I was in a head on collision on 12/13/2022, and the air bag failed to deploy. The failure of the air bag deployment cause my chest to slam into the steering wheel along with my knees on the steering column. I went to the hospital for observation and any unknown injuries. My chest hurts and knees along with consistent visions of my life flashing in my mind due to the trauma of this incident. The police, nurses, family, and friends said that I’m lucky to not have serious injuries from the failure of the air bag deployment. I have pictures, police report, and other supporting documents. My 2018 Outlander air bag deployment failure is a serious issue, and it needs to be looked into due to safety, lives, and failure from the air bag. Police report number is on drivers involved. All other vehicles involved air bags deployed, but my Outlander’s air bag failed to deploy. Dangerous to myself or other air bag failures.

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.

My airbag light has been on for the past 4 days indicating a problem with the system. I am bringing my car in tomorrow to be serviced, but this car is ridiculous. This is now the 4th time that this car has been in the shop since February and needs to be investigated. This vehicle is not safe.

Today my wife accidentally rubbed the front right tire over a sidewalk at about 30 mph and all the right side airbags deployed, including the right side airbags of both front seats. Also, the driver seatbelt permanently locked. There was no impact to the body and the damage may be classified as total loss of unit. Only about 4 - 6 inches of the wheel rim was damaged.

Front collision mitigation system, fcm, failed on frontal impact and airbags did not deploy. Vehicle did not activate audible or display emergency warning signals prior to frontal impact. We filed a complaint with Mitsubishi motors national cr, and director of service with many calls, voicemails and emails just fell on deaf ears. Their response documented in the case report on the last call we made to Mitsubishi motors on 6/17/22 the cr rep said the decision is final and that they would not do anything, and we should contact our insurance. Mitsubishi's not only "did not inspect the vehicle" but also never inquired with any intelligent questions as to why the airbags and fcm system failed to operate. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone and is currently in my garage with less then 400 miles on it and is available for inspection. No prior warning lights were displayed. The dashboard currently displays crash signal and forward warning lights.

I rear-ended a car after they came to a complete stop at a green light on a road with a 50mph speed limit. I attempted to stop but in the rain my car hydroplaned, and I hit them. Upon impact my seatbelt did not lock up and my airbags didn't deploy despite the fact that I was going at least 20mph. I ended up hitting the steering wheel pretty hard and still have pain, spasms, and soreness.

I was driving when a woman pulled out in front of me. I was going 49 mph and have the edr report to prove so. (I was wearing my seatbelt). The front of my car smashed into the rear end of her car and I smashed the right side of my head into the steering wheel. I’ve sustained a traumatic brain injury, long term post concussion syndrome along with a page long list of injuries that I’m still dealing with. It’s been a little over a year and my injuries are just getting worse. Mitsubishi sent a guy out to read my event data recorder with promises of giving me a copy of the report. After 6-7 months of them refusing me the report and telling me the air bags should not have went off I hires a lawyer to subpoena a copy of the report. It says the safety features failed. But here I am left with a car that’s totaled and injuries I will never recover from. I also did research and found out that my car was made in the same plant on the same line as the other 68,000 recalled 2018 Outlanders. I can’t understand why mine wasn’t part of the recall?!?! it was made in between the dates as the other 68,000 that was recalled.

On March 11 th, my Outlander was unable to stop and had minimal traction in about a quarter of an inch of snow causing my vehicle to hit a tree head on. I was driving under 30 miles an hour when the accident occurred. After hitting the tree, the steering wheel began to smoke. I was able to exit the vehicle and turned around to see the airbag only partially deployed. From there, my vehicle was declared a total loss. Now, after requesting my insurance company to demand a safety inspection from the Mitsubishi dealership to no avail, I've contacted Mitsubishi corporate and gave them my accident report with high concern in regards to the recall #18v621. I have offered to tow my Outlander to the dealership and they have responded to my concern by refusing to evaluate and inspect this vehicle. When I last spoke to my case manager at Mitsubishi corporate, she let me know there is nothing they will do. I have called the nashua nh dealership to make an appointment for safety inspection of this recall and they have refused to have the service department investigate. Today, I have been told upon towing my vehicle there that they refused delivery of the Outlander. I have not agreed to the settlement offered by my insurance and continue to seek means of having this vehicle inspected for the recall which I'm certain caused my accident. Corporate did state that if I subrogate than they may be able to diagnose my defective vehicle. As of today, I'm in the process of gathering documents.

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.

Airbag service required light is staying on with no accidents or reason for deployment. The vehicle is stationary and the warning stays on, also the passenger seatbelt light is staying on.
