Bought this New 2022 Outlander 10/01/2021, but on 11/07/2021, the car's software suddenly disabled the Adaptive Cruise Control function and Forwad Collsion Warning when i driving on the highway. I tried to drive to a safe place, stop the car and restart it, and the warnings disappeared. But after driving for a few dozen miles, the warning suddenly reappeared. Then the following function and collision prevention function are all disabled, if the front vehicles suddenly brakes and slows down on the highway, my car will probably crash directly into it. I will go to the car store today to ask the problem and hope to get a reply. For the time being, I have not produced an accident, but the car software keeps failing, which is scary. This car's warning lights keep popping up every few dozen miles of driving with the radar safety system these fail, restarting and then getting better, then getting same problem over and over again. And if there is a car in front, the radar does not detect the vehicle in front, the car system or continue to drive, and will not slow down with the car in front.
2022 Mitsubishi Outlander complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2022 record →
Good morning. Mitsubishi attempted fix at my hood flutter recall in July 2021 and problem still active. Hood bounces and flutters and is very distracting. There is no permanent fix at this time. Also, the forward collision included in the MiPilot is not active. When looking at the manual, the image of a “car” appears when system is engaged. For my vehicle, this is not showing as active. Again, no fix or remedy from dealer and Mitsubishi tech support. Very unsettling as this would really assist with distracted driving while the hood is bouncing around.
CAR ENGINE HOOD SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE HIGHER THE SPEEND THE MORE IT SHAKES. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF SAME ISSUE AND HAVE TAKEN OUTLANDER IN FOR SERVICE WITHOUT FAVORORABLE RESULTS. ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. I WILL TAKE MY OUTLANDER FOR SERVICE AS SOON AS I AM ABLE.
Hood has a flutter when reaching certain speeds and hitting bumps.
At higher highway speeds the hood gets air under it, causing the hood to “flutter” or “bounce”. At higher speeds it looks like the hood could almost fly up. I feel very unsafe driving with this, i’ve been told it can’t make my hood fly up, but i worry about it everytime i drive.
The hood shakes during operation of the vehicle. It seems to be latched but it seems like it is going to open at anytime driving at higher speeds.

Going down the highway and the hood start to look like it's coming off the car
The vehicle shows a check engine light after refueling. After some troubleshooting, I found that the issue is the cap-less fuel fill system. After some time, the check engine goes away. Or in some cases never does. This creates an issue because the vehicle does not remote start due to the present check engine light.
Has significant hood movement at speeds over 50 mph.
My 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander hood vibrates during drives. The vibration starts when the car is moving around 35 - 40 mph or more. I confirmed that it was properly closed, but it concerns me because this repetitive movement may loosen the hood locking system during any future drive. This problem may cause a potentially fatal accident.
Hood raises and flutters at speeds greater than 60 miles per hour. It has been taken to the dealership to be fixed and the issue continues.
I have taken my SUV for to updates in regaurds to repairing the hood that shakes and bounces. It moves up and down when going down the road fast or slow. Its not only the wind that causes this it is also bumps in the road. It oftem seams the hood will fly up and can be pretty scarry. I fewel something needs to be done to help support the hood and make it samefer. If it keeps moving metal fatigue could occure and cause a safety issue that could lead to a death.
At 45mph and above the hood flutters violently.
The front hood is structurally weak, causing flexing, bouncing, and fluttering. When driving over 55 mph, you feel as though the hood is going to open up while driving. It is a very unsettling and unsafe feeling when driving on the highway. You feel as though the hood is going to open up and smash against the windshield. When driving on surface streets where there are bumps in the road, the hood moves a lot. The technical bulletin by Mitsubishi Motors: TSB-21-42A-001 references a hood latch and bumper height adjustment to alleviate the hood fluttering. In reality, the complete hood assembly is unstable. The hood needs to have internal bracing, as well as under hood cross member strength and adhesion, and/or thicker gauge metal for the hood's strength. I was driving on the freeway from the dealership and noticed this. I went back to the dealership to inquire about returning the vehicle. I was informed of my rights, that they had expired after the contract and financing went through and I drove it off the sales lot. Since I am unable to return this vehicle due to this safety issue, I want to make a formal request for a solution. A flimsy hood does not seem reasonable for insurance obligation purposes. What could possibly happen after a while is metal stress fatigue cracking due to movement. A serious injury could occur if the hood was to break loose. The weather strip seal cushion gasket does not alleviate the flutter. I included photos to show where the flex occurs.
I just bought a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander and I noticed while driving on the highway around 60 to 70 MPH the hood is fluttering. I checked the hood just to make sure it was not unlatched and it was secured but the hood continues to flutter looking like it wants to open during highway driving.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
