2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

I WAS RECENTLY IN A WRECK AND MY CARS AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK IN. I WAS SITTING STATIONARY AS THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO TURN. ALL OF A SUDDEN A CAR SMASHED INTO MY REAR END. ALL PASSENGERS IN THE CAR AND MYSELF WERE THROWN FORWARD. THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK US IN SAFELY. I HIT MY STEERING WHEEL AND LEFT PANEL NEAR WINDSHIELD. THE PASSENGER HIT THE SUN VISOR ABOVE HIS HEAD. THE BACK DRIVER PASSENGER WAS JOLTED UPWARD HITTING THE CEILING AND DRIVERS SEAT. THE BACK PASSENGER ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS JOLTED UP HITTING THE CEILING AND PASSENGER SEAT. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO MOVE MY CAR 33 FEET FORWARD AND INTO ANOTHER CAR. ON IMPACT MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH CAUSED US TO ALL GO AIRBORNE IN THE CAR HITTING CEILING, SEATS, AND EQUIPMENT. THE REAR PASSENGER EYEGLASSES LANDED IN THE 3RD ROW SEATING SO THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH THAT SOME SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD HAVE WORKED PROPERLY AND SUFFICIENTLY.

AIR BAG LIGHT ALWAYS ON. ALTERNATOR CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF WHICH KILLS MY BATTERY.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 6 MONTHS OR LESS. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER. I WAS DRIVING AND THE REAR CAMERA CAME ON WHILE IN DRIVE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR I HAD NO BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I HAD IT TOWED IN FOR SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER SAID THE COMPUTER HAD NO CODES TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEM AND THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE AT LEAST 3 TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, A PICK-UP TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. DURING THE CRASH, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A NECK INJURY, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,335.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V792000 (VISIBILITY/WIPER) WAS RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS IN THE MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION OF MY SUV. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND ITS AS THOUGH MY CAR IS STANDING STILL THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER THE ACCELERATE STARTS TO WORK AND MOVE THE CAR, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE OF THIS. I NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I'M TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WILL BE CRASHED OR EVEN KILLED DUE TO WHAT EVER IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR

ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE'S 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE HARRIS TEETER GROCERY STORE LOCATED AT 2019 S GLENBURNIE ROAD, NEW BERN, NC. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON THE LEFT. THEREFORE, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOWLY PULL INTO THE SPOT. AS I CONTINUED TO MOVE IN A FORWARD MOTION WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD. I HAD NOT PULLED COMPLETELY INTO THE SPOT AT THE TIME, SO MY FOOT WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN ON THE BRAKE. WHEN OUR CAR LURCHED IT THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR CAR IMPACTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR PARKED IN THE SPOT IN FRONT OF THE SPOT WE WERE PULLING INTO CAUSING THAT CAR TO ROLL OUT OF ITS PARKING SPOT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE IN THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR THAT WAS HIT HAD QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT FENDER OF THE CAR AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. OUR CAR'S LEFT FENDER ALSO SUFFERED DAMAGE AND THE RADIATOR WAS BUSTED. OUR CAR ALSO HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE LOT. WE ARE HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED TO SEE WHAT MADE IT LURCH. AND HONESTLY, I WILL BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS FIXED IF THEY FOR SOME REASON SAY THEY DON'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. I AM UPLOADING PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO BOTH CARS. I ALSO RECEIVED A CITATION FOR THE ACCIDENT AND NOW HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO CLEAR THIS UP. I WILL ALSO BE FILING THIS COMPLAINT DIRECTLY WITH MITSUBISHI MOTORS. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BEFORE A SITUATION LIKE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY OR DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A MOOSE CROSSING THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I DO NOT HAVE AN AUTO LIGHT FUNCTION ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON, EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH IS TURNED TO OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE THE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE WORKING AT THAT MOMENT THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM (DESPITE MY SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT WAS OCCURRING AND THE DANGERS DRIVING WITH NO TURN SIGNALS POSES). INITIALLY THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, BUT NOW IT WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY WHEN I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS COME ON THEN THE TURN SIGNALS STOP WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATION SEIZED AND WOULD NOT RESPOND AFTER A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERYDAY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A USED CAR LOT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.
