3 Wiper problem of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 04/30/2024

I was driving with shade closed and ac on for around 4hours since 6am from alexandria - lousiana. When I arrive in dallas - TX I decided to open the shade from my sunroof glass and less than 1 minute as I open I heard and noise like a small explosion and saw a hole in my sunroof glass. The glass start to crack. Same moment I closed my shade and reduce my speed. I was 6 minutes from my hotel. When I stop the car I saw that sunroof glass was in direction from inside to outside the car. Looks clearly that the explosion happened from inside to outside the car. I called to Mitsubishi road service and they sent a tow truck to send my car to don herring dealer. After 3 days Mitsubishi called me and told by according pictures it was a rock that hit my glass and broken and they dont have nothing to do. Don herring dealer in texas and sport Mitsubishi in orlando both of them assume that dont have any real evidence that was a rock because the glass exploded direction it was to up - showing that happened from inside to outside. I went to safelite glass company too and they told the same. As it is tempered glass must be broken in small pieces completely or total fallen inside the car. This looks like when I open the shade and because inside the car was too cold and outside was too hot had some thermical shock and sunroof glass not hold this situation.

The problem was reported to a different dealer which informed me that the manufacturer is not doing any repairs. The vehicle is available for inspection anytime. I have cleaned the camera lens and monitor screen with no good results. This is the second vehicle of this style from the same manufacturer I have owned. The first vehicle had no issues and both vehicles were shown to the dealer service department as well as sales crew.

6 Wiper problem of the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 08/16/2023

Failure of driver side exterior mirror. 3 years after purchase of vehicle the mirror would no longer move in and out. Dealer replaced with oem quality mirror July 2021. 2 years later (August 2023)mirror now has the exact same malfunction/defect. Mitsubishi is unable to tell me why the failure happened in the first place or why it has again happened. Mitsubishi refuses to take any action to fully rectify this issue. They only suggest again replacing the mirror. As the mirror is part of a side vehicle warning system the malfunction creates the possibility of a side collision with another vehicle. Thank you , allen eckstein.

7 Wiper problem of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 11/15/2022

I can not express how disappointed I am with this car. You cannot use the review camera as the screen goes black or freezes. You cannot put the visor down as you will not be able to see out the windshield. If you go to push the gas the car stutters and sometimes shuts off completely. I bought my car brand new with 200 miles on it and after 6 months of driving it they told me my tires needed to be replaced because they were dangerous. After taking it into the dealership several times I was told that's just how the car is. The first chance I get I am trading this car and getting something else, and I will never purchase from them again. They have no pride in their cars at all and it will end up getting someone killed.

11 Wiper problem of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 09/24/2021

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.

I have taken my SUV for to updates in regaurds to repairing the hood that shakes and bounces. It moves up and down when going down the road fast or slow. Its not only the wind that causes this it is also bumps in the road. It oftem seams the hood will fly up and can be pretty scarry. I fewel something needs to be done to help support the hood and make it samefer. If it keeps moving metal fatigue could occure and cause a safety issue that could lead to a death.

17 Wiper problem of the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 02/15/2021

Harpswell auto illegally sold me a vehicle with 5 safely recalls on the vehicle before I bought the vehicle. Safety recall codes are c1611z, c1614z, c1801r, c1806z, c2003r. I bought the vehicle 4/25/2020 and 2 recalls were due in 2016 and 3 were due in 2019. Where these are very big safety recalls I think harpswell auto needs to have their license revoke for service and inspection stickers because my vehicle should never have passed inspection with the crossmember recall completely rotted out.

18 Wiper problem of the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 02/05/2021

Wife was driving her 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander from bisbee to sierra vista, az on sr 92 when all of a sudden she heard an explosion. She immediately ducked thinking that someone had shot at her. A nearby motorist was pointing to her and her car. She didn't know what to make of it, so she pulled over and examined her car and noticed a huge hole in her car sunroof. She had called me (husband) and told me what happened and advised her to continue to drive home slowly, so she activated her emergency lights and drove slow. Then shortly, she was pulled over by a cochise county deputy and asked her if she was in a car accident and told the deputy she was not involved in a car accident and told him what happened and was taken back by the sunroof damage. The deputy advised her she couldn't drive the vehicle because all the glass was falling onto the roadway. She said she would call me to get a tow truck and said he would follow her into town and said to go straight home in which she did right away.

19 Wiper problem of the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 01/02/2021

I've had my routine maintenance done on this vehicle since I financed it back in June of 2019 which was at 47k miles. There was no issues, I had my last maintenance done in October at 70k miles. My transmission showed no signs of going out , there's no leakage of any sort. It just decided Saturday, January 2 of 2021 that it was just going to go out. I took it to the dealership January 5th, and he told me it'll be $7035. 09 to replace. I feel as though there should be a recall on this transmission just like the recalls for the 2016 models. The dash just now says transmission service required. It was so sudden! I was at 35mph and the car began to shudder upon acceleration while driving Saturday. So, I had to drive at least 10miles back home at 20mph, because I wasn't sure of what the issue was at that moment. I had a mechanic check the transmission fluid and he says that there wasn't a drop of fluid in there. When I go get maintenance done I am trusting them to make sure I have everything checked in order for me to fell trust and be safe while driving a vehicle that I financed from them. I could've had a accident or anything. They've only checked what they were paid to do and that was the oil change without ever checking my transmission fluid. Theres no holes nor any leakage the code ran and says p084a transmission has internal damage. I've replaced the windshield wiper twice and the takes a while to defrost the wiper blades move slowly when turned to the max when theres a storm.

21 Wiper problem of the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 10/17/2019

Was driving at highway speeds and just topped a hill without any other vehicles around, no overpasses, no one on the side roads, etc. When the sunroof spontaneously exploded. Had been driving for about 20 minutes without any incidents before this happened. Not only did the glass blow out but the shards left hundreds of scratches to the paint on the roof bad enough to need to be repainted. When it happened the sound of the glass exploding was extremely loud. That morning was the first morning we had frost on the vehicles since we bought it new.
