2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

Unexpected Collision Warning and Emergency Braking Application On May 8, 2023 at approximately 5:55pm local time. Traveling southbound on Beneva Road in Sarasota FL at 35 MPH. Closest intersection Parkland Avenue. Two lane southbound configuration. Subject vehicle was in the rightmost lane with a pickup truck in the left southbound lane. Pickup's rear bumper was adjacent to the front of subject vehicle's front bumper. Pickup was slowly passing subject vehicle. There was also a bicycle on the sidewalk to the west of the subject vehicle. All of the sudden the collision warning alerted and the subject vehicle performed an emergency braking application. Vehicle slowed to about 10 MPH before the emergency braking was released and driver was able to recover car operation.

The contact owns a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle failed to exceed 10 MPH. The battery warning light illuminated, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as needed. The contact was able to drive to his destination; however, the vehicle later failed to restart. The vehicle was jumpstarted and taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed but no issues were found; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the battery was replaced; however, upon replacing the battery, the vehicle remained in LIMP Mode with the Forward Collision Avoidance system being inoperable. Additionally, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a tech support was assigned to provide remote assistance to the dealer in diagnosing the vehicle; however, the tech support was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle had been at the dealer for 71 consecutive days. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 38,249.

Nothing but issues with the safety of this vehicle since I purchased it. Hood flutters while driving. Backup camera stops working. Audio stops working. Front end collision sensors constantly say they're blocked and can't function even when the car is clean amd its sunny outside. The dealership says they can't ever reproduce any of the issues when I take it in. They did replace the hood but it still seems to flutter a bit when driving above 50 mph. All 4 tires have severe edgewear and the vehicle doesn't even have 17000 miles on it. I have had nothing but issue after issue with this vehicle since purchasing it in May of 2022.

Collision avoidance system and cruise control become disabled when driving. For the first 3 months vehicle system worked fine, after that the collision avoidance system and cruise control would occasionally shut off when driving. Took it to the dealership out 5 months ago, they said there was no fix and wait for a recall. Since then it is occurring more often and we made another appointment for next week to get it fixed. I've seen other comments from owners of this vehicle with the same problem. I bought this vehicle for the safety options of the collision avoidance system, but with it shutting off while driving it poses a hazard and not a safety benefit

Driver side mirror does not always open back up when unlocking the car. Have to close the mirrors and then open them again. Cruise control will hard stop when a vehicle comes in front and takes too long to speed back up after car is no longer in front. Dangerous on high speed highways. You have to turn off cruise control when this happens to get back up to speed. Hood replacement was requested a year ago. Still waiting and still nervous driving it. Backup camera still turns off in reverse. You have to wait for it to come back on before continuing reversing. So many problems from day one. If I could, I'd get rid of this.

This car has been a problem child since day one. Yesterday I was driving on the highway normally and out of nowhere received a warning on my dashboard about all of these malfunctions and that my ABS, 4WD system, collision system, etc was malfunctioned and turned off. This was followed by a quick sudden jolt of my car. It stayed on throughout the remainder of the day and then all of the alerts disappeared once I turned off my car and back on later that day. Although the alerts turned off… it is still very concerning to me.
