Struck in right front quarter panel by pickup truck going 70mph which totalled my vehicle and caused injuries to myself and grandson but no airbags deployed. Deployment would have reduced our injuries.
My car was totaled a few days ago i was driving home and hit a dear at 55mph and my air bags did not deploy my front end was destroyed my radiator was destroyed along with other parts of the car and the car was considered totaled. I was informed my air bags should of deployed but they did not
My air bags did not deploy, the seat belt did not engage. Therefore i struck the steering wheel twice, and whipped my neck.
Between april and may 2014 this 2013 mitsubishi outlander has been having difficulty in starting, at one point it would not start at all.some belts (i don't know which) squeak every so often. On 03 july 2014 the dealer where the vehicle was purchased and has since been receiving it's scheduled maintenance, indicated that the alternator has to be replaced and that they had none in stock. I was told to call back in a week.i have called every week since then and i am always told it is in back order, that there are many of the same vehicles waiting for this part.seems to me that this is indicative of a problem. It has been 55 days since they finally diagnosed the problem and cannot keep a alternator for my vehicle in stock long enough to replace the faulty one in my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2013 mitsubishi outlander. While driving 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to immediately stop. Also, the acs malfunction warning indicator illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle would not start without being (7) jumpstarted. The vehicle was taken tonorth palm mitsubishi (572 northlake blvd, north palm beach, fl 33408, (561) 328-9121) where the computer was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,300.*pm
I was driving on the highway when an active stability control service warning displayed on the dashboard. It was coupled with the check engine light and immediately caused my car to seize up making me momentarily lose control of the vehicle. As i regained control the vehicle continued to resist any acceleration while the rpms would frequently spike. I also lost anti-lock brake functionality with no dashboard warning. Through my mechanic i later found out the car was forcing itself into "limp mode" because the engine air flow sensor was giving a faulty reading. All of this put my car into conditions for a crash had i not acted quickly to avoid it. It also created a repair bill that was unnecessary as this is apparently part of a known technical service bulletin tsb-13-13-008. I find it inappropriate and irresponsible of mitsubishi to not have alerted me to the defect in the air flow sensor and filter box. It caused a needless dangerous driving condition and excess repairs.

On april 12th, thursday night around 8 pm, i was heading near the i-290/ i-90 intersection, riding on i-90 west. I heard a sharp crack in the front of the car.i lost power steering, check battery charge light came on and within 2-3 minutes, engine overheating light came on. I brought my car to a stop in a safe area between the intersecting highways. A highway worker protected me with his safety truck till aaa tow truck took my car to the local schaumburg mitsubishi dealerany steps you took to isolate the problem, such as checking for floor mats. Be specific about what you did and how you did it.the dealer/service personnel found that the belt tensioner bearing was pulling out and the belt was not riding on the pulley correctly.the tensioner was replaced and the serpentine belt was replacedi believe this is a design fault with the belt tensioner/ bearing and should be fixed for these cars. A simple google search will show this is a fairly common problem

Arrived home after purchase around 8pm. Noticed water condensation inside driver side headlight.brought back to dealer twice.first time back no answers, second time back they say "it is due to the car sitting in the parking lot for a while, no repaired needed"due to the cold temperature outside and the hot temperature inside the headlamp the water condensation begins to clould the view of actual light thus decreasing visibility on the driver side due to the blocked light.basically driving with one headlight~ must be a faulty sealed headlamp enclosure that needs to be resealed,recalled, or just replaced.
I noticed oil dripping from underneath the motor and transmission took vehicle to the dealership they said it was to full of oil, took vehicle back home continued to leak, took vehicle back again to dealership for same leak they said it was the cvt filter so they replaced it. Took vehicle home parked it in garage when i woke up next day to check on it there was a puddle of oil under the motor and transmission, had to have the vehicle towed back to dealership and now they are saying the seal between the motor and trans. Is bad, then they said that wasn't it that the transmission's mold is defective and they have to order a new transmission from mitsubishi in japan, i haven't had the vehicle now for almost 3 weeks and they told me it would be another 2 weeks.
After a long drive, even more so uphills, the transmission starts slipping and the car hesitates to go after a stop. A warning message that the transmission is over heatingappears and the car runs at high rpms at only 60 mph. Error code p1778 has appeared twice. The car only has 71,000 miles
At 115,000 miles, the transmission went out. My suv no longer goes above 30mph without the rpms wildly jumping. Both the 2014 and 2015 models have a recall for this very cvt issue but the 2013 does not.
My air bags did not deploy, the seat belt did not engage. Therefore i struck the steering wheel twice, and whipped my neck.
3rd row seat broke the fabric has given away there is no support or any type of cushion for your butt. All there is , is the metal frame structure and when you fold the seat back to store it, it wont stay down, doesn't latch so when your driving any bump you hit or on the freeway the seat rattles and bounces up and down, i feel this is a big safety hazard, we will not let our kids sit back there anymore, also it hurts them to sit on that seat, we took it to the dealership on 5-2-2013 and they told us mitsubishi considers it to be trim and wont do anything about it, as far as the latch to hold the seat down when it is folded they said that's the way it is, it was never like that until the day my 15 yr old daughter sat back there and the fabric tore underneath and she said the seat didn't feel right, when i looked at it and tried to fold it back down the seat felt sloppy like something broke mechanical wise, im upset cause that's why we bought this vehicle it has three rows of seats, mitsubishi dealership said its a temporary seat not to be used all the time. There is nothing that stats its a temporary seat or a weight limit anywhere on the vehicle or in the vehicles manual.....please help

I had owned myoutlander for just over a weekand was attempting a normal left hand turn. My long-sleeve, cuffed shirt became caught on the lower portion of the right paddle shifter. As i attempted to straighten the car from the turn, the wheel turned and pulled my stuck right arm into an opening on the steering wheel.consequently, my vehicle continued turning into oncoming traffic as i bothtried to stop and free my arm. Luckily, approaching traffic saw my car in enough time to avoid hitting me.i was not able to free my hand until i brought the car to a stop and repositioned the steering wheel. The paddle shifters on this car are eachover 4" long and awkwardly placed on the steering column. Clothing or jewelry can easily become entangled in the mechanism. I believe my safety and the potential safety of other outlander ownersis in question. I have asked the company to remove them from my car to which mitsubishi corporate replied "we are unable to provide any procedures or recommendations for the removal of the paddle shifters." my dealerships hands are tied with mitsubishi headquarters position. I feel that the company is making light of my concern and has no interest in acknowledging or solving this problem.

Without warning the rpm will drop to zero. At first it would start right back up without having to restart it. Now without warning it will just die and rpm goes to zero and i have to restart it. Check engine light will come on but no diagnostic codes are stored as to what the problem is. It has happened while stopped as well as driving don the road at 50 mph.

We purchase this vehicle from little joe's mitsubishi at1601 s military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320 on may 20, 2016 as a pre owned vehicle. Two weeks after taking possession of the vehicle one day when it was raining, the wipers would stop with the wiper blades straight up and down and stay there till l hit the wiper handle on the steering wheel on the right side, l called the dealership and spoke to chris blair tje sales representative and advised him of this the same day it happened, he tol me he would transfer me to service, spoke to a manager name was nicole in service and told her the problem, she told me to bring the vehicle in, told her l would when l returned back to the state as l was out of state as this wiper situation happened to me on the way to the airport in my area. I scheduled an appointment for friday june 17,2016 and they had a mechanic check it and this is what they said was possible wrong, see attached. They told me l would have to pay half of $632 which was $316 and l told them they needed to replace this as it was a safety issue, and god forbid if they stopped working while l was driving when it was raining or snowing or any wet condition l could be potentially involved in an accident as l would not be able to see where l am going, the service manager nicole who was rude said it was working when we had the vehicle, l told her l did not break it. I told her this is a safety related driving issue, she did not want to hear about it. I asked for the copy of the situation in relation to the wiper issue and told her l would file a complaint. I am asking they replace this safety related driving issue at there expense 100%, since may 20, 2016 till june 17, 2016 l have only put 1623 miles on the vehicle since l took ownership. The finance manager on may 20,2016 when asked if the fluids had been changed stated yes, service department says only oil was.
