2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2020

This is now my second complaint to you. Again on the headlights this time they went out at the same time while driving on a two lane highway shortly after midnight. Thank god I had high beans even though I'm sure the people I passed didn't appreciate it. Since owning this SUV I have had the bulbs replaced 5 times on the right side and 7 times on the left. Was told by autozone that they believe the seal around the light is causing the moisture to enter and carrode . Not sure if this is the real problem!. The price of these replacement bulbs are not cheap. I have never had an issue like this on any of my vehicles during my lifetime. . . . I see I am not the only one to complain about this issue, I found many complaints by searching the net. . I feel this is a huge safety issue and it needs to be corrected by Mitsubishi.

3 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2020

On random when driving on several occasions my headlight will go out. Both at the same time. This morning while driving on the highway to work, the lights both just went completely out leaving me in the dark. I had to drive with my brights on for safety. The second problem in the acceleration, you can push the gas but it is has no power to go and hesitate.

4 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2020

My headlights keep going out. I have had to replace them about 5 times in 3 years. I even had them professionally put in at the shop, and now less than a year later, I can't even drive my son to school because they are both out again.

5 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 10/21/2019

Since we've owned this vehicle, we have had nothing but issues with the lights. At night, you can hardly see. When I addressed with service, I was told that this was a known issue and to resolve, I would need to buy the newer model. The headlights have been replaced by my husband about a dozen times! this morning when I left for work, they are out yet again. This is now a safety issue! about two months ago, I was coming home on route 95 in 8 lanes of traffic without headlights because they went out again. At this point, we're done! as we speak I'm working with a local dealership to get out of this death trap and I felt it was important to escalate this issue to ensure others are not impacted.

6 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2019

Vehicle hesitates when trying to accelerate. Loss of power and delay. . Lights inside on on dash flicker and headlights flicker and dim in and out. I do not have any photos. This has been happening for about a year.

7 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2019

Headlights keep burning out. . Now having to replace for the third time.

8 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2018

Low beam headlight bulbs have burned out for the 2nd time since I have bought this car in 1 years time. Last time was September 2018 and now again December 2018. There is no water or condensation inside of the assembly. Just replacing both bulbs and they will work again, but for how long?.

9 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2018

I purchased my car in September 2015 brand new. I have had to replace my headlights 3 times now. To me that isn't normal.

10 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2017

With just 2,000 miles on the SUV, the driver's side low beam headlight burned out. Replaced it. At 20,000 miles, both low beams burned out at the same time. Replaced them. At 30,000, both low beams burned out again, at the same time. Replaced and contacted dealer with, so far, no response. I've owned almost 10 vehicles over the years - including hids and halogens - and have never had headlights burn out this quickly or at exactly the same time.
