Leaving parking spot, bang sound, then a clunking as I turned out. Driver's side coil spring snapped in two places. Now in three pieces. Dealer only part and hard to find. Bought car new. *tr

Front suspension has a clunk everytime you turn and start from cero. Radio, backlight is to low and is impossible to read it with sunlight in cold weather the vents for the a/c cycles every 15 seconds and headlight, interior light dim every time. People think you are changing lights when driving at night because of this cycling of vents going on with the a/c on. The system is not normal working. Every outlander has the same issue. Is kind of annoying to drive at night with the light dimming every 15 to 30 seconds. *tr

When visiting local dealership for a state inspection it was found the rear subframe of my 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2WD Model XLS has rusted completely through. I an internet search it was found that this was a common occurrence and a highly dangerous issue and it would not pass for a safety inspection. It appears from the number of complaints posted on various message boards it is widely known that this inferior component exists in a number of years for this and other models in the Mitsubishi brand. While its was noted in posting that the Mitsubishi dealership recognized this defect as a recall item, it was not showing up in the NTSB safety recall list for my VIN [XXX] . Please advise as to the investigation into this serious component failure and the recall status via return email. I

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Mitsubishi outlander. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 16v458000 (suspension).

Mitsubishi has extended the warranty on this vehicles front coil springs to 120,000 miles or 9 years (whichever comes first). My front coil springs went bad at 120,500 and Mitsubishi refuses to make the necessary repair to their defective parts. The front coil springs, according to Mitsubishi have a "potential" to "corrode from prolonged exposure to anti-freezing agents (such as calcium chloride) used in cold weather areas to clear ice and snow from roadways". I do live in ohio and we have a lot of snow here, but upon searching online I have found that many others who do not live or travel to areas where roads need to be salted (e.g. Texas, florida) have also had the same problem. Also, if alternative front coil springs do not have the potential to corrode under these conditions, should mi

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 141,524.

Passenger side front coil spring fractured and separated while driving. This same issue was previously reported to NHTSA (complaint number: 11012748) for driver side front coil spring as well as to Mitsubishi north america (but got nowhere).

I have been having problems with the wheel turning towards the left. Once I went to Firestone and got tires I was told the my suspension is very loose. It is getting more hard to control the steering.

Left front of vehicle is vibrating/ jerking steering wheel side to side with what sounds like something rubbing hard enough to jerk car side to side. Making a banging noise when turning as though front suspension is broken. I see there is a recall for this issue. I purchased the outlander from a dealership used and was told fixing the recalls wasn't their problem after signing paperwork. Unknown history as I was lied to about issues and salesman was fired. I believe this is a recall issue.

The steering column area of my 2007 Mitsubishi outlander ls makes clicking noises when driven during warm temperatures (only during warm or hot weather, not during the winter). Noises occur when the steering wheel is turned and the dealer indicated that this sounds like a clock spring problem. *tr

On tuesday november 8 2017 my car went out of control. Luckily I was able to safely get off to the side of the road. I had my car towed to my house thinking it was something simple my husband could fix. He looked underneath and checked everything out. He found that my front cross members have completely rotted out. I looked up recalls on my car to see if there was one and I found it. It says that the recall is incomplete. I would like to know what I can do about getting this fixed or if I am going to have to come up with the money myself.

My name is [xxx] and I have reached out to you for assistance as you can see from my last email date october 26, 2010. Needless to say my issues have still not been resolved and I would like to take this to a higher level until all of my concerns and issues with my vehicle are fully handled. I purchased my 2007 Mitsubishi outlander brand new from the dealership and purchased it after reading several excellent reviews , researching the car and knowing it came with a warranty for 5 years/100,000 miles. This was one of the key selling points that intrigued me and I was told any and everything that should or would go wrong with the car would be covered during that period, no questions or hassles. I have had nothing but trouble and hassle and I very disappointed in Mitsubishi and frankly

My vehicle has been recalled. Mitsubishi insists I take it to one of their dealerships. The nearest dealership is 228 miles and 3.5 hours roundtrip. I believe they should allow me to go a different local dealership that is 20 mins. Roundtrip to fix the problem and that they should pay for it as well. It is their mistake why do I have to pay for it with my time and money? Please help. *tr
