2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Complaints

Each door latch on our car has had to be replaced, all at separate times since we bought the car in 2017. The door latches will not lock/unlock with the fob or driver panel. It causes a safety issue with the door. It could come open (from failure to latch) while driving and people can fall out. It does not lock/unlock when you lock the car from the driver panel or fob and people can just open your door and enter it. Which has happened to us. The only way to lock/unlock it is from the inside from that door, since the fob, driver panel do not work, but then you have to scoot across the seat and come out the other side of the car to get out of the car, and then you still can’t unlock it unless you scoot back over and unlock that door since there is only 1 door with a key entrance, the driver door. It’s not been a recall on this specific year (2017) but it has been for 2016. We are now replacing our 4th latch because of this issue, hopefully the hatch does not do this as well. Many others...

I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET. A VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT THEM. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. MY CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI MOTORS AND THEY GAVE ME THIS CONTACT INFORMATION.

THE 2017 HAS THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED 2015 AND 2016 MODELS. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND ITS NOW HESITATING ON ACCELERATION - A CLASSIC SIGN OF CVT FAILURE. MITSUBISHI MECHANIC ADVISES ME TO PAY 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS AS ITS OUT OF WARRANTY (124K MILES) I CONTEND THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THE PRIOR YEARS MODELS ARE.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL. THEY WERE WORKING ONLY ON HIGH AND NOW HAVE QUIT WORKING ENTIRELY. THE WIPER ARMS ARE STRIPPED.
