Showing safety data for the 2024 model year only.
The contact owns a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance system failed to activate as needed and the vehicle nearly crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The contact stated that during the failure, the vehicle in front struck a pedestrian, and the pedestrian went airborne and landed on the hood of the contact's vehicle. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance system failed to immediately activate, and the brake pedal was depressed to avoid crashing into the rear of the vehicle ahead. The pedestrian sustained unknown injuries and was transported to the hospital. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was taken to a dealer on several occasions for the seat belts failing to latch and secure the occupants. The dealer mentioned that there might be crumbs preventing the latch however, the contact mentioned that theory was not possible for the driver's seat belt. The failure was present with the seat belts in the second and third row seats. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. A Police report was filed at the scene. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
My 2024 Outlander locked all the doors while the engine was running and the FAST key was inside the vehicle. I exited normally through the driver’s door and did not intentionally lock the vehicle. I want this documented on the repair order and I’d like the keyless-operation system checked, including the interior key antenna and any BCM/keyless-system faults or available software updates. I am available for inspection. Not reproduced except by myself. Vehicle has been inspected by no one. No warning. This is a hazard because a child or pet could have been locked inside. I could be stranded in an unsafe location or in severe weather that would pose a risk to myself. The car could run out of gas by the time I’d figure out how to get back inside.

The vehicle exhibits an intense, overpowering raw gasoline smell inside the passenger cabin, specifically originating from beneath the rear seat area. When the climate control/AC fan is turned on, raw fuel vapors are siphoned directly out of the dashboard air vents into the faces of the occupants, causing headaches and dizziness.Two independent mechanics have pressure-tested the fuel lines and confirmed there are no liquid fuel leaks, proving this is a structural vapor siphoning defect. Mitsubishi has documented this exact factory defect under TSB TS-25-13-001 (NHTSA ID: MC-11018002-0001), but the local dealership refuses to perform the safety repair without a massive out-of-pocket payment because the vehicle has 87,000 miles. This is an immediate fire and health hazard for anyone inside the vehicle.

Front driver seat belt does not retract and has caused damage to door. Vehicle is available for inspection. We are worried that the seatbelt will not function properly in an accident since is does not function properly now. No confirmation by dealer, going in next week for service, however, dealer representative did say on phone that Mitsibishi s don't have seat belt problems??? First noticed problem last winter when I noticed the dents in the door frame being caused by non retracting seatbelt.
