Owner complaints3
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander report issues primarily related to the electrical system. A notable complaint involves the failure of airbags to deploy during a high-speed collision with a deer, which resulted in significant damage. Another owner describes a malfunction with the remote start and unlocking system, leading to an inability to access the vehicle normally, with the instrument panel displaying incorrect readings. Additionally, some owners experience issues with the vehicle tripping the GFI when disconnecting from charging before completion, a problem not observed with other vehicles using the same charger. These complaints arise early in ownership, with one reported just four days after purchase, highlighting potential safety implications and functional concerns for prospective buyers.
Owners report issues with the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander's forward collision avoidance system, particularly when using adaptive cruise control. Complaints frequently mention the cruise control shutting off unexpectedly, accompanied by the forward collision warning light activating, and later resetting after some time. Additionally, multiple owners describe erratic braking behavior, such as the vehicle braking harshly at red lights or failing to stop when necessary. These issues have been present since the car's release in late 2024 and pose potential safety risks, especially at highway speeds where loss of control can occur. Buyers should be aware that the vehicle may lack reliable forward collision protection, as some dealers acknowledge the problem without offering a solution.
Owner complaints2
SEAT BELTS
Owners report issues with the seat belt retraction system in the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander, primarily involving slow retraction of the driver and passenger seat belts. Complaints frequently mention that this slow retraction leads to seat belts becoming jammed in the doors, which poses a safety risk by potentially delaying emergency exit and causing damage to the vehicle doors. The problems are observed soon after leasing the vehicle, as one owner notes incidents occurring since August 2025. No warning lights or messages are reported prior to the failure. Buyers should be aware of these symptoms, as they are reported by multiple owners and could impact both safety and convenience.
Owner complaints2
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owners of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander report issues with the vehicle speed control system, with one incident involving a crash. A significant complaint involves sudden unintended acceleration without warning, leading to a total loss accident despite attempts to brake and the Forward Collision Warning system not activating. Another report describes the cruise control system ceasing to function properly at high speeds, displaying a "Radar Interrupted" message, with this issue recurring multiple times around 19,000 miles. Safety implications include loss of vehicle control and a collision, which are critical for potential buyers to consider. These issues are reported both in relatively new vehicles and those with higher mileage, indicating potential variability in when they might occur.
