2020 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

5/14/2021 Vehicle parked on a hill 45 minutes before it began to roll and flipped over. Car was in park and emergency break was engaged during the time of the incident. This is a hazard and could cause great bodily harm or death. I have children and they could have been in the car at the time of the malfunction . The vehicle was inspected by a police officer who confirmed the vehicle emergency break malfunctioned releasing the car down the hill. The car would jump when you breaking, but no warning lights were on before the incident

I was at a 24 hr storage unit. It was dim & I needed to unload from the rear hatch door so I backed to the open storage unit door in its upright position as high as I could get it & stopped at a safe distance from the doorway so the car door would not catch the storage unit door. I put the vehicle in PARK to have some lighting & double checked before I got out- gear shift securely in PARK. I opened the car's rear door & started unloading without overly disturbing the vehicle or causing any unnecessary movement. I had just turned my back to the car door to put down some boxes in the unit. As I turned back to the car to retrieve another item, I noticed movement. There was a rapid simultaneous series of events: I felt the rear hatch hit my nose, I heard a crash with shattering glass & I tried to jump clear. It was over in minutes . I was inside the storage unit and had to squeeze out to try to free the storage unit door. The door had fallen and gotten wedged between the rear frame of the car & behind the back wiper. I gently freed the door after much diigent effort. Once freed, the car proceeded to move forward on its own before I could access it to shut off the engine, & it eventually crashed into the opposite storage unit. I accessed the vehicle at that time & reversed away from the buildings so the car was equidistant from both buildings & facing an area where it would do minimal harm if it moved again, though I did cut off the engine. Verified vehicle was in PARK. The car had damage to the whole rear area, & damage to the driver's side bumper. Front wheels had been turned right so the car's trajectory was a wide right arc. i tried calling the rental facility manager but there was no after hours number & no answer, so I called city police who promptly arrived within minutes; one vehicle immediately drove up & I quickly punched in my gate access code for easier entry. This vehicle was followed by another white pickup who punched a code on the keypad & let himself

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER OPENED/LOOSE. THE CAR IS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT AT ALL.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 80 MILES AN HR, THE CAR SHUT OFF THEN TRIED TO RESTART ITSELF. THE DEALER IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ALL OF THE EXHAUST VALVES WERE DAMAGED. THEY ARE REPAIRING THIS BUT CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ME.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED FLASHING WARNINGS OF "EV SYSTEM REQUIRED STOP SAFELY", "RBS SERVICE REQUIRED!", AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO, I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH. I QUICKLY EXITED THE FREEWAY AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE CAR SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY AS FAR AS THE ACCELERATION, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT SOON LIGHT REMAINED AND THE "BRAKE!" FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM STARTED TO RANDOMLY KICK IN. INTERESTINGLY, IN THE WEEK LEADING UP TO THE SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN THE FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAD RANDOMLY KICKED IN A FEW TIMES, BUT I ASSUMED THERE WAS SOMETHING LOW IN THE ROAD I WASN'T SEEING. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE AUDIO SYSTEM AND REAR CAMERA IN THE WEEK LEADING UP TO THIS INCIDENT; THE REAR CAMERA TWICE NEVER APPEARED WHEN IN REVERSE AND THE AUDIO SOURCE WOULD ERRATICALLY SWITCH FROM XM RADIO TO APPLE CAR PLAY ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST UNDER 1,700 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ANOTHER DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH, THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED A MEDICAL EMERGENCY AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURIES AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS PROVIDED. THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT WERE AT THE SCENE. THERE WAS NO REPORT OF A FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR IS 4 MONTHS OLD WITH 5500 MILES ON IT. DRIVING AT 70MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, CAR STARTED TO KNOCK AND BUCK. I REDUCED SPEED. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE D FOR GEAR SELECTION STARTED TO BLINK. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I DROVE HOME AT A REDUCED SPEED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. 5500 MILES!

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND A APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE, PERSON BICYCLE OR OBJECT, THE FCM, FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM IS SUPPOSE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE VEHICLE AND GIVE AND AUDIBLE ALERT. IT DOES NOTHING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CERRITOS MITSUBISHI IN CALIFORNIA AND ASKED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CONNECTED THE VEHICLE TO THEIR COMPUTER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND A CODE CAME BACK UNDER SYSTEM NAME: FCM/LDW/AHB, AND UNDER DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE C1809 (SYSTEM TEMPORARY NOT AVAILABLE). I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY NEEDED ME TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEEDED TO CALL MITSUBISHI TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT CODE WAS FOR. THEY CALL ME BACK THAT EVENING AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP AND SAID IT WAS WORKING FINE. I WENT OUT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC THE FCM WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. I SUSPECT THAT THEY JUST CLEARED THE CODE AND GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PUENTA HILLS MITSUBISHI (WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM) AND LEFT IT OVER THE WEEKEND. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY NEEDED ME TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEEDED TO CALL MITSUBISHI TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT CODE WAS FOR, AGAIN. THEY CALL ME BACK THAT EVENING AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP AND SAID THEY DROVE IT AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE FCM (FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION) STILL DOES NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE VEHICLE OR GIVE AND AUDIBLE ALERT. IT DOES NOTHING. RECALL NUMBER 18V621000 RECALL DATE 09/14/2018 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. (MMNA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION (FCM) CONSEQUENCE IF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS DO NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED, IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH
