2022 Mitsubishi Outlander complaints

Hood flutters on high way. More violent at higher speeds and high winds.

Front Collision Mitigation System, FCM, failed on frontal impact and airbags did not deploy. Vehicle did not activate audible or display emergency warning signals prior to frontal impact. We filed a complaint with Mitsubishi Motors national CR, and Director of Service with many calls, voicemails and emails just fell on deaf ears. Their response documented in the case report on the last call we made to Mitsubishi Motors on 6/17/22 the CR rep said the decision is final and that they would not do anything, and we should contact our insurance. Mitsubishi's not only "Did not inspect the vehicle" but also never inquired with any intelligent questions as to why the airbags and FCM system failed to operate. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone and is currently in my garage with less then 400 miles on it and is available for inspection. No prior warning lights were displayed. The dashboard currently displays crash signal and forward warning lights.

My wife was parked and inadvertently put the Outlander in gear while turned around to get something from the back seat. By the time she noticed the Outlander was moving they ran into the front end of a SUV about 20 feet away. No warning alerts went off nor did the imminent crash braking engage.

Hood flutter at any speed, back struts leak oil now the SUV feel unsafe to drive car shake and feel losing control when driving in the highway, steering wheel is super sensitive quick turns this makes the SUV feel nervous and busy and is making worse the problem with the struts current miles on the car 9,452

The contact owns a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that while driving at speeds exceeding 60 MPH, the hood became unsecured and was vibrating and bouncing up and down. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who informed the contact that the failure was due to the wind blowing under the hood. A weather strip was installed on the vehicle but the failure persisted. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100.

The hood of the vehicle vibrates and lifts while driving, especially at higher speeds, causing alarm to driver and passengers. The dealership did not disclose the known issue when we purchased and was subsequently contacted within days of purchasing regarding the problem. We presented personally and was told rather than replacing the latch and seals like some dealers, our entire hood would be replaced as the manufacturer suggested. It took multiple unanswered calls to ascertain the status so the vehicle could be dropped off, ultimately we had to visit in-person to sort it out due to short staffing. After having the vehicle for 19 days to replace the hood, the new one has been painted twice as a result of defects in workmanship (paint) and is still experiencing the vibration and lift while driving. The dealership has requested we return the vehicle for further evaluation of the new hood’s issues. In addition to the hood replacement, the vehicle was serviced due to ‘sloppiness’ in the rear shocks during the same visit. We were informed they were not leaking or ‘blown’, and an alignment had been performed.

The contact owns a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, with a vehicle approaching from the rear, the rear collision alert sensor and warning chime would only flash for a second at a very low sound level. The contact stated that the rear collision alert also did not chime very loudly while reversing the vehicle and approaching an obstacle. The contact stated that the warning chime was too faint and too short for alerting him. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and found that there was no failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

Both front Struts bearing are rattling in every corner or bump stopper when driving. Was notify since the second week of buying and they replace the parts but it get worst. Hood fluttering, Gas smell in the cabin when you are park with the a/c on after 20 minutes. Engine lose power the last month and they have to update the computer software. The cellphone wifi charger presented problem and they have to update the software once again because lost signal and wasn't charging.

The day I purchased the vehicle I had to get on the interstate to drive home. I was going 65-70 and I thought the hood would fly up. It vibrates like crazy and flutters. It’s a serious safety distraction as you are looking at the hood constantly to make sure it stays down. I called the dealership and they said they had never heard of this and would have the service department reach out. They didn’t. It still happens everyday.

My problem is the flapping of the hood of my vehicle, this happens on the highway and in the city, this starts at speeds of 60mph or on roads in poor condition, with strong winds this gets worse it looks like it is going to fly away, I already visited 2 times my local dealer where i bought it but couldn't fix it.

The contact owns a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH on the highway, an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the RPM was revving while the vehicle was idle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V027000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

Bought new 2022 Outlander for daughter because of Safety features. She wasn't paying attention and got into a very standard rear end collision with air bags going off. The Frontal collision system did not give a warning signal and did not do any emergency braking. The system was not turned off by us.

Back in October 2021 the vehicle in question stopped functioning while driving with our 12 year old and 10 months old baby in the back seat, a warning of engine malfunction showed up on the dashboard almost causing an accident. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and after a few days they didn't find anything. 5 months later and 7000 miles later we received the safety recall letter for what we believe is the same issue we had last year. In addition and after many calls an a few visits to the dealership they haven't been able to address nor fix the fluttering in the hood and rear bumper which we consider is really dangerous. Is Mitsubishi waiting for a tragedy to happen? They want us to drive this vehicle knowing that the engine may stall again and cause an accident.

I purchased a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL Special Edition. I wear a Dexcom G6 and an Omnipod Dash. The cars GHz and my diabetic equipment (2.4ghz) are running into interference. The car has stop running while driving down the road, has had all dash lights flashing on and off while driving, when locking the doors the engine has started…..etc,etc,etc….My question is, is there someone out there that has any ideas or has had this problem? The dates are feb 25, feb 27 &mar 3 I purchased with 7 miles and have only driven it 3 times. There is about 400 miles from service center and others. Not sure about pictures and videos worked will

I purchased 2022 Outlander in September of 2021. The hood on the vehicle at any speed looks as though it is going to fly up but gets much worse at higher speeds and on the highway. It actually looks like it is going to break loose and fly up and hit the wind shield. It is scary to drive at times thinking this will happen. Also the leather material on each side of the console has come undone and has been on back order since November 2021. I have called dealership and they are going to check hood when I go into get interior issue fixed.

The hood on my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SE AWD shakes at speeds 50 mph and higher. My Outlander was produced in November 2021. The hood shakes so violently that I am afraid it might fly open

Hood flutters or vibrates when driving 60 mph and above .

The front hood is structurally weak, causing flexing, bouncing, and fluttering. When driving over 55 mph, it feels like the hood is going to pop open while driving. It is a very distracting and unsafe feeling when driving on the highway.

The hood vibrates uncontrollably at highway speed. It looks like the hood is about to come off and crash into the windshield. I called both the manufacturer and the dealer. I was told they know about the problem, but they have not figured out a fix. Mitsubishi told me they might have to replace the hood and repaint the entire car or add additional equipment to secure the hood. Mitsubishi sent me an email survey which I filled it out and returned to them. The second time I called them about the problem they told me to take it to the dealer. The problem first occurred when I drove it at highway speed. When I took another highway drive it happened again, and I pulled over to make sure the hood was closed and locked into place. Finally on January 15, 2022, I took a longer trip to another state, and it was really bad. Another person in the car saw the obvious problem and we pulled over to check the hood. We did not know why the hood was bouncing so violently and I immediately contacted both the manufacturer and dealer.

Hood flutters excessively at highway speed. I don't want to drive above 60mph for fear that the hood and latch will fatigue and strain to keep the hood in place. I fear the hood flying off and causing an accident or fatality. This is a design issue that may be life threatening and is keeping me from utilizing the vehicle at highway speed thus diminishing value and causing excessive fear of endangering the highway safety.

The hood rattles, and moves with every bump. I passed a semi truck going approximately 60 mph, the hood looked like it was going to fly up and hit windshield.

The hood shakes and moves on highway. Looks like it going to come open.

The Hood Flutters violently while driving making it a constant distraction with the fear that the hood will come loose and strike the windshield or fly off while driving

When driving on the expressway at speeds above 50mph, the hood appears to lift up. Almost as if it’s about to detach or lift up from the base. I am worried this may cause an accident to my family or others.

The car hood doesn't close tight enough and it feels like it will come open when driving on highway with high speed. Lots of vibration and movement in the hood cover. It feels like it is not securely shutt .

Upon purchasing a BRAND new 2022 vehicle you expect the vehicle to be in great shape with no cosmetic issues nor issues under the hood well that wasn’t the case for me. I test drove the vehicle locally and it was fine. After a couple weeks I needed to drive on I95 and when I got up close to 60MPH THE HOOD STARTED FLUTTERING LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BLOW OFF! I was freaking out and swerved because I was watching the hood praying f it wouldn’t fly off! My kids were in the vehicle with me as well. I called and spoke with Mitsubishi and they offered a temporary sealant that “could” stop the fluttering. It didn’t! I contacted them immediately and informed them this has to be replaced or fixed correctly! I’ve been going back and forth with the dealer and WellsFargo to cancel the loan and get my money back! The dealer told me several times since 2021 November that the manufacturer should have a new hood within one month and it’s about to February and it still isn’t fixed! I was told that reversing the contract and getting my money back is out of the question and they will have a new hood by February. I’ve been an emotional wreck! I am a single mom of 3 and got out of one disabled vehicle just to get into a lemon and be low balled by the dealer giving me the run around and won’t refund my money for an error of what NEED to be a RECALL on the 2022 Outlander hoods! Several people have this issue and I’ve posted it on my social media as well! I’ve been told by the dealer the hood won’t blow

When driving 65mph on highway hood flutters. This is causing anxiety thinking hood will become loose. I’ve spoken to the dealership and they did assure me that it will not However it’s impossible to say that it would never happen. This is a huge safety issue and something that needs to be rectified

When driver at a speed of 45 or higher the hood vibrates looks as though it’s going to come up or fly off. It’s very concerning need this fixed asap

My vehicle hood is shaking/fluttering as if it is not latched properly. I am concerned this may fly up and cause an accident. I have had my vehicle less than a month.

Hood shakes with speeds greater than 30mph. When on the highway the shaking is violent and it seems the hood will fly open. The shops I have called say Mitsubishi is aware of the issue and not fixing it at this time.

I purchased this vehicle on 12/24/2021. Today 01/03/2022 I was taking it to the dealership for a very severe case of the hood fluttering and my forward collision warning came on for no reason and began flashing and I got the message that the system is off. I informed the dealership about it and they said there was some glitch in the system and they reset it. At about one mile from home after leaving the dealership, the same warning came on. I'm afraid that in an emergency situation where and when needed the system will not respond as designed.

I purchased this vehicle on 12/24/2021. After purchasing and driving off the lot, I noticed a significant amount of hood fluttering. Irrespective of the speed , the flutter is significant and a distraction and can affect one driving safely.

The hood of my vehicle is always shaky and seems that it would come off the engine whenever I accelerate on the highway and when the vehicle is operating in a high wind environment. Why? This incident is happening always.

When the vehicle goes above 50 mph the hood begins to move in a fluttering manner. The faster you go the worse the hood moves.

The hood flutters or bounces at any speed over 30. Gets significantly worse the faster you go making you feel unsafe like the hood will fly open. Even on bumps the hood shakes. There are no recalls and most dealerships are offering temporary fixes. Mitsubishi is aware of the problem but not doing anything about it. I've done research and this is a huge issue with this model. No owner has been given a good "fix."

The hood shakes when driving above 40MPH, it increases intensity as you drive faster, feeling like it will come unlatched, resulting in an accident. Is there going to be a recall for this?

The hood is fluttering after 25mph

The contact owns a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that the engine malfunction, power reduced warning message was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over and restart the vehicle after waiting approximately an hour. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and told the contact that the vehicle was safe to drive. The failure mileage was approximately 900.

Since having purchased the vehicle in October 2021, the hood flutters/vibrates whenever the vehicle is being driven at speeds of 60MPH or more. The faster the vehicle drives, the more violently the hood flutters/vibrates. We have taken it to the dealer for repair, and they informed us that Mitsubishi is aware of the issue but they have yet to issue repair or do a recall. After speaking with Mitsubishi Corporate in the US, they said they are not planning to do a recall or offer a timeframe for a repair, but fully admitted to being aware of the issue, After doing research online, I found that many if not most of the 2022 Outlanders have this very serious issue. Not only is it scary driving with the hood vibrating, but it will cause unnecessary wear and tear on the vehicle and possibly cause a catastrophic incident. The vehicle is readily available for inspection. We want Mitsubishi to do the right thing and recall the vehicle and provide a permeant fix ASAP.

The hood flutters violently while driving. The manufacturer has already issued a TSB to try to fix the issue but it has not. There are hundreds if not thousands of complaints online about this issue. I’m afraid that the hood may fly up while driving.

The hood flutters at any speed or if u hit a bump to the point it is not safe.

When driving on highway you the hood of the car fluttering and vibrating. It is very scary and I always feel like the hood is coming off.

At higher speeds 55+ the hood of the car flexes and moves violently as if it were not completely latched. Upon further inspection once I stopped the hood was properly latched.

When driving at freeway speeds in windy condition, the hood shakes and flexes in a frightening manner, suggesting that the hood could be flying open at any moment. This is visible and upsetting from a driver or passenger viewpoint. My first impression was that the hood was made of too thin metal and that certain wind dynamics at highway speeds causes this shocking flexing and shaking. This was a brand new vehicle with under 100 miles on it. The next day I returned the vehicle to the dealer and they returned my down payment check that I had given then two days earlier, thus cancelling the deal. It seems they had heard of this issue before.

The vehicles hood shakes and flutters when traveling above approximately 45mph and gets worse the faster vehicle travels. I fear this is causing excess wear on the hood latch and the hood will eventually fly up causing driver to be unable to see. Been like this since new. Has been back go dealership twice with no fix.

The hood of the car flutter could cause an accident.

When this vechile reaches speed over 45 miles per hour..the front hood .flutters and shakes as if it’s going to fly open blocking the driver from seeing the road..also over time the vibration will crack the latch.making it a deadly dangerous situation..thanks
