2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

I have been having problems with the wheel turning towards the left. Once I went to Firestone and got tires I was told the my suspension is very loose. It is getting more hard to control the steering.

The contact owns a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle was wobbling. The tire pressure monitoring system warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front subframe was corroded and the front lower control arms and ball joints needed to be replaced. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V458000 (Suspension); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 141,524.

The rear subframe is corodedbut no other part is. It is available to see if needed it won’t pass state inspection and it could break while driving

The contact owns a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated he had received a recall regarding the lower driver’s side subframe of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer repaired the subframe. The contact stated that while the vehicle was being State Inspected, the contact was informed that the driver’s side subframe was extremely corroded. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,899. The VIN was invalid.

Our 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander has several rotted out holes the size of half dollar coins in our crossmember which is connected to the control arms and it is making a loud banging sound when we hit any bumps.

THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER WAS A RECALL THAT I HAD DONE, THIS PAST WEEKEND I HAD MY TIRES CHANGED AND THE SHOP SHOWED ME THAT MY REAR CROSSMEMBER IS CRACKED. THE CRACK IS ALONG THE FACTORY WELDING. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS I HAD WITH THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER. IT CAUSES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS CRACKED ALONG THE FACTORY WELD WHICH SHOULD HOLD BETTER THAN IT IS. THE REAR CROSSMEMBER SHOULD BE AS WITH THE BACK... RECALLED.

LEFT FRONT OF VEHICLE IS VIBRATING/ JERKING STEERING WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE WITH WHAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING RUBBING HARD ENOUGH TO JERK CAR SIDE TO SIDE. MAKING A BANGING NOISE WHEN TURNING AS THOUGH FRONT SUSPENSION IS BROKEN. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I PURCHASED THE OUTLANDER FROM A DEALERSHIP USED AND WAS TOLD FIXING THE RECALLS WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AFTER SIGNING PAPERWORK. UNKNOWN HISTORY AS I WAS LIED TO ABOUT ISSUES AND SALESMAN WAS FIRED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE.

MECHANIC SAID MY AXLE BOOT LOCK AND STRUT SPRING BROKE AND I NEED A NEW PASSENGER FRONT AXLE COIL SPRING. LOUD BANG WOKE US UP WHILE CAR WAS IN DRIVEWAY. RELATED TO RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 16V458000? ALSO POWER STEERING LEAKING EVERY TIME WE FILL IT, THAT ALSO MIGHT HAVE A RECALL FROM WHAT I SAW. MITSUBISHI DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR BUT SEEING SIMILARITIES WITH WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT ANPPED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION COLLAPSED.
