My parking brake has stopped working/is completely locked up (like what is descrived in the recall, but my vin isn't included in thr recall list), and the airbags were missing at time of sell.
Front calipers made a ratting noise, every time we drive over small street cracks or bumps, this happen when my car reached about 45000 miles, we replace the calipers now there is no more ratting noise.
Transmission not working properly. It said overheating and then stopped driving suddenly whil driving. Very unsafe. Also issue with parking break that just stopped working. This car seems to be a lemon. Not sure why this is happening.
My parking brake locked up by itself. Took 4 trips to the mechanic to find out the module or switch is bad. It's 400 dollars just for the part. My drivers widow stopped going up thr tract stuck and bent it thsts 200 bucks. I have a 2019 outlander theses problem was at 40k miles. Need some recalls.
WHEN USING THE BRAKE AUTO HOLD I STEPPED ON THE GAS WHILE SCRATCHING MY SIDE AT THE SAME TIME TO CROSS THE ROAD. I ACCIDENTALLY UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT WHICH THEN CAUSED THE BRAKE AUTO HOLD TO DISENGAGE AND AUTOMATICALLY APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I COULD NOT DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE UNTIL I REBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT.
THE EPB (EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK) WAS SOME HOW ACTIVATED, NOT SURE IF BY ACCIDENT OR WIRING ISSUE AND NOW WILL NOT DISENGAGE. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 19TH.IT HAD 32 MILES WHEN I PULLED OFF THE CAR LOT. IN JANUARY, NEW BREAKS HAD TO BE PUT ON IT DUE TO WEAR AND LOUD SOUND. THEY WERE REPLACED. IN FEBRUARY, TERRIBLE SOUND COMING FROM BREAKS AGAIN. TAKEN TO SHOP, WORKED ON THEM AND ADVISED THEY JUST NEEDED TO BE OILED. BROUGHT BACK TO SHOP EARLY MARCH, SAME PROBLEM, THE WHOLE BREAK SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. NOW HERE IS IT MARCH 23RD AND THE SAME THING IS STARTING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, SCREETCHING, LOUD SOUND COMING FROM BREAKS.
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 11/3/19, TRADED IN MY 2016 MITSUBISHI FOR 2019 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. 3 DAYS LATER MY LIGHTS WENT OUT AND I TOOK THE CAR TO VICTORY MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP IN THE BRONX AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE FUSE. THEY TIGHTED THE FUSE AND MY LIGHTS CAME ON. ON 11/26/19, I WAS ON THE CROSS BRONX HIGH WAY IN TRAFFIC AND DROVE BUT COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. MY BRAKES FAILED. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CALLED THE POLICE AND GEICO. THE POLICE DID NOT COME AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO JUNIORS AUTOMOTIVE CENTER IN THE BRONX. MY GEICO ADJUSTER WILL INSPECT THE CAR ON 12/4/19. I SHOULD NOT BE GOING THROUGH THIS. I KNOW MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY BE REPAIRED BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2019 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WITH THE SHIFTER IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
