"Mi Outlander 2024 tiene falla de frenos desde 8/1/26. Está en [XXX] Mitsubishi Thornton. El dealer negó garantía. Hoy 8/4/26 llamé a Mitsubishi 3 veces a las 7am, 8am y 8:20am pidiendo español por ser falla de seguridad. Me negaron español y me colgaron 2 veces. La tercera vez me dejaron 15 minutos en espera sin contestar. Pido número de caso, grúa pagada a [XXX] que está más cerca de mi casa, y contacto del Gerente de Zona. Esto es discriminación de idioma en defecto de seguridad." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased my 2024 Outlander in August and drive 150 miles daily, Monday to Friday. Since November, with only 2,500 miles on it, I've experienced recurring issues: 1. Adaptive cruise control turns off frequently 2.Forward collision light comes on unnecessarily often several times daily (when starting, driving and when cruise is on) 3.Vehicle brakes suddenly on the interstate 4.Random forward crash light warnings I've taken it to the shop five times, with the following repairs: 1.Radar adjustment (done several times) 2. Radar sensor recalibration (several times) 3. Replacement of forward distance warning sensors 4. Front bumper bracket replacement due to bend 5. Mitsubishi has been involved on 4 occasions 6. I have called and put in a complete with Mitsubishi three times and they always say they will contact me with a resolution within a few days and I have never heard back with any resolution. 7. We have also been made aware that this does not follow the owners manual and has also caused air bags to go off in other situations which has injured customers. Despite these repairs, the issues persist. On January 24, 2025, Valley Imports left a voicemail stating that Mitsubishi acknowledged it's a known issue with some Outlanders, but they don't have a reliable fix.I do have this voicemail but it is to large for me to upload.
