Headlights Problems of Mitsubishi Outlander - part 2

No events. Headlight globes are inadequate. They cracked for no reason other than poor quality. This allowed moisture to inter the headlight assembly causing the bulbs to fail. Paid $850. 00 to replace defective headlight assemblies. Unable to drive the car at night for fear of traffic citations and obvious safety reasons.

I have cracks in the headlight lens in both headlights. There has been no wrecks, bangs, or bad treatment of this vehicle. I was told by a source close to the company that they are stress fractures, I am concerned they may begin to leak and take on water. Plus they are $400 each to replace. I called Mitsubishi and all they wanted to talk about was warranty. Then I was told they do not do recalls unless you folks bring it to their attention. Any help will be appreciated. I talked with local Mitsubishi dealer about it in mid December 2006.

The headlights of this model get severely cracked to the point of rainwater accumulating inside them and burning the lights. Drivers are risking loosing their headlights when they need them most - in a bad rainstorm. Mitsubishi doesn't offer headlight covers as a separate part, so the whole assembly has to be changed every few years. No recall has been done even though the problem is rampant. I haven't been in an accident but Mitsubishi has let all of their Outlander'03 customers to fend for themselves even though it's something they are best equipped to fix.

From the time of purchase the headlight assemblies are cracking from the inside out reducing the light, making it unsafe to drive at night.

Headlights have numerous stress cracks, unable to get 2007 inspection due to headlights. Have contacted dealership numerous times, was given Mitsubishi district manager name and number, will not return call. Headlights now have water inside . Have taken numerous pictures of other Mitsubishi Outlanders with same problem. Was first quoted $750. 00 for replacement, now quoted $850. 00. Consumers should not have to replace something that never should have happened in the first place.

The headlights on my 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander have stress cracks eventually resulting in them fogging over and even taking in water and blowing bulbs. When I researched it online, it appears this is a common problem among this make/model of vehicle. Replacement assembly kits are only available through the dealer and this is not covered under any kind of warranty.
