2022 Mitsubishi Outlander problems

“Bought this used 2022 Outlander from Carvana Sept 10, 2026 at 58,350 miles for family use. A chain-like rattle began shortly after delivery. An authorized Mitsubishi dealer's R/O 6116238, open Sept 22/closed Sept 30, mileage in 58,939/out 58,940, confirms the RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS MISSING THE BOLTS CONNECTING IT TO ITS SLIDE PINS. New guide pins/bolts were installed and the noise was gone on a test drive. I report paperwork showed Carvana brake work before delivery. Please investigate whether this condition resulted from pre-delivery repair or failed inspection; the records do not identify who omitted the bolts. The dealer also confirmed hood shaking/flutter above 60 mph, cited TSB 26-42A-002 and a reinforced replacement hood. Its narrative says parts ordered, panel to be painted and customer to return for installation; replacement completion is not established. On Oct 30 the next servicing dealership said Mitsubishi's hood was still awaited. On Oct 31 I reported apparent bending near the windshield and water pooling; no photo or professional causation finding for that new observation is supplied. No federal hood recall has been established. The brake-fastener…”

“I am writing to escalate a severe safety violation by my dealership regarding my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. My infotainment screen is freezing and looping black, which leaves me without a functioning rearview safety camera. I brought the vehicle in for Safety Recall SR-25-001 (NHTSA Campaign 25V369), but the software update failed. The dealership is now refusing to order a replacement radio unit, claiming my car is "not covered due to mileage." Safety recalls do not have mileage limits, and this defect is explicitly covered under TSB 2554002 (the 7-year, unlimited-mileage warranty extension for 2020–2022 Outlander touchscreens). I have tried calling 3 times and went in person twice with zero resolution. I need a corporate case manager to immediately contact the dealership and authorize a full hardware replacement.”

“2 issues contributed to accident: 1st - Vehicle did not go into Park when button on gear shift was pushed. Driver did not notice that vehicle remained in Drive and exited the vehicle. 2nd - Vehicle did not automatically engage the emergency brake/park mode it is designed to do when Vehicle is in drive and driver door opens. As a result, Vehicle began to roll forward. Driver was knocked down and fell to ground and Vehicle ran over her legs, coming to a stop with the rear Driver side tire on her leg.”

“While operating my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, a strong raw gasoline odor began entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC vents. The odor is present while driving but becomes significantly stronger when the vehicle is stopped and idling. After the engine is turned off, the gasoline odor gradually improves. The condition has occurred repeatedly. I am concerned about occupants being exposed to gasoline vapors inside the passenger compartment and the potential safety risk associated with fuel vapors being present during normal vehicle operation. I contacted a Mitsubishi dealership regarding the problem. The dealer advised that the only open recall currently showing for the vehicle is an unrelated software recall. The fuel odor has not yet been diagnosed or repaired by the dealer. Mitsubishi has issued Technical Service Bulletin TSB-25-17-001, “In-Cabin Fuel Smell When Vehicle Is Idling or Being Driven,” for 2022-2024 Outlanders. The bulletin describes fuel evaporation causing an in-cabin fuel odor associated with the location of the canister vent and provides a repair procedure involving the fuel filler tube assembly and vent location. There were no…”

“The front and rear backup cameras on my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander have completely failed, leaving me with a blank, black screen. This creates a severe safety hazard when parking and reversing. My vehicle's VIN explicitly shows an active "Remedy Status: Repair Available" on the official Mitsubishi portal for safety recalls SR-25-001, SR-23-001, and SR-22-003.The local dealerships claim the recall was already completed in April. However, if the safety issue was truly and permanently fixed, the "Remedy Status" column would match and say "Completed." Instead, the manufacturer's live system explicitly says "Repair Available," proving my vehicle is legally owed the updated software fix.Despite this clear safety status, Jeremy Franklin Mitsubishi (demanding 182) and Northtowne Mitsubishi (demanding 169) are refusing to perform these safety repairs unless I pay an out-of-pocket diagnostic fee. Mitsubishi Corporate Customer Relations has also refused to stop the dealerships from imposing these illegal financial barriers on an open federal safety recall”

“Automatic Emergency Breaking sometimes occurs while driving in rainy weather even when there are no obstructions in the front of the vehicle. This causes spinouts and exccessive wear and tear on break pads and rotors. Also, many shops and dealerships are having issues with putting 2022 year model outlanders in "maintenance mode" to be able to change rear ebs brakes. Due to this you cannot drive your vehicle and/or rish not having proper break functions. THIS IS URGENT!!!”
