When visiting local dealership for a state inspection it was found the rear subframe of my 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2WD Model XLS has rusted completely through. I an internet search it was found that this was a common occurrence and a highly dangerous issue and it would not pass for a safety inspection. It appears from the number of complaints posted on various message boards it is widely known that this inferior component exists in a number of years for this and other models in the Mitsubishi brand. While its was noted in posting that the Mitsubishi dealership recognized this defect as a recall item, it was not showing up in the NTSB safety recall list for my VIN [XXX] . Please advise as to the investigation into this serious component failure and the recall status via return email.

SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, MY STEERING WHEEL HAS INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL OUTAGES. THIS EFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL SET BUTTON, THE VOICE CONNECT BUTTON. MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW GETS JERKY WITH AN UP OR DOWN MOTION CAUSING THE WINDOW TO COME OUT OF ITS POSITION AND GET STUCK. MY FRONT INSIDE LIGHTS EITHER WORK OR DON'T, DEPENDING ON THEIR MOOD. MY SPEAKERS COME IN AND OUT ALSO WHEN THEY WANT- IF ITS A SONG THEY LIKE, THEY'LL WORK. ALSO, WHEN MY CAR IS RUNNING AND IN PARK, MY REAR LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DON'T COME ON. ONCE IT IS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, THEY DO... OH AND MY WINDSHIELD CRACKS FROM UNDER THE EDGE WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE CAR? *TR
Feb 20, 2015
ALL POWER OUTLETS IN THE CAR ARE INOPERABLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER 5-6 TIMES TO HAVE THEM ALL RESET. I AM TOLD IT IS FROM USING A PHONE CHARGER (AND I HAVE EVEN TRIED NEW/DIFFERENT PHONE CHARGERS AFTER EACH INCIDENT). ON THE LAST VISIT, I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM, AND THE EASIEST FIX IS NOT TO USE A PHONE CHARGER, AND TO USE IT ONLY AS A CIGARETTE LIGHTER. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A CAR BEING UNABLE TO HANDLE A PHONE CHARGER. TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER OVER AND OVER IS BECOMING INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. *TR

ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 8 2017 MY CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING SIMPLE MY HUSBAND COULD FIX. HE LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT. HE FOUND THAT MY FRONT CROSS MEMBERS HAVE COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. I LOOKED UP RECALLS ON MY CAR TO SEE IF THERE WAS ONE AND I FOUND IT. IT SAYS THAT THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT GETTING THIS FIXED OR IF I AM GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY MYSELF.

I have been having problems with the wheel turning towards the left. Once I went to Firestone and got tires I was told the my suspension is very loose. It is getting more hard to control the steering.
Dec 19, 2022
Our 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander has several rotted out holes the size of half dollar coins in our crossmember which is connected to the control arms and it is making a loud banging sound when we hit any bumps.
Aug 30, 2021
LEFT FRONT OF VEHICLE IS VIBRATING/ JERKING STEERING WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE WITH WHAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING RUBBING HARD ENOUGH TO JERK CAR SIDE TO SIDE. MAKING A BANGING NOISE WHEN TURNING AS THOUGH FRONT SUSPENSION IS BROKEN. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I PURCHASED THE OUTLANDER FROM A DEALERSHIP USED AND WAS TOLD FIXING THE RECALLS WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AFTER SIGNING PAPERWORK. UNKNOWN HISTORY AS I WAS LIED TO ABOUT ISSUES AND SALESMAN WAS FIRED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE.

MECHANIC SAID MY AXLE BOOT LOCK AND STRUT SPRING BROKE AND I NEED A NEW PASSENGER FRONT AXLE COIL SPRING. LOUD BANG WOKE US UP WHILE CAR WAS IN DRIVEWAY. RELATED TO RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 16V458000? ALSO POWER STEERING LEAKING EVERY TIME WE FILL IT, THAT ALSO MIGHT HAVE A RECALL FROM WHAT I SAW. MITSUBISHI DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR BUT SEEING SIMILARITIES WITH WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT ANPPED

TOOK MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER XLS V-6 TO DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL RECALLS INCLUDING RECALL NO. 16V-458 / SR-16-003 ON MAY 05, 2018. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD IT DID NOT REQUIRE THE CROSS MEMBER REPLACEMENT AND THE ANTI CORROSION SPRAY WAS PERFORMED. AROUND 7:00 PM EDT SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 2019 WHILE ENTERING A EXIT LANE ON US 119 NORTHBOUND AT THE GREEN ROAD EXIT, MY CAR MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND STARTING PULLING VERY HARD TO THE LEFT AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10-15 FEET. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ENTERING THE TURN LANE AND WAS SLOWING DOWN OR IT COULD HAVE EASILY FORCE ME INTO THE MEDIUM DIVIDER OR EVEN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD AND PUT MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS VERY CONCERNED AS I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WITH ME AND IT IS A VERY CONGESTED AREA. I TRIED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF I COULD DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG. THE DRIVER DOOR HAD TO BE FORCED OPEN AS I LATER DISCOVERED AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE THAT THE FROM LEFT FENDER HAD BEEN PUSHED BACK INTO THE DOOR AREA BY THE FRONT TIRE. AFTER A QUICK INSPECTION IT APPEARED THE CONTROL ARM BROKE. AFTER REMOVING THE TIRE, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE CROSS MEMBER HAD SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO EXTREME CORROSION CAUSING THE LOSS OF CONTROL AND ABRUPT STOP. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAD TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD MINE DID NOT NEED REPLACED. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE TO SHOW THE MISSING AND BROKEN CROSS MEMBER. THERE IS NO WAY THIS CORRODED TO THE FAILURE POINT SINCE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS ALLEGEDLY COMPLETED. FURTHER MORE, IF TREATING THE AREA WAS SUPPOSEDLY SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT FURTHER CORROSION (AS OPPOSED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CROSS MEMBER), THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. THEREFORE, EVERY CROSS MEMBER SHOULD BE REPLACED!

SIDE VIEW MIRRORS I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN, AVERAGE HEIGHT 5'3". I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI MOTORS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ON MY CAR, TO WHICH THEY RESPONDED 'THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS MEET U.S. SAFETY STANDARDS'. I HAVE BEEN TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER'S OVERSIZED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, BOTH ON THE DRIVER AS WELL AS PASSENGER SIDES. THEY ARE NOT ONLY AWKWARDLY PLACED, HEIGHTWISE, BUT ARE ALSO HINGED IN A WAY THAT CREATES HUGE BLIND SPOTS ON BOTH SIDES. THEY OBSCURE MY VISION, CREATING BLIND SPOTS WHEN CHANGING LANES, WHEN MAKING TURNS, AT PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS. I HAVE TO STOP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO CLEAR BOTH SIDES, IN ADDITION, I HAVE TO RAISE MYSELF IN MY SEAT TO CLEAR THE HEIGHT OF THE MIRRORS. I HAVE HAD INNUMERABLE 'NEAR MISSES' BECAUSE THEY BLOCK MY VIEW OF APPROACHING CARS TO MY RIGHT/LEFT. THE REASON I FINALLY AM WRITING TO YOU IS BECAUSE I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN A FEW WEEKS AGO, DUE TO THE MIRROR BLOCKING MY VISION OF THE INDIVIDUAL CROSSING. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OFF BECAUSE THEY EXTEND SO FAR FROM THE MAINFRAME OF THE CAR, CAUSING ME HUGE REPAIR COSTS. I REQUEST YOU ADVISE ME HOW TO GET MITSUBISHI'S ATTENTION TO REMEDY THIS HUGE PROBLEM, AND HOW I CAN PURSUE THIS MATTER SO THAT THIS DESIGN FLAW IS RECTIFIED. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER REPORTS AND THEY PROVIDED ME NAMES OF SEVERAL AGENCIES THAT I AM CONTACTING AS WELL. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEATER SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT MY CAR. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING DEALS WITH THE POOR INSIDE HEATING OF MY VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, ONCE MY VEHICLE IS WARMED UP AND I AM DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD, I AM ABLE TO FEEL VERY HOT AIR COME OUT OF THE VENTS. HOWEVER, ANYTIME I STOP SOMEWHERE SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE HEAT IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEARS AND FEELS LIKE FRIDGE AIR COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. ONCE I REV THE ENGINE UP, THE HOT AIR RETURNS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BECAUSE IF I AM STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A WINTER STORM, I DO NOT BELIEVE MY CAR WILL PUT OUT ENOUGH HOT AIR TO KEEP ME WARM. ALSO, FORGET ABOUT TRYING TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS. IF IT IS AROUND 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I START MY VEHICLE AND LET IT WARM UP, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE IS 100% WARMED UP, IT DOES NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH HOT AIR TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD. THE AIR IS NO WHERE WARM ENOUGH TO EVEN MELT THE SNOW AND ICE LET ALONE THE FOG. BIG SAFETY PROBLEM IF I HAVE TO STOP SOMEWHERE AND I AM UNABLE TO DEFROST THE FOG ON MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE MITSUBISHI SERVICE CENTERS AND THEY HAVE TRIED SEVERAL COMPUTER UPDATES, TESTS, AND TRIED REPLACING THE ENGINE HEATER DOOR, WITH NO REAL OUTCOME. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE WAY SOME OF THE 2007 MODELS WERE DESIGNED. THE SERVICE REP SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS RUNNING THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE OR DO ANYTHING TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT ADMIT TO THE DESIGN FLAW. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED AND ALSO FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE DURING THE WINTER. *TR

The contact's son-in-law owns a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that the vehicle had been gifted to her grandson by his father, however when the vehicle was being inspected the contact noticed that the rear tail lights had not illuminated when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed and was not repaired. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V564000 (Exterior Lighting), however the vehicle was not part of the VIN selection. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER LS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED FINE. I HAD TO LEAVE THEM ON WHEN I WAS CROSSING OTHER CARS, WHICH CAUSED THE OTHER DRIVERS TO FURIOUSLY FLASH THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON AND OFF AT ME. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER WHO FIRST CHECKED THE FUSES, THEN TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH NEXT TO THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH DID NOT HELP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE SWITCH SINCE IT DID NOT DO THE TRICK. ON A THURSDAY MORNING, I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM FOR AT LEAST ONE DAY, POSSIBLY TWO SO THAT THEY COULD DO AN "IN-DEPTH" INVESTIGATION AND CHECK IF IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. I HAD TO RENT A CAR TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION. ON FRIDAY AT 5 PM, I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM AND IT HAD TO DO WITH A "SMART FUSE BOX" OR "ETACS", THAT IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND THEY DID NOT HAVE IT IN STOCK, SO I WOULD NOT GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL WEDNESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK! I ASKED HOW MUCH THE REPAIR WOULD COST AND WAS QUOTED $1,300! I SAID GIVE ME THE CAR BACK TONIGHT AND I'LL COME BACK WHEN THE PART COMES IN. WAS TOLD IT WOULD THEN COST EVEN MORE IN LABOR, BECAUSE IT WAS TAKEN APART AND WOULD NEED TO BE PUT BACK TOGETHER, THEN "OPENED UP" AGAIN! SO NOW I AM PAYING FOR THIS EXORBITANT REPAIR PLUS SEVERAL MORE DAYS FOR THE RENTAL. I SEE THAT MODELS 2009 AND UP HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND AM OUTRAGED THAT THESE TECHNICIANS DID NOT FIGURE THIS OUT IMMEDIATELY, SINCE THEY HAVE DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM BEFORE. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER AS WELL FOR THE 2007 MODELS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES OR SO ON IT AND I WAS HOPING TO DRIVE IT FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO. I WILL UPLOAD THE BILL WHEN I GET THE CAR BACK TOMORROW.

THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY RECALL NUMBER 14V365000 (RECALL DATE 06/25/2014). BUT MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT DENIED THIS IMPORTANT POWER TRAIN - TRANSFER CASE RECALL, SAYING THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY FOUR RECALLS, NOT INCLUDING THIS RECALL. THEY ALSO DO NOT HAVE ANY RECORDS ON WHERE AND WHEN THESE RECALLS WERE CORRECTED. I HAVE NEVER CONTACTED A SUCH BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 MITSUBISHI FROM QUAKERTOWN MITSUBISHI IN APRIL ON 2017. IN THE LAST MONTH MY CAR WILL BE STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION WHEN TRYING TO MOVE OUT OF PARK THE CARE WON'T MOVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY CAR LOOKED AT. WHEN I MADE THE APPOINTMENT I WAS NOT TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED A 59.95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I DID NOT PAY THE FEE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDS. THEY DID REPLACE MY WIPERS PER THE RECALL. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. I MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND STILL OWE OVER 9 THOUSAND ON THIS CAR.

WHEN PUTTING ON MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT I HEARD THIS STRANGE GRINDING NOISE FROM MY SEAT BELT. IT DID NOT SEEM TO KEEP ME SECURE IN THE SEAT. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE I MOVED FORWARD IT DID NOT LOCK LIKE IT SHOULD TO KEEP YOU IN YOUR SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW ONE. WHICH WILL RUN $491.00. MY CAR ONLY HAS 36230 MILES ON IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN. I CANNOT DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT FULLY FUNCTIONING SEAT BELTS SO I AM FORCED TO PAY THE COST. I THINK THE COMPANY SHOULD REPLACE IT SINCE THERE ARE SO FEW MILES ON THE CAR. *TR

THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER WAS A RECALL THAT I HAD DONE, THIS PAST WEEKEND I HAD MY TIRES CHANGED AND THE SHOP SHOWED ME THAT MY REAR CROSSMEMBER IS CRACKED. THE CRACK IS ALONG THE FACTORY WELDING. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS I HAD WITH THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER. IT CAUSES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS CRACKED ALONG THE FACTORY WELD WHICH SHOULD HOLD BETTER THAN IT IS. THE REAR CROSSMEMBER SHOULD BE AS WITH THE BACK... RECALLED.

DIRECT SUNLIGHT IS COMING THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER ES, YOU CAN'T READ THE DIGITAL RADIO DISPLAY OR CLOCK. THIS CAUSES A DRIVING DISTRACTION BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOOK AT THE DIGITAL RADIO DISPLAY FOR A MUCH MUCH LONGER THAN NORMAL PERIOD TO FIGURE OUT WHICH RADIO STATION THAT IS ON OR TO READ THE CLOCK. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A GREAT INCONVENIENCE, IT CAN ALSO BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER SPENDS CONSIDERABLY MORE TIME FOCUSING ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ RATHER THAN ON THE ROAD DURING DIRECT SUNLIGHT PERIODS. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS DIGITAL RADIO DISPLAY PROBLEM CAN CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT IS DISTRACTING THE DRIVER FROM FOCUSING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS AND TURNS THE DRIVER'S FOCUS TO THE RADIO BECAUSE THE DIGITAL DISPLAY IS DIFFICULT TO READ DURING DIRECT SUNLIGHT PERIODS. MITSUBISHI MOTORS WAS CONTACTED AND THEY AGREED THAT THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THEY DON'T HAVE A "FIX" FOR IT NOW. THEY TOLD ME THAT IN THE EVENT THEY COME UP WITH A "FIX", THEY WILL CONTACT ME. *JB

MY SON ONLY WEEKS AGO WAS GIVEN HIS MOTHER'S 2007 OUTLANDER AS AN UPGRADE TO HIS FORMER VEHICLE. DAYS AGO, HE FOUND PIECES OF THE SUB FRAME BREAKING OFF UNDERNEATH AFTER HEARING AN ODD NOISE DURING OPERATION. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2007 IN OMAHA, NE. MITSUBISHI'S RECALL FOR SUB FRAME CORROSION DOES NOT INCLUDE VEHICLES PURCHASED IN NEBRASKA AS IT ISN'T IN THE NARROWLY DEFINED "SALT BELT" (ALTHOUGH IOWA IS INCLUDED). IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO OMAHA, NE DURING THE WINTER YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE CITY PUTS AS MUCH SALT AND SALT BRINE ON THE ROADS AS ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE NATION--WINTER WEATHER, I.E. SNOW AND ICE-- IN OMAHA IS SEVERE. VEHICLES THAT ARE OPERATED REGULARLY IN THE OMAHA AREA RUST PREMATURELY AND THAT IS A FACT. THIS VEHICLE IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE VALUE IS PROBABLY NEAR ZERO BUT MITSUBISHI WILL NOT COVER THE COST TO REPAIR. THE NHTSA SHOULD EXTEND THE SUB FRAME RECALL TO OTHER STATES WHERE THE USE OF ROAD SALT IS EXTENSIVE I.E. NEBRASKA, COLORADO, UTAH, ETC...THIS IS A TRAVESTY AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED DRIVING THESE VEHICLES.

ON 2/2/11 THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN MY DAUGHTER'S 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER WAS MOVED ONE CAR LENGTH FORWARD IN THE DIVE WAY. THE OUTLANDER STRUCK THE REAR OF OUR 2002 FORD WINDSTAR. THERE HAVE BEEN 3 OTHER INCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE FAILING TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, 2 OF THEM RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS. I CHECKED ON-LINE FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS FOR MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER AND FOUND A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE "BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM CHECK VALVE" DATED 3/10/2009 FOR 2008 AND 2009 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDERS. THE CHECK VALVE "STICKS" CAUSING INSUFFICIENT BRAKING ASSIST RESULTING IN INCREASED RISK OF CRASH. I CHECKED THE PART NUMBERS AT THE DEALER FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART. IT IS THE SAME PART USED IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR MY DAUGHTER'S 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. DEFECTIVE P/N 4630A055, REPLACEMENT P/N 4630A187. MITSUBISHI MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

The contact owns a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the front driver's side A-arm separated from the vehicle and the vehicle stopped abruptly, causing the contact's body to slam against the steering wheel. The contact sustained back pains and received medical assistance. Upon towing the vehicle, the contact noticed that the entire subframe was severally corroded. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where the subframe was replaced. However, the dealer did not replace other corroded components. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle began to leak fluids after the repair was completed. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH and making a turn, the brake pedal was depressed but went to the floorboard and failed to respond. The contact engaged the electronic parking brake but it failed to respond. The contact then purposely crashed the passenger's side of the vehicle into the guard rail in order to stop the vehicle. The driver's air bag exploded, propelling burning chemicals that burned the contact's left arm. The contact did not seek medical assistance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 157,000.

MITSUBISHI HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLES FRONT COIL SPRINGS TO 120,000 MILES OR 9 YEARS (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST). MY FRONT COIL SPRINGS WENT BAD AT 120,500 AND MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR TO THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS, ACCORDING TO MITSUBISHI HAVE A "POTENTIAL" TO "CORRODE FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO ANTI-FREEZING AGENTS (SUCH AS CALCIUM CHLORIDE) USED IN COLD WEATHER AREAS TO CLEAR ICE AND SNOW FROM ROADWAYS". I DO LIVE IN OHIO AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SNOW HERE, BUT UPON SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS WHO DO NOT LIVE OR TRAVEL TO AREAS WHERE ROADS NEED TO BE SALTED (E.G. TEXAS, FLORIDA) HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, IF ALTERNATIVE FRONT COIL SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CORRODE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, SHOULD MITSUBISHI NOT BE LIABLE FOR PROVIDING CUSTOMERS WITH THESE SATISFACTORY PARTS REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE? IT SEEMS TO BE UNIVERSAL AND IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MITSUBISHI PUT OUT A VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE PART THAT THEY ARE NOW REFUSING TO RECALL. THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN THIS MATTER IS NOT FAIR TO CONSUMERS WHO PAY FOR QUALITY VEHICLES WITH QUALITY PARTS.

NEEDLESS TO SAY MY ISSUES HAVE STILL NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TO A HIGHER LEVEL UNTIL ALL OF MY CONCERNS AND ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE ARE FULLY HANDLED. I PURCHASED MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASED IT AFTER READING SEVERAL EXCELLENT REVIEWS , RESEARCHING THE CAR AND KNOWING IT CAME WITH A WARRANTY FOR 5 YEARS/100,000 MILES. THIS WAS ONE OF THE KEY SELLING POINTS THAT INTRIGUED ME AND I WAS TOLD ANY AND EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD OR WOULD GO WRONG WITH THE CAR WOULD BE COVERED DURING THAT PERIOD, NO QUESTIONS OR HASSLES. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AND HASSLE AND I VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MITSUBISHI AND FRANKLY I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR BUY ANOTHER MITSUBISHI AFTER THE POOR CONTINUED SERVICE I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR EVERY SINGLE MAINTENANCE AND TAKE VERY GOOD CAR OF IT. MY WINDOW SEAL WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY, DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN SQUEAKING AND MOVING BACK AND FORTH AND THE COVERS IN THE BACK SEAT AND TRUNK CAME OFF IN JANUARY 2010 AND I BROUGHT MY CAR IN , 1/14/10 AND BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION IN OXNARD. THEY ADVISED THEY FIXED THE ISSUE AND TIGHTENED THE BOLTS UNDER THE SEAT. THE COVERS THEY SNAPPED ON SO HARD THE CAME OFF AND WERE BROKE, THE OTHERS THEY GLUED? THE SEAL ON THE WINDOW CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISE. WEEKS LATER THE SEAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN: 03/30/10, 04/12/10, 05/12/10, 05/24/10, 09/30/10, 11/4/10 AND 12/2/10 ALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SEAT AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED.
