1 Tank Assembly problem of the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 08/30/2017

Heavy smell of gasoline when fuel tank is filled. Fill garage with fumes. Check engine light is on. If filled to a half tank or so, no indication of fuel smell. Does not appear to be leaking. I had an ase certified mechanic look at it and the fuel tank as well as filler nozzle are deteriorated. I called Mitsubishi motors north America and they acted as if this was the first time they ever heard of this problem. I called multiple dealers, and all have experienced the same problem with their customers. The inter-net is full of similar complaints on 2003 to 2006 Outlanders. I have had a recall for the front end because of excessive rust making it unsafe to drive. I do not think this is a normal wear and tear with the fuel tank. Mitsubishi should acknowledge this problem and correct it for their customers. I am the original owner. The car is always garaged when not being driven.

2 Tank Assembly problem of the 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 12/21/2006

Several problems with 2004 mistsubish Outlander. All fixed under warranty, except latest problem. Car won't run. Had to tow to dealership. Car shakes and engine cuts completely out. Dealership not cooperating, fixed the wrong thing, engine still cuts out/stalls, now saying I "overfilled the gas tank, ruining the charcoal fuel canister. " this is not covered under warranty?! there has to be another reason this happened. I have never overfilled or topped off my gas. I think they messed it up, or perhaps the gauges are wrong. If the gauges are wrong, it's a factory issue and should be covered under warranty!!!!.
