THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF SAID VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN IN AN OUT OF THE SHOP FOR A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES. IT HAS AN ISSUE THAT CANNOT BE FIXED OF A FAULTY GAS READING CAUSING A PERSON TO NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS THEY TRULY HAVE CAUSING THEM TO OVERFILL OR RUN OUT. MITSUBISHI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE YET DOES NOT HAVE A FIX SO THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT HAS RESULTED IN DEALERSHIP PUTTING LOTS OF MILES ON TO DIAGNOSE WITH NO PREVAIL AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE BEING IN THE SHOP ON A REGULAR BASIS. ISSUE TWO AND MOST RECENT ON JULY 16 WHILE TRAVELING AT 80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GLITCH RESULTS IN MIRRORS OPENING AND CLOSING, DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CLICKING NOISES. THE FOLLOWING DAY AGAIN AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY METRO INTERSTATE WHILE USING GPS THE VEHICLES ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO CYCLE ON AND OFF. (WHILE THESE ARE THE TWO CURRENT ONGOING ISSUES I HAVE A STACK IF REPAIR ORDERS OF OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS VEHICLE SHAKING ABOVE 60MPH, ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE MIRRORS, CLUNKING NOISES UPON TURNING, YOU NAME IT! THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD!) I CAN SEND FUTHER DOCUMENTATION AS REQUIRED AS IT EXCEEDS MAX UPLOAD.

THE 1ST DAY I PURCHASED MY CAR, IT WAS PULLING TO ONE SIDE AND SWAYING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. BECAUSE I PURCHASED MY CAR LATE ONE SATURDAY EVENING, AND THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, I COULDN'T MAKE A REPORT UNTIL THAT MONDAY MORNING. THE 'HEAD' MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TOOK MY CAR FOR A DRIVE WITH ME RIDING WITH HIM, AND STATED, 'THE PULLING AND SWAYING YOU FEEL IS NORMAL. THE WAY THESE CARS ARE MADE WERE COMPUTERIZED THIS WAY.'. BECAUSE I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH CARS, I TOOK THE MECHANIC AT HIS WORD UNTIL ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS LATER I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR SLIDING PARTIALLY OFF THE ROAD. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MITSUBISHI @ 1-888-648-7820, FILE [XXX]. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND EVER SINCE. IT'S BEEN ALMOST 4 MONTHS NOW. I SPOKE WITH MARIUS AT MITSUBISHI MANUFACTURING, AND THEN I WAS REFERRED TO LARRY JOHNSON AT DON HERRING MITSUBISHI IN IRVING TEXAS.

Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is recalling certain 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Outlander Sport, 2018-2019 Eclipse Cross, and 2017-2018 Outlander vehicles equipped with a Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) system that detects pedestrians. Due to incorrect software, the FCM-ECU (Electronic Control Unit) may apply braking for longer than needed, even after a pedestrian is no longer detected.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the FCM-ECU software activates the brake for longer than necessary, the driver may react by applying additional braking. The resulting rapid deceleration of the vehicle can increase the risk of a rear-end collision.
Remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the FCM-ECU software with updated software, free of charge. The recall is began October 16, 2018. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-18-007.
