Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Mitsubishi is fully aware of problems with electronic keys in new models and would not replace the keys. Problems reported by Mitsubishi in technical bulletins to dealers are not treated as equipment recalls, even though known equipment defects are reported. For no apparent reason the electronic key to my Outlander would not start the engine. The electronic key identified as mistsubishi's f.a.s.t key would not work and it is unknown if the defect can occur while the engine is running. …”
