Cylinder 1 went bad at 117,000 miles

I bought it used at about 45,000 miles in 2017. The light Service Engine Soon was on at that time but the dealer on highway VA7 in Leesburg cleared the code and assured me it was not a big problem. Later in the next five years, the light came on and off every a few months despite my best effort to have the car serviced and maintained by the book. In August 2019, the AC compressor just died out of the blue, costing me about $850. In mid July this year, 2022, one day the engine went bad as I was driving along i-95. At first, I thought one of the spark plugs was faulty after I have them replaced at 100,000 miles. The car was brought to a shop and the professionals there diagnosed it, then wrote a report saying that cylinder 1 had deep scratches. The cost of repair would be from $3,500 to $4,000. I decided not to have it fixed and I sold the car as is to Carmax for $2,000. I did a Google search and found that quite a few other people suffered from the same problem with the same car. I will never choose Mitsubishi again.

A/C Compressor Damaged after 3 years

My Outlander just got 62,000 miles in 3 years and the A/C got broken. I took the car to the dealership and the repair cost is $1,000.00. I am truly disappointed with Mitsubishi brand since how come a 3 years old car had this issue? I was servicing the car at the dealership every time taking care of all recommended maintenance. This was my third Mitsubishi and probably the last one after switching from Honda and Toyota, probably I will go now to KIA or another brand.

When you compare any vehicle priced under $25k that comes with 5/60 bumper to bumper warranty, 10/100k power train warranty, comes with back up camera, heated seats, bluetooth, roominess and 26 mpg combined, there aren't many that can compare. With the 2014 Outlander SE, you get all this and reliability of Mitsubishi. Yes, it's not a sports car. Yes, it doesn't have cutting edge design. Unlike other vehicles in its class, it's very quiet, is comfortable, handles reasonably well, and has all the safety features you'd expect for lots more. We researched lots of vehicles for what we needed and couldn't come up with a better solution for the money. Now 6 years later AC went out and $1000 later back in place. Overall two sets of tires, original brakes ,maintenance by the book ends up being medium cost of maintenance over 109,500 miles. Update: Regrettably sold the Outlander as moving to Alaska would cost over $4,000 to ship there. It was a good car

There is a lot to like about this vehicle, and some things that drive me insane. First, the shiftable automatic transmission is the best thing since sliced bread in an automatic. It's like having both a manual and an automatic to chose from. I leave it in automatic mostly, but on the freeway in stop and go traffic, I often pick the best gear and use it. It's incredibly helpful on steep mountain downhills so that you use the engine to help with slowing the vehicle so you don't burn out your brakes, and you will see everyone else with a newer automatic transmission on their brakes constantly but not you! It's also helpful if you have to some to an abrupt stop, to help you slow down faster at higher speeds. So that is a 10 star feature, and one of the main reasons I bought this vehicle. The V6 engine is good, nicely powered and can get on it when you need to step up your speed in a quick way (freeway entrance or passing a vehicle on a 2 lane road). The seats are comfy, and the folding mechanism for the back seats is quick to put them down and the whole rear is flat, even with the third row. Beware, however, the third row seats are more child size and a large adult will have a tough time getting in the very back seats and sitting in them. I did not want the third row and would have preferred a vehicle without them, but the used ones at the time I made the purchase were limited, so I took this car anyway and never use them. So if you are looking to haul a lot of cargo, know all the seats fold flat and you will have a lot of cargo space. The front end is longer on this vehicle and I can park in compact spaces if there's room for the front end to hang over the curb. It also does a U-turn on a dime, I like that. I have taken my vehicle on interstate trips and even, on long flat stretches in 6th gear with favorable winds, getting to 22 miles per gallon is tough. It's say even the highway mileage is about 20 mpg on average. Less in town. But the gas tank is 16 gallons, so you get a lot of miles down the road on a full tank on the freeway. Now the things that have disappointed me: First, and this is a big deal because I live in the Sacramento Valley in CA and we have lots of sunny days and long, low sunsets. The visors are a joke. My Kia Spectra has telescoping visors that were on a swivel hinge and I could position them in just about any angle to block the sun. These visors are tiny and I often have to drive while using my hand to block the sun so I can see, because they are either up or down and that's it and insufficient. Small and useless unless the sun is high. Better visors are a cheap fix and I am disappointed in these. I had an electrical issue with a short in the rear driver's side taillight that had to be fixed at the mechanics shop. And the replacing a taillight requires removing an interior cargo area side panel; it's not a quick fix. That is disappointing. I have had to replace both the A/C condenser and the compressor on separate occasions one with less than 70,000 miles and the other right around 80K. Very disappointed in the quality of the AC equipment. And this was the thing that made me furious.....YOU CAN'T PUT CHAINS ON THIS VEHICLE. That means it can't go to the Sierras during a heavy storm, because you must carry chains and can be ticketed if you don't have them. What a huge disappointment, so it's not a very hearty mountain vehicle. And because it's technically AWD (not 4WD), if you puncture one tire, you will be replacing all 4. It's happened to me twice. I will be replacing it soon with less than 100K, and buying a true 4WD vehicle, that can take chains and is more mountain worthy. I will miss the transmission, but that's about it.

I think the car has been very good to drive, comfortable, not as soundproof as I wish, but not bad. I have been happy with it.
