Mitsubishi Outlander owners have reported a total of 2,377 problems for their cars built in the 24 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Mitsubishi Outlander. The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander cars have the most problems reported (323 problems).
The following chart shows the 29 most common problems for Mitsubishi Outlander cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (317 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (242 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Mitsubishi Outlander of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Outlander model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Mitsubishi Outlander model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
