Owner complaints4
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners report several electrical system issues with the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander. Complaints frequently mention erratic behavior of the vehicle's audio and communication systems, such as the volume unexpectedly increasing, phone calls disconnecting, and voice activation triggering without input. Additionally, some owners describe synchronization problems with the driver and media screens, slow or blank displays, and instances where all electrical components, including lights and AC, fail while the vehicle continues running. A recurring issue involves the battery not maintaining charge, with one owner noting this occurred around 5,000 miles. Safety implications include the potential for driver distraction due to unexpected audio changes and system malfunctions.
Owner complaints4
POWER TRAIN
Owners of the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander report issues primarily related to the power train. Complaints frequently mention the vehicle rolling backwards on inclines despite being in an automatic transmission, as well as one wheel experiencing delayed propulsion before reaching 35,000 miles. Additionally, there are reports of significant power reduction in cold climates, which affects heating systems and limits speed to about 40 MPH. A serious safety incident is noted where a vehicle unexpectedly accelerated into a highway, resulting in a crash after brake failure and requiring the use of the on/off button to stop the car. These complaints highlight potential safety risks and operational challenges, particularly in cold weather or when shifting gears.
Owners of the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander report issues with the front driver's seat belt, specifically problems with retraction and connection. One complaint describes a seat belt that fails to retract properly, leading to door damage, with concerns about its reliability in an accident. Another owner reports difficulty latching the seat belt, with the buckle casing fracturing due to failed microscrews, and a clicking noise linked to unsecured door check arm bolts, which they resolved by tightening. These issues are noted at low mileage, around 4,000 miles, and suggest potential safety implications if the seat belt does not function as intended in an accident.
Owner complaints2
ENGINE
Owners report issues with the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander engine, primarily involving erratic RPM fluctuations at idle and persistent engine warning messages. Symptoms frequently described include the check engine light activation and a warning of reduced power, which appears as early as 30 days after purchase or around 50,000 miles. One owner details a progression from engine coil replacement to head gasket repair and eventual engine replacement, with another owner experiencing repeated unresolved warnings despite multiple dealer visits. No reports of crashes, fires, or loss of control are mentioned, but the need for significant repairs and repeated warnings may concern potential buyers.
Owner complaints2
STEERING
Owners of the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander report issues related to steering control and responsiveness. Complaints frequently mention a complete lack of steering response, even when attempting to navigate or slow down, particularly under adverse conditions like snowy roads. Another owner describes the steering wheel behaving erratically, with the front wheels moving in the opposite direction during a turn, accompanied by unusual suspension noises. These issues are noted at very low mileage, around 8 miles in one case, and have resulted in at least one crash with injuries, indicating significant safety implications. Potential buyers should be aware of these steering control problems, especially since they can occur shortly after purchase.

BACK OVER PREVENTIONNHTSA 25V369000Jun 2, 2025
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles. Due to a software error in the in-vehicle infotainment system (A-IVI), the rearview camera image may freeze, or not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will update the A-IVI software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 30, 2025. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-25-001. This recall replaces and expands previous NHTSA recall number 23V345. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 23V345 will need to have the new remedy completed.
