Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving and braking, I notice a hesitation, sometimes to slow and sometimes a burst of speed. This is usually starting out or trying to slow or stop. I also at the same time notice sometimes maybe hitting brakes leads to this. Not sure if power train or electrical but very concerned. Also, I had a friend that had a 2015 outlander and the airbags did not execute at 50 MPH accident. This is a very high concern. I checked VIN but did not see anything.”
NHTSA complaint #10897180, filed 2016-08, 2,000 miles“Rotars prematurely severely rusted. May be related to the fact that no protection was used for the car against rock salt as indicated in latest safety recall, which only mentioned the front cross members. If protection was not in place this would affect any area of the car that could carrode or rust where exposed.”

NHTSA complaint #11206360, filed 2019-05, 75,000 miles“This problem has been reported to the local dealership whom fixed the recall and they are refusing to correct the other problem that is related to the recall. The emergency brake will not release in lower freezing temperatures and or it will release and while driving seize up and stop the rear driver side tire. This causes an instant swaying of the vehicle and could potentially cause vehicle to roll if this happens at higher speeds. So far it has only happened under 35 mph. …”
