Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In dec 2012 the tire sensor indicator showed one of the tires was in need of air. I went to fill it and the valve blew off and the tire deflated immediately. Had to put on the spare and have the sensor and valve replaced, $200. In may 2013 again the indicator showed a tire was low. I filled it and later that day I turned a corner and found it was totally flat and the tire was ruined. Again put on the spare and took it to tire warehouse (on a sunday my dealer was not open). They informed me the piece of the sensor/valve was missing causing it to go flat very quickly. …”
NHTSA complaint #10515900, filed 2013-06, 70,550 miles“Front crossmember rusted through causing the vehicle to lose control. Through luck/skill managed to get to the side of the road without incident but basically the core support that holds the wheels experienced rust rot. This seems to be a big problem with many Mitsubishi cars from 2003-2013 but for some reason my vehicle was excluded from this recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11142338, filed 2018-10, 69,000 miles“The contact owns a 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that the passenger side rear TPMS valve stem failed and caused the tire to deflate. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was determined that the TPMS sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000. The VIN was unavailable.”
NHTSA complaint #10522680, filed 2013-07, 35,000 miles“The contact owns a 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that the tire pressure sensor would active due to corrosion in the valve stem. The corroded valve stem would fracture from the tire and caused the tires to go flat. The contact replaced the sensor numerous times. The dealer was notified and stated that they would replace the part, but the contact stated that the part was the cause of the failure and replacing it would not be a proper remedy. The manufacturer was also notified and stated that they would assist the contact while under warranty. The vehicle was repaired. …”
