FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
After pumping gas there is a strong smell of gasoline in the vehicle. This is a safety issue for anyone in the vehicle inhaling the fumes. It seems to get stronger when the vehicle is on (for instance at a stop light) the dealership acknowledge this was more common for the 2024 and 2025 models and only a service alert. Vehicle has been inspected by a service tech. No warning lights are on.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
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

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
While putting my car in reverse my backup camera froze and then went completely black. I have tried the hard and soft reset with no luck. You can hear the infotainment system trying to load over and over again with a black screen. While researching, I see there was a previous recall for this exact problem that required a software update which mine had right before I bought it used less than a year ago. If the update did not work or only worked temporarily, the unit had to be replaced. I’m not getting anywhere with my dealership for help. They offered to sell me a $5,000 unit or told me to buy an extended warranty for electronics, wait a month and file a claim. I find it hard to believe that this is not related to recall. I had a 13 year old Nissan pathfinder before his and my backup camera/screen was still going strong.

SUSPENSION
I’ve had it looked at twice at two different places and they don’t see anything wrong with it but when you hit bumps, especially going high rate of speed, it feels like you’re gonna lose control of the backend. When I looked online, there’s multiple people with the exact same issues and they take it in and they see that everything‘s tight and nothing’s worn out but even my daughter doesn’t like driving our car going down the highways because it feels like you’re gonna lose control. My car doesn’t even have 50,000 miles on it and I just bought it. The back end feels like it kicks out to the side.

SEAT BELTS, STRUCTURE:BODY
The seat belts are much slower to retract than with other cars, including our 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander we also own. My wife has had the front passenger seat belt get stuck in the door at least 3 times (likely more) which has required us to make multiple stops at the dealership to fix it. This is certainly a safety risk since the door remains partially open this certainly is something that should be recalled and fixed. Most recent day was today 5/7/26 but has happened many times.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
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!!!

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
Good flutter at speeds above 45 mph or high winds. NTSB issued but not notified, recall should be issued as this is a safety concern, called dealer who stated a tsb was issued but I was not notified. Due to being out of manufacture warranty I will have to pay cost of hood replacement. Mitsubishi is not responding to my outreach. I first notified dealer of concern after purchase and was not informed of tsb, I was told it was safe and a design flaw.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
This model of vehicle (2022) has a known hood flutter that cannot be repaired. It's possible the hood latch could fail and the hood will fly up/open while the vehicle is in motion. My vehicle registration acknowledges a recall but it is not for the hood flutter. I've done research and it is identified on the internet that dealerships know this hood issue exist.
