  • Recall 2020317 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
    Issue: on certain vehicles, the seat belt buckle for the right seat in the second-row could be damaged when the seats are folded down. This can cause the seat belt buckle cover to come off. If this happens, the seat belt may not latch properly. Safety risk: a seat belt that does not latch properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective actions: mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to modify the center seat belt buckle in the second seating row. A warning label will also be attached to the right seat base and additional instructions will be added to the owner's manual.

  • Recall 2018508 [Canada]: Other
    On certain vehicles, an issue in the software that manages the brake system hydraulic unit may allow it to reset without warning and could cause some vehicle features to malfunction. If this were to occur while driving, the following features may be affected: automatic braking (if automatic cruise control (acc) and/or forward collision mitigation (fcm) is in operation), antilock brake system (abs), active stability control (asc), brake auto hold (bah). If these systems malfunction, there could be an increased risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will update the hydraulic unit control software.

  • Recall 2018507 [Canada]: Other
    On certain vehicles, an issue in the software used by the electronic control unit responsible for managing the forward collision mitigation (fcm) feature may cause it to not operate as intended alerting the driver to brake unnecessarily in certain situations. If the driver attempts to brake while fcm is also activating, the vehicle may decelerate rapidly. This could create a situation where another motorist does not anticipate a preceding vehicle’s sudden brake application or stop, creating the risk of a rear-end collision causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will update the software for the forward collision mitigation system.

The mainframe kept showing "electrical system service required" i could not lock the vehicle for safety. I could not drive the vehicle as it is its main purpose. I could not turn off the unit which most likely ran the battery down and is most likely dead. It had to be towed to the nearest dealership which cannot access recall information. They want to charge me $150 to diagnose, and cannot perform any recall work. I purchased this car to avoid getting fired from a job that i had to travel an hour each way. Three months later they laid me off. Now the car i purchased is not working. I had contacted the place i bought the car from after i purchased before this happened to get help with the recall which they assured me there was a place locally. Which there is not. The closest place is california or portland. Now that the car is not driveable, i cannot get it to the right dealership to be fixed under warranty. I don't have extra finances to manage this.

I have notice dangerous condition on the break system. - first of all, when the vehicle was about 6 month of use the rear break start to sound. When i take my vehicle to the mitsubishi service department and the rear break pads was worn out with only 12,000 miles. They claim that is my driving habits was what causes the premature worn of the break pad. I told them that my last car i change rear break pad at 60,000 miles with the same driving habits they alleged. At the end, i pay for the pads and the warranty pay for the disk repair and installation. - second, i had an experience in a sudden stop that the abs system did not respond properly and my car slide through the pavement until stop. Fortunately i had enough space to stop without causing an accident. I haven't had any other incident and i can't tell if the problem persist. - third, recently i take my vehicle to another mitsubishi service department because of a noise on the rear breaks. The technician indicate that the break pads are worn out and the caliper rubber protector is broken. My vehicle only have one year of use and 25,000 miles. My big concern is with the abs system that did not responded properly and i don't have the technical knowledge to determine if the abs problem have something to do with the premature worn out of the rear break pads.

On 27may2018, i started my 2018 mitsubishi outlander phev and put it in reverse to back out of the garage. For the first time ever, the alarm dinged and the car would not reverse. My console indicated the charge cord was still plugged in. So i jumped out of the car to unplug the cord, not realizing that i never pressed the 'p' button to put the car in park. I didn't even think to press the 'p' button to initiate park because the vehicle had no motion. Anyway, i quickly unplugged the charger, and immediately thereafter, the car started moving in reverse, which was the last command that i had placed it in. In shock, i ran around to the back of the car without shutting the electric receptacle door and was nearly run over by the vehicle while trying to stop it from rolling out of my garage. Luckily, i moved out of the way quickly enough, back around the driver's side of the car, hopped into my seat, and hit the 'p' button to park the car. However, before the car came to a complete stop, the electric receptacle door i left open in my haste was heavily damaged by the vehicle reversing into the side of my garage door opening. Overall, this was a very dangerous situation that i feel would not have happened in a conventional vehicle because, in a conventional vehicle, the driver, upon removing his or her foot from the brake, would immediately notice if the vehicle was actually in park or reverse. In contrast, the phev was in a standby state, which appeared the same as park, thereby simulating the perception of being in park even though the vehicle actually was under the last command of reverse. Unfortunately, this incident has resulted in significant vehicle and property damage, not to mention a highly dangerous situation. I would recommend the 2018 mitsubishi outlander phev be programmed to shift to park automatically if the charge cord is still plugged in.
