Body Problems of Mitsubishi Outlander - part 2

When driving on the expressway at speeds above 50mph, the hood appears to lift up. Almost as if it’s about to detach or lift up from the base. I am worried this may cause an accident to my family or others.

The car hood doesn't close tight enough and it feels like it will come open when driving on highway with high speed. Lots of vibration and movement in the hood cover. It feels like it is not securely shutt .

The day I purchased the vehicle I had to get on the interstate to drive home. I was going 65-70 and I thought the hood would fly up. It vibrates like crazy and flutters. It’s a serious safety distraction as you are looking at the hood constantly to make sure it stays down. I called the dealership and they said they had never heard of this and would have the service department reach out. They didn’t. It still happens everyday.

The hood latch is faulty. It’s a known problem for the 22 Outlander. When the car drives the hood shakes as if it will lift up while driving. It has been almost a year of ownership and Mitsubishi has yet to fix this issue.

When driving 65mph on highway hood flutters. This is causing anxiety thinking hood will become loose. I’ve spoken to the dealership and they did assure me that it will not however it’s impossible to say that it would never happen. This is a huge safety issue and something that needs to be rectified.

Passenger side rear view mirror became inop. Horn inop/ unresponsive. Air bag driver and passenger side (components inside cabin roof posts lateral of vehicle dashboard coming loose.

The hood of my vehicle is always shaky and seems that it would come off the engine whenever I accelerate on the highway and when the vehicle is operating in a high wind environment. Why? this incident is happening always.

Hood flutters while driving. Fear of flying up while I'm driving.

I purchased this vehicle on 12/24/2021. After purchasing and driving off the lot, I noticed a significant amount of hood fluttering. Irrespective of the speed , the flutter is significant and a distraction and can affect one driving safely.

The hood is fluttering after 25mph.

When the vehicle goes above 50 mph the hood begins to move in a fluttering manner. The faster you go the worse the hood moves.

The hood flutters or bounces at any speed over 30. Gets significantly worse the faster you go making you feel unsafe like the hood will fly open. Even on bumps the hood shakes. There are no recalls and most dealerships are offering temporary fixes. Mitsubishi is aware of the problem but not doing anything about it. I've done research and this is a huge issue with this model. No owner has been given a good "fix. ".

When driving at freeway speeds in windy condition, the hood shakes and flexes in a frightening manner, suggesting that the hood could be flying open at any moment. This is visible and upsetting from a driver or passenger viewpoint. My first impression was that the hood was made of too thin metal and that certain wind dynamics at highway speeds causes this shocking flexing and shaking. This was a brand new vehicle with under 100 miles on it. The next day I returned the vehicle to the dealer and they returned my down payment check that I had given then two days earlier, thus cancelling the deal. It seems they had heard of this issue before.

The vehicles hood shakes and flutters when traveling above approximately 45mph and gets worse the faster vehicle travels. I fear this is causing excess wear on the hood latch and the hood will eventually fly up causing driver to be unable to see. Been like this since new. Has been back go dealership twice with no fix.

When driving on highway you the hood of the car fluttering and vibrating. It is very scary and I always feel like the hood is coming off.

Upon purchasing a brand new 2022 vehicle you expect the vehicle to be in great shape with no cosmetic issues nor issues under the hood well that wasn’t the case for me. I test drove the vehicle locally and it was fine. After a couple weeks I needed to drive on i95 and when I got up close to 60mph the hood started fluttering like it was about to blow off! I was freaking out and swerved because I was watching the hood praying f it wouldn’t fly off! my kids were in the vehicle with me as well. I called and spoke with Mitsubishi and they offered a temporary sealant that “could” stop the fluttering. It didn’t! I contacted them immediately and informed them this has to be replaced or fixed correctly! I’ve been going back and forth with the dealer and wellsfargo to cancel the loan and get my money back! the dealer told me several times since 2021 November that the manufacturer should have a new hood within one month and it’s about to February and it still isn’t fixed! I was told that reversing the contract and getting my money back is out of the question and they will have a new hood by February. I’ve been an emotional wreck! I am a single mom of 3 and got out of one disabled vehicle just to get into a lemon and be low balled by the dealer giving me the run around and won’t refund my money for an error of what need to be a recall on the 2022 Outlander hoods! several people have this issue and I’ve posted it on my social media as well! I’ve been told by the dealer the hood won’t blow off and I informed them they cannot guarantee me that especially since they didn’t make it the manufacturer’s did! I pray for my safety and the safety of others but I am ready to sue Mitsubishi for this lemon they sold me knowing it had a hood flutter issue! I have documentation of every person time and conversation as well as voicemails left please help me!.

The hood shakes and moves on highway. Looks like it going to come open.

Hood has a flutter when reaching certain speeds and hitting bumps.

The hood shakes during operation of the vehicle. It seems to be latched but it seems like it is going to open at anytime driving at higher speeds.

Since having purchased the vehicle in October 2021, the hood flutters/vibrates whenever the vehicle is being driven at speeds of 60mph or more. The faster the vehicle drives, the more violently the hood flutters/vibrates. We have taken it to the dealer for repair, and they informed us that Mitsubishi is aware of the issue but they have yet to issue repair or do a recall. After speaking with Mitsubishi corporate in the us, they said they are not planning to do a recall or offer a timeframe for a repair, but fully admitted to being aware of the issue, after doing research online, I found that many if not most of the 2022 Outlanders have this very serious issue. Not only is it scary driving with the hood vibrating, but it will cause unnecessary wear and tear on the vehicle and possibly cause a catastrophic incident. The vehicle is readily available for inspection. We want Mitsubishi to do the right thing and recall the vehicle and provide a permeant fix ASAP.

Back in October 2021 the vehicle in question stopped functioning while driving with our 12 year old and 10 months old baby in the back seat, a warning of engine malfunction showed up on the dashboard almost causing an accident. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and after a few days they didn't find anything. 5 months later and 7000 miles later we received the safety recall letter for what we believe is the same issue we had last year. In addition and after many calls an a few visits to the dealership they haven't been able to address nor fix the fluttering in the hood and rear bumper which we consider is really dangerous. Is Mitsubishi waiting for a tragedy to happen? they want us to drive this vehicle knowing that the engine may stall again and cause an accident.

When this vechile reaches speed over 45 miles per hour. . The front hood . Flutters and shakes as if it’s going to fly open blocking the driver from seeing the road. . Also over time the vibration will crack the latch. Making it a deadly dangerous situation. . Thanks.

Purchase 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander fall of 2021. Took first trip of over 200 miles on highway. Noticed that speeds of 60 mph or over, the hood vibrates(badly). Took to local dealership was told Mitsubishi aware of issue, and in the works to correct, and most likely recall to replace hoods. Just took in this week June 2023 to local dealership. Asked again about hood issue. This time was told Mitsubishi not aware and no fix available or in the works. My concern is I travel a lot on major highways at over 60 mph. What happens if hood flys up when driving 60 mph. The hood would fly back break windshield, cause death or serious accident. And that worries my wife and me. Dealership hasn't done anytime to ease my concerns.

The hood flutters violently while driving making it a constant distraction with the fear that the hood will come loose and strike the windshield or fly off while driving.

I purchased 2022 Outlander in September of 2021. The hood on the vehicle at any speed looks as though it is going to fly up but gets much worse at higher speeds and on the highway. It actually looks like it is going to break loose and fly up and hit the wind shield. It is scary to drive at times thinking this will happen. Also the leather material on each side of the console has come undone and has been on back order since November 2021. I have called dealership and they are going to check hood when I go into get interior issue fixed.

The hood flutters at any speed or if u hit a bump to the point it is not safe.

At higher highway speeds the hood gets air under it, causing the hood to “flutter” or “bounce”. At higher speeds it looks like the hood could almost fly up. I feel very unsafe driving with this, I’ve been told it can’t make my hood fly up, but I worry about it everytime I drive.

Has significant hood movement at speeds over 50 mph.

The hood has fluttered since I bought the car on 7/29/21. I brought the issue to the dealership's attention, but they denied hearing any other complaints. While I was waiting at the dealership for an oil change, I was talking to other Outlander owners, and they expressed the same concern. I also have an issue with the front collison senor. Since day one, the sensor will disengage in direct sunlight, fog, and rain, making the feature useless. Once again, when brought up to the dealership, I was informed the case this was a one-off and they had not heard or seen any issues reported to Mitsubishi. And as of today, it appears my alternator has gone out.

My 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander hood vibrates during drives. The vibration starts when the car is moving around 35 - 40 mph or more. I confirmed that it was properly closed, but it concerns me because this repetitive movement may loosen the hood locking system during any future drive. This problem may cause a potentially fatal accident.

The hood flutters violently while driving. The manufacturer has already issued a TSB to try to fix the issue but it has not. There are hundreds if not thousands of complaints online about this issue. I’m afraid that the hood may fly up while driving.

At 45mph and above the hood flutters violently.

Car engine hood shakes violently at speeds higher than 45 miles per hour. The higher the speend the more it shakes. My wife is afraid to drive it. Many other owners are complaining of same issue and have taken Outlander in for service without favororable results. Issue still persists. I will take my Outlander for service as soon as I am able.
