I purchased my 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander in February, 2013 with 104,000 miles on it. At first everything seemed fine, but after 2 weeks the back end of the car on the passenger side squeaks and makes lots of noise. At first it would only do it a little but it got worse and worse within a couple weeks it constantly makes noise, which is very annoying. I think the dealership must have done a quick cheap fix on it so when I test drove it, it would not do it until it was purchased. I also have water seeping in in the floor next to the door on the driver side and water coming through the dash area on the passenger side when it rains or in a car wash. I read online that that can cause electrical problems which worry's me. My head lights also have cracks and fogged up and makes it hard to see at night, which I've seen to be a common problem with this car. I don't understand why this car was never recalled for all the problems it has, this is ridiculous!.

Our mits. Outlander pulls to the right, badly! we had it aligned. . . Twice! had new tires put on, re-aligned, and it still pulls to the right! if I let go of the wheel, w/in 2 seconds, I am in the next lane!.

Steering/suspension Outlander xls car pulls and drifts to the right, car has been to auto service 3 times and problem still exist.

Outland continues to pull very hard to the right. It has been serviced three times and problem still occurs. Dealership says there is no problem and the pulling is normal.

Since the purchase of our 2003 Outlander, it has veered badly to the right. I notified the dealer of the problem from the date of purchase. I have had it in the dealership to correct the problem 3 times and the problem still exists. If you are traveling at a low speed it is not as obvious, but when traveling at higher speeds (60-70mph) if you do not apply pressure to the steering wheel, you will veer right and in 5 to 7 seconds be in a ditch, or if passing another vehicle, you would crash into them. I consider this a very dangerous problem, that could result in serious injury or even death. I have contacted the manufacturer several times and they have contacted the dealership. I just had the Outlander in the dealership yesterday for the 3rd time, and needless to say, the problem is still unresolved. Alignment has not solved the problem and I am taking it back for the 4th time and expecting the same end results.

The vehicle veered to the right when driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repairs but the vehicle continued to veer to the right.

While driving vehicle pulled to the right. Dealer did an alignment, and checked the steering wheel. Dealer indicated that this was a normal problem and there was no solution.
