October 15, 2026Electrical System

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

September 22, 2026Fuel/Propulsion System

While operating my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, a strong raw gasoline odor began entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC vents. The odor is present while driving but becomes significantly stronger when the vehicle is stopped and idling. After the engine is turned off, the gasoline odor gradually improves. The condition has occurred repeatedly. I am concerned about occupants being exposed to gasoline vapors inside the passenger compartment and the potential safety risk associated with fuel vapors being present during normal vehicle operation. I contacted a Mitsubishi dealership regarding the problem. The dealer advised that the only open recall currently showing for the vehicle is a

September 22, 2026Structure

The hood on my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander has visibly fluttered, shaken and bounced while driving since I purchased the vehicle used on March 15, 2024, with approximately 80,000 miles. This has been an ongoing condition throughout my ownership, not a single isolated incident. The movement is especially noticeable at highway speeds and can be clearly seen from inside the vehicle while driving. I am concerned that the amount of hood movement could present a safety risk while the vehicle is being operated. I contacted a Mitsubishi dealership regarding the hood flutter and was told they were not aware of this issue. The condition has not been repaired or corrected. Mitsubishi has issued multiple
