“When driving 65mph on highway hood flutters. This is causing anxiety thinking hood will become loose. I’ve spoken to the dealership and they did assure me that it will not However it’s impossible to say that it would never happen. This is a huge safety issue and something that needs to be rectified”
NHTSA complaint #11449262, filed 2022-01, 400 miles“This model of vehicle (2022) has a known hood flutter that cannot be repaired. It's possible the hood latch could fail and the hood will fly up/open while the vehicle is in motion. My vehicle registration acknowledges a recall but it is not for the hood flutter. I've done research and it is identified on the internet that dealerships know this hood issue exist.”
NHTSA complaint #11707403, filed 2025-12“When opertaing vehicle it my parking sensor error message was given giving false reading. I was told because of this scratch i need to replace the sensor. I think its a bad design flaw n there are charging me 800 in parts and labor even though its under warranty This can cause false reading and some one can get hurt”
NHTSA complaint #11638884, filed 2025-01“Car engine hood shakes violently at speeds higher than 45 miles per hour. The higher the speend the more it shakes. My wife is afraid to drive it. Many other owners are complaining of same issue and have taken Outlander in for service without favororable results. Issue still persists. I will take my Outlander for service as soon as I am able.”
NHTSA complaint #11439003, filed 2021-11“My 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander hood vibrates during drives. The vibration starts when the car is moving around 35 - 40 mph or more. I confirmed that it was properly closed, but it concerns me because this repetitive movement may loosen the hood locking system during any future drive. This problem may cause a potentially fatal accident.”
