2024 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

The music will all of a sudden start blasting, volume will randomly start increasing, phone calls (connected to car) will randomly end, voice activation will randomly activate on car. This can surprise driver and could cause an issue. For example, random metal music randomly turning on in the car can be unexpected. When a call ends randomly (caused by car system randomly ending) it could cause driver to divert focus from driving. I think these issues are related to the capacitive sensors on the steering wheel randomly activating without touch.

While on even a slight hill, sometimes the car rolls back if I am not moving forward. For example, if ai am stopped at a red light, the car will roll backwards (instead of not moving or going forward). It’s an automatic transmission so this should not occur. I.e. the transmission is already starting to go out b4 35k miles. There are also instances of one wheel “dragging” or delayed propulsion compared to the other wheel. It is very difficult to get in touch with a dealership for warranty info. I am in Berkeley and no one picks up the phone from the Fremont dealership or calls back when I leave a message.

If headlights are in auto position or were on prior to car starting (I.e. they were left in on position last time car was on), the headlights sometimes do not turn on even though the headlight icon is illuminated. Basically, headlights sometimes say they are on even though they are not.

Sometimes when I am backing up, the rear backup camera will go dark, switch to something random (such as music screen) or freeze (I.e. it shows a clear path behind me while backing up but the screen is just frozen). This is a significant safety issue because if someone is relying on a backup camera to maneuver, and a kid walks behind the car, the driver would not notice the kid if the screen froze. If the backup camera fails, a driver is blind and must either continue blind (as mirrors may not be adjusted for backing up) or must switch gears to go forward (which could also cause an accident since there is a delay in doing this and a car may be exposed on the street).

At about 52,000 miles August 26, 2025- September 2, 2025 for rpm going low and high in idle and check engine light came on replaced engine coil #4 Sept 4, 2025- October 9, 2025 Coolant in engine Failed 2 compression test Needs head gasket repair Instructed to take head off Send head to machine shop to have valves checked Never sent valves to machine shop Replacing engine December 26, 2025 Engine sounds like a jet plane and after calling Mitsubishi it will need to be towed 2 hours away because they shut my local dealership down. I have tried for goodwill assist, buyback, etc but I’m treated horribly. I just found another person that it happened to at 50,000 miles also

I was driving my vehicle, the roads were snowy so was traveling slowly. I attempted to slow down a little more, when I pushed on the brake there was absolutely no response, usually you can feel and even hear the brakes (abs) functioning, there was nothing. I also tried to steer, again, no response, the vehicle continued straight, we went into a ditch and rolled on our side. I tried to put down a window but all dash lights, etc were off and car was not running. I pushed the "start button" dash lights came on, could roll down windows, etc... and the car even starts and runs now. It seems as though there was no "control" of any kind, we were going slow and I even had time to tell my passenger, "be prepared, hold on"...

The contact owns a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that while attempting to latch the front driver’s seat belt, the buckle did not connect, and the buckle casing fractured. The contact stated that the microscrews used to secure the seat belt buckle had failed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The contact stated that a clicking noise was present while opening and closing the front driver’s side door. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the front driver’s door check arm bolts had become unsecured. The contact tightened the bolts, and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 4,000. The VIN was not available.

UNKNOWN. I am buying this vehicle and it does the following: after shutting it off while in gear, it shuts off before its all the way into park. The next several starts include these problems: the drivers and media screens are out of synchronization and come up slow and even blank. They go out and I have had this vehicle even have everything go out, all lights ,ac, etc yet it stayed running. When I told the dealer, he said there was no problem so I took it to another one that wanted to replace it with another one and a different loan holder. Why, my loan is good and current. I am a very frustrated buyer and I demanded it back when I realized that the pre-sales inspection form was not completed. This started at a stoplight.

Distance sensor failed and dealership now states the bracket is bent and it is due to a front end collision but there is no damage to the vehicle, has never been in an accident. The sensor should be covered under the warranty but they want to charge $1715.06 for repairs.

Car during acceleration feels very jerky, safety issue as during turns if acceleration it might jerk make it feel a bit unknown of what speed it might be. additionally such jerkiness might cause driver to be kicked back into seat and head rest potentially causing injury. Feel like it might be CVT slipping at times.
