Vehicle: 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander phev I am filing this safety complaint regarding a recurring electrical/software defect in my 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander phev affecting the backup camera display and infotainment screen. The backup camera screen repeatedly freezes and goes completely black while the vehicle is in reverse gear. This eliminates all rear visibility during backing maneuvers, posing a serious risk of striking pedestrians, cyclists, or objects — especially children in blind spots who cannot otherwise be seen. In addition, the infotainment screen has shut off entirely at least once while the vehicle was being driven, creating a dangerous distraction and loss of vehicle controls. I want to be clear that my dealership has acted in complete good faith and has done everything within their power to diagnose and resolve this issue. They have worked diligently on my behalf and are not the source of the problem. The failure to provide a fix lies squarely with Mitsubishi motors north America, which has been unable or unwilling to supply an adequate repair, software update, or resolution despite being made fully aware of this ongoing safety defect. I have contacted Mitsubishi motors north America directly on multiple occasions. They have failed to provide a satisfactory explanation, a committed timeline for a fix, or any path toward resolution. This is not a dealer-level issue — this is a manufacturer-level failure to address a known defect. This is not a convenience issue — the failure of a federally mandated backup camera system is a safety defect. Federal law (49 cfr part 571, fmvss 111) requires rear visibility systems to function properly at all times. I respectfully request that NHTSA open a formal investigation into this defect and determine whether a recall or technical service bulletin is warranted for the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander phev.
Vehicle trips the gfi on disconnect from charging. If vehicle finishes charging, no issue. If you pull the cable before completing full charge, trips the gfi. Have a prius hybrid using same charger and no issue. Have checked this with another Outlander and same issue. Unplugging it during charge cycle trips the gfi.
