My trunk lid is rusting away. Around the latch my hand has gone through it. We are not sure why this is happening.
In February of 2025 I was driving on the highway and my car stopped accelerating and the “ASC system required” light turned on. The RPM stayed at 4,000-5,000 and my car dropped from 60MPH to 20MPH. I had to drive on the side of the highway 20 minutes home like this. I took the car into a shop and they said the exhaust and catalytic converter was clogged and replaced it. It ran okay after that for about 3 weeks and then the same thing started to happen again. I have had to pull onto the side of the highway about 10-15 times as of writing this to restart my car/drive home going 20-30MPH. I brought it to the Mitsubishi dealership last week and they said I will need a whole new exhaust manifold, muffler, and catalytic converter due to it “being clogged” and quoted me just over 6,000 for it to be fixed even though I just replaced all of this in February. They did not give me an explanation as to why this is happening or explaining what is causing the “ASC system service required” light to go off.
Windshield wipers don’t work drivers side works but won’t go all the way down the passenger side don’t work at all when it wants to work it gets stuck in the other wiper and bends the arms
I picked up my vehicle from having a recall service done. but when i was unloading the rental car my car began to roll due to ebrake recall that has not been properly addressed. have warning lights indicating airbag service and that passenger airbag is off when it is occupied. Airbags should never fail, nor should brakes. no matter miles or salt on road. if salt corodes a certain part than it must be an aloy that will not corrode. also brake lines should not ever rust they too should be coated with epoxy or alloy metals that are impervious to salt...
Not reporting an incident but this vehicle has a dash light that says to "service airbags" shouldn't this be a safety recall as I don't know what's wrong with them.

I was on the freeway and all of the sudden the transmission stopped working and I was unable to get to the side of the road safely do to loss of power and traffic conditions. There was transmission warning light that came on and right after that when I pressed on the acceleration the engine would rev, but there was no reaction to the gears. This resulted in me being stuck in an active lane of traffic and nearly being hit several times. I called the police and informed them because I didn’t want to cause an accident but do to another accident I was stranded for 50 minutes in the active lane of traffic. Apparently this is a known issue with this transmission but the manufacturer is not responding and issued a recall like it needs to. Something like this could get someone seriously injured or killed! I’m lucky no one was injured in my situation but on a very busy freeway something like this could cause a huge pile up if a car all of the sudden is just stopped in the middle of the road. Who knows how many people could be hurt or die in a situation like that happening.
VEHICLE JUST STOPPED SHIFTING. VEHICLE CAN GO IN FIRST AND REVERSE, BUT THAT IS IT.
ASC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING. THIS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY (COLD TEMPERATURE: 15-20 DEGREES IN KY)
WHILE DRIVING AND AUTOMATIC THE CAT JUMPS RPMS AND DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT WHEN IN MANUAL IT DRIVES PERFECTLY FINE.
ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT. STERLING/MOANING WHEN I ENTER OR LEAVE A PARKING SPACE. A NEW THING HAS BEEN ADDED - THE BRAKES 'CATCH' WHEN I MAKE A HARD BRAKE AND I WONDER IF THE TWO ARE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OTHER.
VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER SHIP FOR RECALLS. REAR CALIPERS STILL LOCK UP SLIGHTLY FROM EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTUATOR ISSUE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACTUATOR LEVER BUT NEVER REMOVED THE CALIPER TO DISASSEMBLE AND CLEAN OUT CORROSION BEHIND PISTON. STUART SAID THE SPRINGS WERE REPLACED. I LOOKED AND CAN SEE THE ORIGONAL RUSTY SPRINGS. THE BRAKES STILL SLIGHTLY LOCK UP ON THE REARS.

THE FRONT DOOR (PASSENGER SIDE) HAS RUSTED ALL ALONG THE BOTTON OF THE DOOR. IN ADDITION THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE DOOR WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE IT. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE INSIDE THE DOOR BETWEEN THE OUTER DOOR AND THE INNER DOOR. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE REST OF THE CAR.
RIGHT REAR CALIPER RUBS AND STICKS FOR A FEW DAYS THEN STOPS AFTER A FEW MILES. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY DAY OR EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. DOES IT MORE WHEN IT IS BELOW 40. CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE, CANNOT GET PARTS TO FIX IT ANYWHERE INCLUDING MITSUBISHI. CALLED A DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO TO ORDER AND STILL WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN.
MY 2014, MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT, FEELS LIKE IT'S WOBBLING AND I HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE THEN I PRESS ON MY BRAKES, THE NOISE GETS LOUDER WHEN IT SLOWS DOWN. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND THEY CHANGED TWO OF THE ROTORS IN AUGUST, SO I THOUGHT THAT WOULD HELP, BUT IT DIDN'T IT STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I CHECKED MY VIN # ON THE MITSUBISHI WEBSITE AND IT STATES THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR. IT'S BEGINNING TO GET A BIT SCARY!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A MESSAGE DISPLAYED, INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GETTING HOT AND TO SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN HOT WEATHER AT THE TIME OF THE MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUMP FAILED. THE MECHANIC CHECKED ALL OVER THE NATION AND COULD NOT FIND A USED TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE RECALL ISSUES.

SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE THERE HAVE BEEN TWO PRIOR RECALLS CONCERNING THE WIPER MOTORS. THE LAST REPAIR WAS NOT RIGHT AND I COMPLAINED TO ANY THAT WOULD LISTEN YET NOTHING WAS DONE. NOW MY WIPER BLADE MOTOR IS FAILING IN THE SAME WAY AS THE PRIOR RECALL SPOKE OF. MY BLADES FUNCTION ERRATICALLY AND DO NOT COME BACK TO REST IN THE PARK POSITION. THE ORIGINAL RECALL WORK AND PARTS WHERE SUBPAR AT BEST.
TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER DUE TO A VIBRATION COMING FROM TRANSMISSION, AND ALSO, MY VEHICLE WOULD BE SLUGGISH WHEN IT WARMED UP. MOST CONCERNING, WAS WHEN SLOWING AT AN INTERSECTION TO TURN, AND THEN PRESSING THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD BE HESITANT. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. BASED ON OTHER REVIEWERS, I FIND THIS TO BE A CONCERN FOR MORE THAN JUST MYSELF. I HAD TO PURCHASE A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AT $7,100. TOTAL MILES IS 56,000. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE RPMS WOULD SHOOT UP, BUT THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. I HAD TROUBLE AT TIMES SPEEDING UP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE ALSO RESULTED IN A BAD ACCIDENT.

WHEN I AM ACCELERATING, PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THE RPMS GO DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY THEN RISER SIGNIFICANTLY. NOW THERE IS A DEEP RUMBLE OR VIBRATION IF I GO ABOVE 50 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I LIVE IN FLAT TERRAIN WITH OCCASIONAL HILLS BUT DRIVE MOSTLY HIGHWAYS.
REPORT RECEIPT DATE: NOV 21, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V744000 MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE PASSENGER SEATBELT WHICH HAS BECOME LOOSE AND DOES NOT LATCH ANYMORE. THEY ARE SAYING THIS RECALL DOES NOT AFFECT MY VIN #. MY CAR IS ALSO A 2014, I THINK YOU NEED TO REVISE YOUR RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VIN # AND ALL OTHERS THAT WERE PRODUCED THE SAME DAY, AS THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO MINE AND AVOID LOSS OF LIFE AND THE LIABILITIES THAT CAN COME FROM THAT.
