This happens almost all the time - when driving at city street speed of 25 mph and under my car shakes so much and does not accelerate and feels like it is going to shut down. On 3 occasions i was rear ended because of this and one time was with a huge sanitation truck with my children inside the car. I have taken this car to the dealer and the mitsubishi dealer to be looked at and help to no avail it still does it. I have reported this to mitsubishi motors and was given a case number but to date no one has contacted me nor helped me. I am scared for the safety of my family and myself - it is a very scary situation and i just bought this car about a year ago. Help me because no one else does.

Car during acceleration feels very jerky, safety issue as during turns if acceleration it might jerk make it feel a bit unknown of what speed it might be. additionally such jerkiness might cause driver to be kicked back into seat and head rest potentially causing injury. Feel like it might be CVT slipping at times.

Each time for the last year and a half that I have taken my car in for service or just stopped in and showed them that my radio is saying overheated current, they would test it and say that they couldn't recreate the error despite me showing that it would not connect my phone to the car or charge. I also reported having a random warning that my car was unleveled when driving and they said the computer shows no errors. When I last took my car in for an oil change 1/30/26 I had a break check done because my brakes acted like they didn't want to stop and were making a sound. They told me that my breaks and rotors were find and probably needed to be washed. The sound is louder now so i went to schedule my oil change and make the reports again to find out that the company closed down and there is no dealer close to my location. I filed a CFPB complaint due to the Mitsubishi telling me there is nothing they can do.

Entire engine and electrical system failure not corrected with new battery or $30,000 mi. service. Once I turn car off, everything freezes up and won’t start again. Windows, steering, starter, everything locks up. Had to tow it to service 2 times in 3 weeks and they claim they can’t find problem. Dangerous!

Car suddenly freezes and no system works. Won’t start, shift, whole electric system gone. Happened several times. Very dangerous and dealer has no idea what’s wrong. Can’t get anyone at Mitsubishi to respond. Only had car 6 months and it has $36,000 miles.

Whenever I was attempting to pull out into traffic the Outlander had little power to the point where in the middle of the turn it hesitated to accelerate so much that I was afraid I would get hit so I had no choice but to swerve over to the shoulder to avoid a collision.I took it to two different Mitsubishi dealers and were told by both that they could not find any problems with the transmission even though I know what I have been through with the lack of power ,hesitating, and noises that I have recorded on my phone coming from the transmission when I change gears.

In 2020 I got a recall for engine support from Mitsubishi. We took it in and told me that the support was find that I didn’t need to be replace even tho the recall called for it. They ended up putting rust paint on the support. 4 weeks ago that part broke on my wife when she was driving down the road. The steering wheel was taken out of my wife’s hand while driving. She was able to get the off the road safely. But sprained her wrist. When I found the broken part on the car. I call Mitsubishi themself. When I reported these issue, I was told that someone would be coming to my house to look at the car. I signed a form for them to do that. And for the to read the computer on my car. That was 4 weeks ago. I have emailed them and called them. And no one knows what I’m talking about our replying to my email. And on top of it all we are missing work, at least one day a week because of this.

Front impact with another vehicle airbags didn't open

On september 2019 around 10:45 pm, mitsubishi outlander sport 2016 was the cause of garage fire at my house. The fire started in the engine /battery area after i had tried to give a jump start a day before but the car did not start. Fire was mostly contained under the hood. Since 2016, the car was mostly garaged and sparingly driven and had very very low miles not enough to get first service if i recall correctly. The interior still smells fresh car. I had registered the car with dmv as non operative status and did not renew my insurance as i was not driving the vehicle for quite some time. Even when i drove couple of time, mitsubishi smelled like rotten eggs especially when i would start or park after a short drive. I asked the local dealer and was not told to ignore it. I have few documents from dmv, insurance and photos that i will attach. I need to be totally reimbursed for the price of the car. I do have few loan payment receipts , if needed to prove. After the fire, neither home nor auto insurance will cover the damage of the car. The burnt car is sitting in my driveway. Please help asap.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 mitsubishi outlander sport. The contact stated that the engine failed. The contact noticed smoke coming from the engine and the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure was experienced numerous times. The vehicle was taken to jeff d'ambrosio mitsubishi (1223 lancaster avenue downingtown, pa 19335) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was consuming oil prematurely, which caused the engine to stall. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 35,000.

Driver proceeded to stop the vehicle in traffic and the brakes failed and did not engage. The vehicle did not come to a stop and hit the car in front of it. According to an of-duty police officer directly behind my vehicle, the brake lights were lit up as if the brakes were functioning but no slowing of the vehicle occurred. *tr

I was driving on the highway when an active stability control service warning displayed on the dashboard. It was coupled with the check engine light and immediately caused my car to seize up making me momentarily lose control of the vehicle. As i regained control the vehicle continued to resist any acceleration while the rpms would frequently spike. I also lost anti-lock brake functionality with no dashboard warning. Through my mechanic i later found out the car was forcing itself into "limp mode" because the engine air flow sensor was giving a faulty reading. All of this put my car into conditions for a crash had i not acted quickly to avoid it. It also created a repair bill that was unnecessary as this is apparently part of a known technical service bulletin tsb-13-13-008. I find it inappropriate and irresponsible of mitsubishi to not have alerted me to the defect in the air flow sensor and filter box. It caused a needless dangerous driving condition and excess repairs.

Entire engine and electrical system failure not corrected with new battery or $30,000 mi. service. Once I turn car off, everything freezes up and won’t start again. Windows, steering, starter, everything locks up. Had to tow it to service 2 times in 3 weeks and they claim they can’t find problem. Dangerous!

I have had multiple issues with this SUV. The main issue I am writing this for is because the car was hit stopped at a red light by another car going over 40 mph. The car rolled back then slammed into my car again going just as fast. The airbags did not deploy and the seatbelts did not lock. The impact actually broke the seats the passenger and I were sitting in. There were extensive injuries that happened because of this. The SUV was deemed a total loss because of the extensive damage done to the car. There were no warning messages, no recalls, etc. The SUV was inspected by a mechanic and insurance company and both said that the airbags should have gone off and the seatbelts should have locked based on the amount of damage to the SUV. I also took this SUV into the Mitsubishi dealership for all services/maintenance and nothing ever came up about any issues.

I was parking my car and my foot was firmly on the brake. Just as i was going to shift my car into park, the engine revved and the car surged forward i was unable to stop the car, in spite of braking. The car jumped the curb in the parking lot and ended up stopping on top of a landscaping boulder. This stopped the car from moving forward as the front of the car was on top of the rock, but the engine was still revving as i put the car in park and turned off the ignition. Transmission pan and engine cradle damaged by collision. Had the landscaping boulder not been there, the car would have continued into the building in front of me.

I am unsure of the proper name of the component with issues. There are several little issues but the main is, I believe it would be a software issue... Basically, on several different occasions (4) while driving at 60 mph and over, the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off completely with no warning. The one incident which was the very first while I was driving less than 1 month ago. I was on a two lane road/freeway with another passenger in the back seat going somewhere between 60 and 65 mph. The car went completely black and everything shut down the entire vehicle, engine and all. I was in complete shock and end up scraping my front left rim on the curb I was next to, damaging the vehicle as a result. I am just recently out of my warranty and I do not have the funds to have it looked at just yet. I did inform the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from. I originally thought it was something maybe I had done to cause it. I also was completely unaware of any recalls on several of the year and model of my vehicle. When I looked up recalls on them, my vehicle has very similar issues to a lot of other cars like It that have already been recalled. I am upset because if I had known there were potential safety issues with these particular make and model car I would have not wanted to finance it, especially at the price point I have. It seems that several thousand were recalled a few months before I financed mine. Why wouldn’t I be notified that there could be potential safety issues when I was looking at the vehicle for purchase? Now here we are and I don’t think it is a safe vehicle. I need to do something.. I am not sure I want to keep it honestly ! What can I do? Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

Respectfully, we bought our brand new 2016 outlander from the dealership this may. My wife rear ended a car less than a month later on the highway. She said the car didn't stop when she hit the brakes and that the brakes don't work. The car was repaired by geico for $20k damage paid and she said she wasn't driving it anymore. She had multiple injuries from the airbags and saw the doctor. After repairs, we ended up switching cars and the outlander became my car and i noticed that it seemed very heavy like it was surging forward and resisted stopping. Two months later i changed the oil on the other car, so i asked her to take the outlander just for the day. She didn't want to drive it, but i said just be very careful. She had a second accident that day on the highway causing $10k damages for repair and the air bags never deployed this time and her head, chest and knees hit hard against the steering wheel and dashboard and her back snapped and she is seeing a chiropractor now for the pain. She is a good driver and has never hit anyone from behind and now has done so two times in two months? Again she told me the car didn't stop when she stepped on the brakes. Last week we received a factory recall notice in the mail for the accelerator. I took the car in this saturday as soon as possible to have it repaired. When i drove the car after the repair and applied the brakes now in comparison to before it stops very well and is totally different. I believe mitsubishi's defective acceleration system is the cause of my wife's injuries to her head, back and knees. This accident is not my wife's fault at all. I am sure that this defect in the accelerator system was the cause of the accidents and i am asking the nhtsa to please rectify this with mitsubishi for us to find cause to be placed on mitsubishi's faulty vehicle not us.

On march 6, 2018 i was involved in a crash. I rear ended another vehicle in slow moving bumper to bumper traffic. When i hit the brake the car began to slide straight forward. No pulsation from the anti-lock brakes. I was and am very surprised that my car did not stop in time. In the interim i settled my claim with my insurance company. On 3/29/2018. On 3/30/2018 i received a letter from mitsubishi telling me of an issue they call a "parking break" problem. I have asked several mechanics about the possible need to replace "the piston assembly of the rear brake caliper will be replaced with a countermeasure unit". I have bee assured this could have caused a failure to the anti-lock braking system. Because i no longer own the car i have notified allstate insurance of the present recall. If possible this should be an urgent recall. Sadly i have lost thousands of dollars and a record of 36 years of accident free driving. Please investigate

I purchased my vehicle 11/3/19, traded in my 2016 mitsubishi for 2019 mitsubishi outlander. 3 days later my lights went out and i took the car to victory mitsubishi dealership in the bronx and they said it was a loose fuse. They tighted the fuse and my lights came on. On 11/26/19, i was on the cross bronx high way in traffic and drove but could not stop the car. My brakes failed. I got off the highway and called the police and geico. The police did not come and i had the car towed to juniors automotive center in the bronx. My geico adjuster will inspect the car on 12/4/19. I should not be going through this. I know my car will eventually be repaired but i do not feel safe driving the car.

12/08/22 My breaks malfunctioned prior to impact i could not stop and i rear ended another car the other persons car wasn't nearly as bad as mine ..my outlander however is totaled. even though i was only doing 30. they were replaced in September 2022 as well but the problem had happened a few times before but i didn't know if there was a recall on it until now . and i have also had my engine stall on a few occasions for no reason. im very disappointed . had my breaks not malfunctioned id still have my car

My 17-year old son was stopped at a stop sign. He waited until any oncoming cars had passed before he started to move out of the stop. He turned right out of the stop and onto the cross street. After only a few feet, my son notice the front of the vehicle was angled toward the curb & he tried to pull the wheel out of the angle and stepped on the brakes. The steering wheel would not turn AT ALL & the brakes didn't do anything. My son stepped on the brake pedal two more times and the vehicle DID NOT slow down or respond to this. The car went into the front steps of our local Police Station. Because he had about 40 feet from stop sign to impact, we estimate he had about 2 seconds to respond to this situation & could not have exceeded 10-15mph in that time. Upon impact, the air bag did not deploy. There was minimal property damage to the building, but the car was totaled. The entire front end was pushed in. My son was able to exit the vehicle and luckily did not have any sever injuries. We are writing this complaint because of existing safety recalls to the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport for all the years surrounding our 2017 model. These complaints all note engine stalling after complete stops. The engine stalls lead to unresponsive steering wheels, brakes that don't work, and airbags that don't deploy. We want this situation investigated as well.

Struck in right front quarter panel by pickup truck going 70mph which totalled my vehicle and caused injuries to myself and grandson but no airbags deployed. Deployment would have reduced our injuries.

I was recently in a wreck and my cars air bags did not deploy and my seat belts did not lock in. I was sitting stationary as the traffic in front of me had stopped to allow someone to turn. All of a sudden a car smashed into my rear end. All passengers in the car and myself were thrown forward. The seat belts did not lock us in safely. I hit my steering wheel and left panel near windshield. The passenger hit the sun visor above his head. The back driver passenger was jolted upward hitting the ceiling and drivers seat. The back passenger on the other side was jolted up hitting the ceiling and passenger seat. The impact was hard enough to move my car 33 feet forward and into another car. On impact my air bags did not deploy which caused us to all go airborne in the car hitting ceiling, seats, and equipment. The rear passenger eyeglasses landed in the 3rd row seating so the impact was hard enough that some safety devices should have worked properly and sufficiently.

I was returning home from work and was at a stop sign waiting to turn left. Cross traffic does not stop. When believing i was clear i began my left turn when a car crossed in front of mine at a high rate of speed. I attempted to stop but the two cars collided and the front end of my car was completely torn off and my front hood was buckled back towards the windshield. When emergency response arrived, they felt very strongly that the air bag should have deployed and they moved me to the back seat for further observation because they were afraid the air bag may still deploy and cause further injury. I was subsequently transported to a local hospital for evaluation and after testing and observation was released with moderate back pain and mild to moderate neck pain.

I was waiting in red light between sunrise blvd and us1 when a vehicle in wrong way crash my vehicle in the front. The wheel air bag deployed wrong. I saw the right part of the air bag flat while the left part was fine. It caused injures in my chin and tongue, 5 ribs, in the right part of my body, broken and sternum broken too. Causing possible cinturilla in my heart and bruises in my lunges.

On 05AUG25, my wife was involved in a frontal collision while driving our 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The vehicle struck another vehicle at an estimated speed of over 30 mph, resulting in significant damage to the front passenger side, including deformation of the hood and front quarter panel. Despite the severity of the impact, no airbags deployed. My wife was properly restrained and sustained visible bruising across her torso. She is currently in her second trimester of pregnancy. The seatbelt force alone presented a serious safety risk to her and our unborn child. There were no airbag system warning lights prior to the collision, and the SRS appeared to be functioning normally. The failure of the airbags to deploy under these conditions indicates a potential defect in the supplemental restraint system. This appears to be a dangerous failure of the airbag system. We are requesting a formal investigation into the SRS components and crash sensor functionality of this vehicle model.

This happens almost all the time - when driving at city street speed of 25 mph and under my car shakes so much and does not accelerate and feels like it is going to shut down. On 3 occasions i was rear ended because of this and one time was with a huge sanitation truck with my children inside the car. I have taken this car to the dealer and the mitsubishi dealer to be looked at and help to no avail it still does it. I have reported this to mitsubishi motors and was given a case number but to date no one has contacted me nor helped me. I am scared for the safety of my family and myself - it is a very scary situation and i just bought this car about a year ago. Help me because no one else does.

On friday, november 18, 2016, i was driving my wife's 2014 mitsubishi outlander sport. As i was pulling into a parking spot at the harris teeter grocery store located at 2019 s glenburnie road, new bern, nc. I was pulling into a parking spot on the left. Therefore, i had my foot on the brake to slowly pull into the spot. As i continued to move in a forward motion with my foot on the brake to come to a stop, the car suddenly lurched forward. I had not pulled completely into the spot at the time, so my foot would have still been on the brake. When our car lurched it then hit the car in front of us. The left side of our car impacted the left side of the car parked in the spot in front of the spot we were pulling into causing that car to roll out of its parking spot into the middle of the aisle in the parking lot. The car that was hit had quite a bit of damage to the front left fender of the car and the car had to be towed as it could not be driven. Our car's left fender also suffered damage and the radiator was busted. Our car also had to be towed from the lot. We are having the vehicle checked to see what made it lurch. And honestly, i will be afraid to drive the vehicle when it is fixed if they for some reason say they don't find a problem with it. I am uploading pictures of the damage done to both cars. I also received a citation for the accident and now have to go to court to clear this up. I will also be filing this complaint directly with mitsubishi motors. This was the first occurrence, but i wanted to report this before a situation like this happens again, possibly causing more injury or death.

I was parking my car and my foot was firmly on the brake. Just as i was going to shift my car into park, the engine revved and the car surged forward i was unable to stop the car, in spite of braking. The car jumped the curb in the parking lot and ended up stopping on top of a landscaping boulder. This stopped the car from moving forward as the front of the car was on top of the rock, but the engine was still revving as i put the car in park and turned off the ignition. Transmission pan and engine cradle damaged by collision. Had the landscaping boulder not been there, the car would have continued into the building in front of me.

I'm backing up on a reverse mode and a slightly elevated rv parking to get some heavy items next to my drive way, i slowly moving and try to aligned it to the pavement i notice the backup camera didn't work and press my feet to the brake then after i release it accelerate past backward hitting the wooden fench and zero ground the 6 foot shed, causing the back body part of the car wreck and i end up on a 3 bricks high planter. I have some history in the past that the following day that i got the car from the dealer i returned it to them because i heared a popping sound on the engine part when i stop the engine, they said its just normal but with all the cars that i had i never experience this so unusual and the static on the car seat everytime i come out of the car i even transfer the static feel when somebody touch me i and after a week they put leather seat it is still the same what i did i put a rug on my seat that lessen the static. Everytime i bring the car on all the complaints they just ignore it and telling me its just normal and because i never bought any brand new car except mitsubishi since 1997 so my trust is still there until this crash happend to me and first time in my entire life its good thing it happens with in my property what if this malfunction happens outside and i hurt somebody that accident was traumatic to me i don't want to drive that car anymore i don't know what will happen next. I file complain with them, then after 3 weeks they don't want to take responsibility and advise me to just claim accident on my insurance. I ask the service manager to please email me a copy of their investigation and a written report on their advise on me. Michael of mitsubishi anaheim is hesitant to give me any written report on the test they've done and advice they want me to do. *tr

I was driving on the highway when an active stability control service warning displayed on the dashboard. It was coupled with the check engine light and immediately caused my car to seize up making me momentarily lose control of the vehicle. As i regained control the vehicle continued to resist any acceleration while the rpms would frequently spike. I also lost anti-lock brake functionality with no dashboard warning. Through my mechanic i later found out the car was forcing itself into "limp mode" because the engine air flow sensor was giving a faulty reading. All of this put my car into conditions for a crash had i not acted quickly to avoid it. It also created a repair bill that was unnecessary as this is apparently part of a known technical service bulletin tsb-13-13-008. I find it inappropriate and irresponsible of mitsubishi to not have alerted me to the defect in the air flow sensor and filter box. It caused a needless dangerous driving condition and excess repairs.

Car during acceleration feels very jerky, safety issue as during turns if acceleration it might jerk make it feel a bit unknown of what speed it might be. additionally such jerkiness might cause driver to be kicked back into seat and head rest potentially causing injury. Feel like it might be CVT slipping at times.

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 mitsubishi outlander. While driving approximately 45 mph, a pebble struck the passenger side of the windshield and fractured the entire front windshield. The contact called bill holt mitsubishi (1215 cobb pkwy s, marietta, ga 30060, 404-890-5100) who referred the contact to safelight auto for the repair. The vehicle was repaired. While the vehicle was at a car wash, the sun roof suddenly shattered inwardly with a loud banging noise. The contact sustained injuries to the left forearm and right ear. The passenger sustained injuries to the head and forehead. Medical attention was received. The contact watched the surveillance footage at the car wash and there was no evidence of any impact towards the sun roof from an object. The contact called the same dealer and was referred to sun roof express who then referred them to auto trim plus for the repair. The sun roof was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and opened case number: 1/274220711. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

Back up camera view is not clear, unreliable sixty percent of the time. Not able to see pedestrians or objects clearly or the distance from the vehicle. Twenty percent of the times it is clouded so dark it useless. Twenty percent of the time it is clear. Safety of others is at risk. Problem was reported to dealer twice at the location I purchased the vehicle. They ruled it off. The problem was reported to the manufacturer with no return call or response. The problem was reported to a different dealer which informed me that the manufacturer is not doing any repairs. The vehicle is available for inspection anytime. I have cleaned the camera lens and monitor screen with no good results. This is the second vehicle of this style from the same manufacturer I have owned. The first vehicle had no issues and both vehicles were shown to the dealer service department as well as sales crew.

Failure of driver side exterior mirror. 3 years after purchase of vehicle the mirror would no longer move in and out. Dealer replaced with OEM quality mirror July 2021. 2 years later (August 2023)mirror now has the exact same malfunction/defect. Mitsubishi is unable to tell me why the failure happened in the first place or why it has again happened. Mitsubishi refuses to take any action to fully rectify this issue. They only suggest again replacing the mirror. As the mirror is part of a side vehicle warning system the malfunction creates the possibility of a side collision with another vehicle.

The contact owns a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, it was discovered that the front windshield wipers were inoperable. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

Windshield wipers are not working at all. They were working only on high and now have quit working entirely. The wiper arms are stripped.

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.

While driving down the interstate in the rain, my wipers discontinued working. There is no blockage and the vehicle is less than a year old

My windshield wipers have malfunctioned. They will work for a second than malfunction again. This is creating hazardous conditions that will cause an accident when it is raining.

Wife was driving her 2016 mitsubishi outlander from bisbee to sierra vista, az on sr 92 when all of a sudden she heard an explosion. She immediately ducked thinking that someone had shot at her. A nearby motorist was pointing to her and her car. She didn't know what to make of it, so she pulled over and examined her car and noticed a huge hole in her car sunroof. She had called me (husband) and told me what happened and advised her to continue to drive home slowly, so she activated her emergency lights and drove slow. Then shortly, she was pulled over by a cochise county deputy and asked her if she was in a car accident and told the deputy she was not involved in a car accident and told him what happened and was taken back by the sunroof damage. The deputy advised her she couldn't drive the vehicle because all the glass was falling onto the roadway. She said she would call me to get a tow truck and said he would follow her into town and said to go straight home in which she did right away.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 mitsubishi outlander. While driving various speeds, the parking brake handle was levered, but failed to stick. The contact mentioned that there was a clicking noise coming from the parking brake handle. In addition, the windshield wipers were hesitant and failed to operate in a timely manner. The contact also noticed water leaking from the windshield wipers. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 18v103000 (visibility) and 18v070000 (parking brake). The approximate failure mileage was 41,892.

I was traveling on a city street. A vehicle pulled out in front of me. I hit them. I was going approximately 35 mph. My car has been totaled. The airbag did not deploy. I have contacted mitsubishi motors and they gave me this contact information.

Respectfully, we bought our brand new 2016 outlander from the dealership this may. My wife rear ended a car less than a month later on the highway. She said the car didn't stop when she hit the brakes and that the brakes don't work. The car was repaired by geico for $20k damage paid and she said she wasn't driving it anymore. She had multiple injuries from the airbags and saw the doctor. After repairs, we ended up switching cars and the outlander became my car and i noticed that it seemed very heavy like it was surging forward and resisted stopping. Two months later i changed the oil on the other car, so i asked her to take the outlander just for the day. She didn't want to drive it, but i said just be very careful. She had a second accident that day on the highway causing $10k damages for repair and the air bags never deployed this time and her head, chest and knees hit hard against the steering wheel and dashboard and her back snapped and she is seeing a chiropractor now for the pain. She is a good driver and has never hit anyone from behind and now has done so two times in two months? Again she told me the car didn't stop when she stepped on the brakes. Last week we received a factory recall notice in the mail for the accelerator. I took the car in this saturday as soon as possible to have it repaired. When i drove the car after the repair and applied the brakes now in comparison to before it stops very well and is totally different. I believe mitsubishi's defective acceleration system is the cause of my wife's injuries to her head, back and knees. This accident is not my wife's fault at all. I am sure that this defect in the accelerator system was the cause of the accidents and i am asking the nhtsa to please rectify this with mitsubishi for us to find cause to be placed on mitsubishi's faulty vehicle not us.

I purchased my vehicle 11/3/19, traded in my 2016 mitsubishi for 2019 mitsubishi outlander. 3 days later my lights went out and i took the car to victory mitsubishi dealership in the bronx and they said it was a loose fuse. They tighted the fuse and my lights came on. On 11/26/19, i was on the cross bronx high way in traffic and drove but could not stop the car. My brakes failed. I got off the highway and called the police and geico. The police did not come and i had the car towed to juniors automotive center in the bronx. My geico adjuster will inspect the car on 12/4/19. I should not be going through this. I know my car will eventually be repaired but i do not feel safe driving the car.

The vehicle was traveling at approximately 63 mph on a rural blacktop, when a white tail deer ran into the side of the vehicle where the drivers side front and rear door meet. The collision caused both door windows to shatter, and the doors are dented so bad they cannot be opened. The side airbags on the vehicle did not deploy even after taking a direct hit from the deer.

Front impact with another vehicle airbags didn't open

My mitsubishi outlander sport has a keyless start. There is no mechanism that prevents the vehicle accidentally being turned off while still in drive or reverse. On 5/30/19 at approximately 9:20 pm, i made a run to my local rite-aid. I turned of the ignition, but forgot to put it in park. I exited the store after approximately 5 minutes to find my car missing from the parking lot. I initially thought it had been stolen. The police found my vehicle after it had rolled out of the parking lot, into traffic and ended up crashing in a ditch. It had to be hauled out and sustained significant damage and may be a total loss. I can only be grateful that it did not collide into another vehicle,l or hit a pedestrian. This accident could have easily killed someone. There is no logical reason that a safety mechanism should not be a standard requirement in all push button start vehicles to prevent such a tragedy. The car rental i am currently using is a 2019 escalade. I tested the remote start in the escalade and no matter what gear i am in when i shut off the engine, it automatically defaults to park. It can be done and should be required!

I went to turn on my call and my back window on the passenger side shattered. It didn't have physical damage to it and it shatter in and out it was like it wasn't installed correctly or something. It damaged my pain on the door and the inside plastic as well.

The service airbag soon light is on. When taken to a mechanic it doesn't show anything in the computer. The middle row middle and right side seatbelts are different sizes and passengers get stuck if they put the latch in the wrong one. Running board clips passenger side keep breaking.
