someone falling out of the car door.

Summary

THE 2017 HAS THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED 2015 AND 2016 MODELS. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND ITS NOW HESITATING ON ACCELERATION - A CLASSIC SIGN OF CVT FAILURE. MITSUBISHI MECHANIC ADVISES ME TO PAY 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS AS ITS OUT OF WARRANTY (124K MILES) I CONTEND THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THE PRIOR YEARS MODELS ARE.

Summary

I'VE HAD MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I FINANCED IT BACK IN JUNE OF 2019 WHICH WAS AT 47K MILES. THERE WAS NO ISSUES, I HAD MY LAST MAINTENANCE DONE IN OCTOBER AT 70K MILES. MY TRANSMISSION SHOWED NO SIGNS OF GOING OUT , THERE'S NO LEAKAGE OF ANY SORT. IT JUST DECIDED SATURDAY, JANUARY 2 OF 2021 THAT IT WAS JUST GOING TO GO OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP JANUARY 5TH, AND HE TOLD ME IT'LL BE $7035.09 TO REPLACE. I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION JUST LIKE THE RECALLS FOR THE 2016 MODELS. THE DASH JUST NOW SAYS TRANSMISSION SERVICE REQUIRED. IT WAS SO SUDDEN! I WAS AT 35MPH AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING SATURDAY. SO, I HAD TO DRIVE AT LEAST 10MILES BACK HOME AT 20MPH, BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AT THAT MOMENT. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND HE SAYS THAT THERE WASN'T A DROP OF FLUID IN THERE. WHEN I GO GET MAINTENANCE DONE I AM TRUSTING THEM TO MAKE SURE I HAVE EVERYTHING CHECKED IN ORDER FOR ME TO FELL TRUST AND BE SAFE WHILE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT I FINANCED FROM THEM. I COULD'VE HAD A ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING. THEY'VE ONLY CHECKED WHAT THEY WERE PAID TO DO AND THAT WAS THE OIL CHANGE WITHOUT EVER CHECKING MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. THERES NO HOLES NOR ANY LEAKAGE THE CODE RAN AND SAYS P084A TRANSMISSION HAS INTERNAL DAMAGE. I'VE REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TWICE AND THE TAKES A WHILE TO DEFROST THE WIPER BLADES MOVE SLOWLY WHEN TURNED TO THE MAX WHEN THERES A STORM.

Summary

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE TRAVELLING WITH MY FAMILY WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNING THE NEW CAR (2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER). THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE PLACE OF PURCHASE, A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP, TO REPLACE THE BULBS WHICH AGAIN WENT OUT WITHIN 7 MONTHS. NEXT, THE BULBS WERE REPLACED AT THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP ONLY TO LOSE THEM AGAIN ON VEHICLE STARTUP 12 - 13 MONTHS LATER. I WAS LEFT WITH NO LIGHTS IN THE DARK AND SUBJECT TO GETTING TO AN AREA OF SAFETY WITH FAMILY IN THE CAR. I AM DILIGENT WITH PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE & REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS AN ISOLATED CONDITION WITH THE OEM BULBS AS THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL IN THE SAME MOMENT.

Summary

MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, NEW BATTERY DRAINING SO QUICKLY , THE VEHICLE SHAKING WHILE IDLE THEN SHUTS OFF. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ADDED TO THE ENGINE STALL RECALL EVEN WITH THESE PROBLEMS REPLICATING WHAT MITSUBISHI IDENTIFIES IN THERE PAST RECALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE MACANICS OR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTERS CANNOT IDENTIFY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BUT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A GOOD WHILE OR MAYBE A FEW HOURS THE CAR COULD JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE IN A HIGHWAY WHICH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME ENDANGERING ME AND MY FAMILY. I WRITE TO NHTSA TODAY SO THAT MY VEHICLE AS URGENTLY AS POSSIBLE CAN BE INCLUDED IN A INVESTIGATION FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE INCLUDED IN MITSUBISHI'S RECALL.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR FROM A SLOWER ENTRANCE SPEED TO A HIGHWAY AND AFTER GETTING UP TO SPEED THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO REV AT HIGHER RPM UNTIL I AM OFF THE THROTTLE COMPLETELY. THEN AFTER REAPPLYING THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SHIFT DOWN. NO MATTER HOW LIGHT OR STEADY THE THROTTLE, EVEN BARELY TOUCHING THROTTLE AT ALL, IT SEEMS TO STAY IN "PASSING GEAR". THIS HAS THE CVT TRANMISSION AND IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS UNTIL THE LAST SERVICING OF FLUID CHANGE IN THE DIFFS/TRANNY. CURRENTLY HAVE 77K MILES. LAST SERVICE WAS AT 2K. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR NEXT OIL CHANGE AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT

Summary

THE VEHICLE WON'T START. BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING, I HAVE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH A CHARGER EACH TIME. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL THAT CONTINUOUSLY IS DRYING THE BATTERY. HAD IT CHECKED A YEAR AGO WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD OPT TO HAVE THEM INSTALL IN A TRICKLE CHARGER TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, OF COURSE AT MY EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 8,000 MILES PRESENTLY. WHEN PURCHASED NEW IT HAD 300 MILES. NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, IF THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DRAIN I FEEL IT HAS AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT NOT JUST A BATTERY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO.

Summary

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR (BOUGHT IT MARCH OF 2018 WITH ONLY 12,046 MILES). SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES ON THE DRIVER SIDE (WHICH IS CURRENTLY BLOWN NOW, WHICH WILL MAKE A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES ONCE I REPLACE IT). ONCE I REPLACE THE BULB ONE SIDE, THE BULB GOES OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE ABOUT A WEEK LATER. A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE THOUGHT A BULB WOULD GO OUT, AND IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. I WAS ADVISED THAT MAYBE IT WAS CONDENSATION, BUT THERE IS NO CONDENSATION. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING, MY RADIO CONSOLE TURNS OFF AND RESTARTS AS IF I AM JUST STARTING THE VEHICLE UP. AROUND THE TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, A HEADLIGHT BULB USUALLY BLOWS OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI, WHICH I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HEARD OF THIS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT UNDER MY OWN RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS WHERE OWNERS OF OUTLANDERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES.
