ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALL POWER OUTLETS IN THE CAR ARE INOPERABLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER 5-6 TIMES TO HAVE THEM ALL RESET. I AM TOLD IT IS FROM USING A PHONE CHARGER (AND I HAVE EVEN TRIED NEW/DIFFERENT PHONE CHARGERS AFTER EACH INCIDENT). ON THE LAST VISIT, I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM, AND THE EASIEST FIX IS NOT TO USE A PHONE CHARGER, AND TO USE IT ONLY AS A CIGARETTE LIGHTER. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A CAR BEING UNABLE TO HANDLE A PHONE CHARGER. TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER OVER AND OVER IS BECOMING INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER THE RIGHT REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WORE DOWN THE BRAKE PAD TO NOTHING CAUSING METAL ON METAL CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. I CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CLOSEST MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE HAD ADJUSTED ITSELF CAUSING THE BRAKES TO DO THIS. I QUESTIONED IF IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE SO IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND HE SAID NO. MITSUBISHI REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS AS "GOOD WILL". I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM. AND WHAT IS GOING STOP IT FROM "READJUSTING ITSELF" AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT MITSUBISHI IS LYING SO IT CAN SAVE MONEY ON NOT RECALLING ALL MITSUBISHI OUTLANDERS AND PUTTING MY FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FRONT SUSPENSION HAS A CLUNK EVERYTIME YOU TURN AND START FROM CERO. RADIO, BACKLIGHT IS TO LOW AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ IT WITH SUNLIGHT IN COLD WEATHER THE VENTS FOR THE A/C CYCLES EVERY 15 SECONDS AND HEADLIGHT, INTERIOR LIGHT DIM EVERY TIME. PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE CHANGING LIGHTS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS CYCLING OF VENTS GOING ON WITH THE A/C ON. THE SYSTEM IS NOT NORMAL WORKING. EVERY OUTLANDER HAS THE SAME ISSUE. IS KIND OF ANNOYING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE LIGHT DIMMING EVERY 15 TO 30 SECONDS. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON JUNE 21,2007 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FRONT OF 2007 MITSIBUSHI OUTLNDER WAS CRUSHED IN. THE CAR WAS 4 MONTHS OLD. THE CAR HAS SINCE BEEN TOTALED DUE TO ABOUT $13,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I WAS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE BODY SHOP STATED THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE AND THAT THE CROSSBEAM THAT HOLDS THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS WHAT BUSTED THE RADIATOR AS WELL AS THE BLOCK. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AS WELL AS MY UNBORN CHILD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN EACH TIME THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 4,200 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,100. THE CONSUMERS WIFE APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN SHE DID THE VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT HOPPED RATHER THAN ROLLING SMOOTHLY AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AGAIN WITHOUT THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. THE BRAKES WORKED FINE THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THEN WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED FOR THE THIRD TIME, THEY LOCKED UP AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT PROBLEM MAYBE AN ABS ECU MALFUNCTION POSSIBLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ESC. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION OR BEARING. UPDATED 06/08/07. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
DASH DISPLAY (CLOCK, RADIO/CD INFORMATION) IS UNREADABLE DURING DAYTIME DRIVING, ESPECIALLY MID-DAY SUNLIGHT. THIS IS DISTRACTING. MY CAR IS UPGRADED WITH THE SOUND PACKAGE, WHICH INCLUDES SIRIUS RADIO AND 6CD CHANGER. WHAT GOOD IS THIS IF YOU CAN'T READ STATION. I'VE HAD TO MEMORIZE THE NUMBER OF TIMES TO PUSH STATION BUTTON. *TR
