What owners say about the electrical system

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“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.”

“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!!!”

“Battery issues, car uses excessive power causing battery to fail. This has caused car to stop working completely while driving. I’ve seen several forums with the same complaints. This stalling out and loss of all electronics while driving is extremely dangerous. This has occurred multiple times since I’ve owned this vehicle.”

The manufacturer was contacted, but the contact was unable to speak to a Customer Care coordinator after waiting for approximately 30 minutes. The failure mileage was approximately 65,665.”

“I was backing out of my driveway and my camera froze and I ran into a truck that was parked behind my car. The form would not let me continue until I checked the air bags box. But I do not know if that pertains to this situation”
