AIR BAGS
Today my wife accidentally rubbed the front right tire over a sidewalk at about 30 MPH and all the right side airbags deployed, including the right side airbags of both front seats. Also, the driver seatbelt permanently locked. There was no impact to the body and the damage may be classified as total loss of unit. Only about 4 - 6 inches of the wheel rim was damaged.

AIR BAGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Front Collision Mitigation System, FCM, failed on frontal impact and airbags did not deploy. Vehicle did not activate audible or display emergency warning signals prior to frontal impact. We filed a complaint with Mitsubishi Motors national CR, and Director of Service with many calls, voicemails and emails just fell on deaf ears. Their response documented in the case report on the last call we made to Mitsubishi Motors on 6/17/22 the CR rep said the decision is final and that they would not do anything, and we should contact our insurance. Mitsubishi's not only "Did not inspect the vehicle" but also never inquired with any intelligent questions as to why the airbags and FCM system failed to operate. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone and is currently in my garage with less then 400 miles on it and is available for inspection. No prior warning lights were displayed. The dashboard currently displays crash signal and forward warning lights.

My wife was parked and inadvertently put the Outlander in gear while turned around to get something from the back seat. By the time she noticed the Outlander was moving they ran into the front end of a SUV about 20 feet away. No warning alerts went off nor did the imminent crash braking engage.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The hood of the vehicle vibrates and lifts while driving, especially at higher speeds, causing alarm to driver and passengers. The dealership did not disclose the known issue when we purchased and was subsequently contacted within days of purchasing regarding the problem. We presented personally and was told rather than replacing the latch and seals like some dealers, our entire hood would be replaced as the manufacturer suggested. It took multiple unanswered calls to ascertain the status so the vehicle could be dropped off, ultimately we had to visit in-person to sort it out due to short staffing. After having the vehicle for 19 days to replace the hood, the new one has been painted twice as a result of defects in workmanship (paint) and is still experiencing the vibration and lift while driving. The dealership has requested we return the vehicle for further evaluation of the new hood’s issues. In addition to the hood replacement, the vehicle was serviced due to ‘sloppiness’ in the rear shocks during the same visit. We were informed they were not leaking or ‘blown’, and an alignment had been performed.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The day I purchased the vehicle I had to get on the interstate to drive home. I was going 65-70 and I thought the hood would fly up. It vibrates like crazy and flutters. It’s a serious safety distraction as you are looking at the hood constantly to make sure it stays down. I called the dealership and they said they had never heard of this and would have the service department reach out. They didn’t. It still happens everyday.

bought new 2022 Outlander for daughter because of Safety features. She wasn't paying attention and got into a very standard rear end collision with air bags going off. The Frontal collision system did not give a warning signal and did not do any emergency braking. The system was not turned off by us.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
Back in October 2021 the vehicle in question stopped functioning while driving with our 12 year old and 10 months old baby in the back seat, a warning of engine malfunction showed up on the dashboard almost causing an accident. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and after a few days they didn't find anything. 5 months later and 7000 miles later we received the safety recall letter for what we believe is the same issue we had last year. In addition and after many calls an a few visits to the dealership they haven't been able to address nor fix the fluttering in the hood and rear bumper which we consider is really dangerous. Is Mitsubishi waiting for a tragedy to happen? They want us to drive this vehicle knowing that the engine may stall again and cause an accident.

I purchased 2022 Outlander in September of 2021. The hood on the vehicle at any speed looks as though it is going to fly up but gets much worse at higher speeds and on the highway. It actually looks like it is going to break loose and fly up and hit the wind shield. It is scary to drive at times thinking this will happen. Also the leather material on each side of the console has come undone and has been on back order since November 2021. I have called dealership and they are going to check hood when I go into get interior issue fixed.
