Forward Collision Avoidance
11/29/2024
When driving with the adaptive cruise control on, the cruise will shut off without notice at random times. The forward collision warning light then comes on. After driving for some time the light will go out and the adaptive cruise will work again. This repeats many times on a trip randomly. This also leaves the vehicle without forward collision protection and automatic emergency braking. This is very dangerous at highway speed when you lose power driving with traffic. When reported to the dealer, they said it was a known issue without a solution and to not use the adaptive cruise and drive carefully without the forward collision protection active. This has been an issue since the car was new in November of 2024.

Back Over Prevention
05/06/2026
Vehicle: 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV I am filing this safety complaint regarding a recurring electrical/software defect in my 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV affecting the backup camera display and infotainment screen. The backup camera screen repeatedly freezes and goes completely black while the vehicle is in reverse gear. This eliminates all rear visibility during backing maneuvers, posing a serious risk of striking pedestrians, cyclists, or objects — especially children in blind spots who cannot otherwise be seen. In addition, the infotainment screen has shut off entirely at least once while the vehicle was being driven, creating a dangerous distraction and loss of vehicle controls. I want to be clear that my dealership has acted in complete good faith and has done everything within their power to diagnose and resolve this issue. They have worked diligently on my behalf and are not the source of the problem. The failure to provide a fix lies squarely with Mitsubishi Motors No...

Steering
04/29/2026
I was parked in a parking spot and when returned to my car and turned my car on a loud bang came from the front of the vehicle. Both of my front tires were facing inward. The drivers side front tie rod snapped with a clean break for no reason. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where after inspection there was no obvious reason for this to happen, no damage to the tire, aluminum wheel, or any other component under the car. There was no warning of any kind, the vehicle was driving perfectly smooth and not pulling to one side just before this happened. The vehicle and damaged tie rod are available for inspection. Needless to say If i were driving at highway speeds there could have been catastrophic injury. As of right now Mitsubishi only viewed pictures, I asked them to inspect the vehicle but they did not. I would prefer NHTSA inspect the tie rods because if this happened while parked the tie rod could be defective and dangerous.

David the Mitsubishi technician drove with me today and witnessed the issues with the adaptive cruise control system. 1. Slow to gain speed on resume in any situation. 2. Car slamming on brakes when sensing a car at a red light, when a car leaves the lane that I am in and there is a stopped car at a red light or not stopping at all. 3. When making a turn into a left or right lane, car will not sense the other car or it will slam the brakes unsafely
