outlander 2022 recalls & issues Hood problem wireless charger screen going gray seatbelt issue gets stuck fuel pump remote start does not work properly is time consuming and very aggravating having to deal with this many issues + whatever the future brings on a new vehicle and ofcurse the dealer gives you the runaround trying to blame it on anything and not assuming responsibility they already got their money so they dont care any more. on a positive note you can only make the MISTAKE of buying a Mitsubishi vehicle one time. not only will I not recommend buying this brand but I will express my opinion and experience with it.

Where do I even begin ? Just run the other way!
I think this car looks great inside and out but you get what you pay for. Immediately after purchase I had issues with the fuel pump and AWD, then came the struts and strut mounts and wheel bearings, within 6 months I also had a screen issue and AC issue and then just overall not starting and or stalling. It's been to the service department 22 times in 13 months. It's been to three different service departments. The head tech of Mitsubishi came out. NOTHING has been fixed. Mitsubishi says "Known issue no known fix" as if that's a reasonable answer for someone with a brand new car to not have it working. Like oh ok so you know the ac doesn't work but can't fix it ? No worries. It's cool. I like to sweat. Absolutely not. I'm currently suing them in lemon law court. Absolutely run far away from this cheaply made pile of crap. Despite the good warranty you won't get it fixed because service centers hands are tied by the manufacturer not wanting to repair anything.

I hope a recall's coming for the 2022 Outlander
Yesterday we picked up our stylish new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander ES at a dealership 180 miles from our home. It was a windy day and our almost three hour drive home became a hair-raising experience. When we left the dealership and got on the highway the front hood of the vehicle began lifting and flexing with the wind. My husband thought it wasn't properly latched and stopped to remedy the situation but he found it was properly closed. We drove the entire trip home watching the hood violently undulate. (I kept thinking the hood was going to snap off). I called the dealership where our salesman tried to make light of it and said there are no recalls for it-- "yet". I'm sick about it because it seems to be a wonderful vehicle in all other areas--smooth shifting--comfortable seating--bright LED headamps---generous warranty--and it would be a great driving experience if we weren't totally distracted by a dancing front hood. I will now be wary about driving it on windy days (which would be almost every day here in Northern Arizona). Since Mitsubishi Motors took four years to come out with this totally redesigned model I don't understand how something like this could slip through their fingers. Don't they test in wind tunnels? Our only hope is for a quick recall.
Beautiful SUV but a mechanical nightmare!
I purchased a brand-new Mitsubishi Montero in 1995 and drove this SUV for 10 years without a single mechanical issue, it ran strong and was a beast in bad weather. So, when Mitsubishi came out with the Outlander, I was ecstatic that Mitsubishi was coming back on the scene with this well-designed SUV that reminded me of a Land Rover. With this in mind, I decided to go for it and purchased the diamond black SEL, S-AWC Launch edition. When I test drove one, I did notice the hood flutter and informed the salesman, in which, I was told, that it would need a minor adjustment, which made no sense to me on a brand-new vehicle that took 5 years to launch and tested for quality control throughout the engineering process to assess the quality and performance of the vehicle. The idea behind testing these cars is to allow manufacturers to work out all the kinks and potential problems before going into full production. Therefore, I purchased the SUV in December 2021, I did experience the hood fluttering, but having a mechanical background, I looked under the hood to see what adjustments these engineers failed to make and saw that there are 2 black rubber hood stoppers on the left and right side on the bottom, where the hood indentation makes contact with them when the hood is closed. I screwed the rubber pieces all the way out, and reinserted them, twisting them one full turn until the arrow faces in the direction of the engine. Then I took 2 felt pads, the pads you put under chair legs to keep them from scratching the floor and placed the sticky side down on the rubber stoppers. Closed the hood and went for a ride and the hood stopped the vibration and fluttering. However, on really windy days there is very little fluttering enough for me to feel comfortable driving and not worrying about the hood dislodging. If the hood doesn't close securely, adjust the rubber stoppers so the hood can close. Now, the next issue, I went for a drive and got half a mile from my home and the Outlander without warning just shut off. I pulled to the side and tried to start it to the point of the battery losing voltage. I had towed back to my home where I have the testing equipment and diagnostic tools to see why this SUV with 8000 miles just died on me. With the help of my son who is a professional mechanic, we determined it was the fuel pump shorted out based on the computer code. The next day I towed it to the dealer, wrote down all the symptoms that appeared after it shut off and thinking this would be a simple fix taking a few days, but that turned into 3 months without this vehicle, and it was the fuel pump, which was on back order and the fuel gauge. I had to get forceful with the dealer and made them get a Mitsubishi rep involved just to get a rental. After finding out that the robots that installed the fuel pumps didn't do it correctly and didn't get the wiring right which shorted the pump is what caused what could have been a serious accident if this occurred on the highway in traffic putting me and my family in harm's way. Therefore, I precede to take legal action against Mitsubishi, and now have a pending lawsuit against them. I used the Lemon law of my state and if the dealer is giving you the run around, you can file a complaint with the State Attorney General, they could be fined, and have their franchise license revoked, or you file a complaint against the dealer's surety bond with DMV Business regulation section or the licensing board. Mitsubishi is jeopardizing the lives of thousands of their customers allowing this mechanical issue to go unsolved until a hood rips off while driving or being rear ended when the fuel pump fails in traffic. I'm very disappointed in such a promising SUV, buyer beware!!

Loved the car...until I had a problem
I bought the 2022 Outlander SEL Touring. Everything about it was great - interior design, comfort, smooth ride, nice pickup for a small SUV. But then a wheel baring cracked. I started hearing a "clicking" noise every time I turned the steering wheel. Now it is sitting in my local service department waiting on a part that won't come in until end of January 2022 (the writing of this review is November 2021). Very disappointed that a brand new car would already have problems.
DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE
I bought a 2022 mitsubishi outlander November 2021 and since then I've had nothing but issues with it, a fuel pump recall, hood recall, my differential motor went for my all wheel drive and it took them 2 months to recieve the part and a week ago they replaced it, now my vehicle is back in the dealerships shop because the ENGINE MODULE is faulty. I cannot believe it, they need to just recall all their 2022 models and give our money back.

3 months and won't start!!!!
We've had the vehicle 3 months. It had 3300 miles when we got it. It's the Launch Edition, and we really like it. We had a 2018 Outlander phev, but it was really uncomfortable! We traded it in, and things were fine until yesterday. My husband got in it to go to work, and it won't start. We called Roadside Assistance, and we waited 5 hours before the tow company asked to come in the morning. It was 12:30 am, so it was fine. The Roadside Assistance hung up on me many times. The tow truck couldn't get it started. We had to contact Roadside Assistance again to tow it. They finally got it to the dealership. The dealership says it's the battery, but the tow guy didn't think so. It still wouldn't start even attached to another vehicle with jump cables and a battery charger. It just clicked. Mitsubishi released a vehicle with a vibrating hood that doesn't have any parts (batteries, filters, floor mats, etc). They're going to try a different vehicle's battery. They have yet to offer a rental or loaner or anything else. Our brand new vehicle doesn't work, and no one can be bothered to call us or be helpful. I pray it's just the battery, but I seriously doubt it. Now, we are not going to feel comfortable with the vehicle because we'll be worried it will continue. I tried contacting Mitsubishi, but they haven't responded at all. It's obvious they stopped giving a crap when they got paid. The dealership acted like we were crazy when I called them telling them it was dead, and they tried blaming us for leaving it on or causing the problem. This is our second Mitsubishi, and depending on whether or not they take care of the problem potentially our last.

Sure wish it was a better quality vehicle
Hello , I purchased my brand new 2022 outlander ES in October 2021 , I was thrilled I loved the car till it started having a mind of its own … The first thing that went was the battery.. how can a battery just die after only 1 and a half months of driving the vehicle, but it did . Then the cold weather hit , I live in Alberta Canada so it gets cold here . It was in November at -22 when my car just wouldn’t start .. then this was a in going thing for 2 months . Then the radio wouldn’t work / GPS /apple play , and the screen would just be blank or grey with nothing to showing such as the icons, radio stations and other options , just stone dead . So I booked it in and had my vehicle picked up by road side assistance which was a pain in my A** let’s it took 12 hours for then one day to pickup my vehicle and another 4 1/2 hours . Seriously not worth the paper it’s written on . I have contacted the sales team at my Mitsubishi dealership on the north side Edmonton Alberta and got nothing but a lack of respect , even heard the sales manager Naomi speak About me in a negative way while I was in the other room , basically telling the sales person I was dealing with “ you bought it it’s your issue now “ They didn’t even allow me to trade out the car without $8,000-10,000 loss to me . They laugh at you and try to send you in your way , after all they got paid right ??? Save yourself the hard ship you will have because I’ve only owned this car 9 months now and I wish I bought my first choice a Toyota . Please … please stay far from the outlander 2022 it may look pretty and sharp but it’s crap .

Great
I have an SEL and love it. I'm taller than most and am comfortable in front and second row. It looks great, good mpg, and the interior is better than anything else in class. Mine is AWD and acceleration is fine. My hood jiggles a bit too but I'm confident Mitsubishi will soon issue a bulletin.

SERIOUS HOOD FLUTTERING ISSUE
Many similar issues with other customers. Once hit 45 MPH hood shakes violently. wife won't drive it on highway. A technical service bulletin fix was performed prior to my August purchase. Have brought car in twice for repair. Time #1 all they did was check to see that Technical Service was performed properly. Did not do anything else. Brought it in today. They called manufacturer and was told to install weather stripping. They have ordered it and I will bring it in a third time to repair. Many other owners have stated that this fix has not solved the problem. I am not confident it willl for me either. A design issue of some sort of design issue that manufacturer has been aware for months now yet no fix. Perhaps hood is not strong enough? Does it need a new hood? I am not a car engineer but I do know there is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. From what I have read it appears that that at least 3,000 cars are affected. Is it a matter of cost? Very sad to pay over $35,000 for a car to have this problem.

Runs like a champ.
Love the looks and feel of the Outlander. Only issue I have is the hood blowing when on high speeds. The reason isn't only the aluminum for most cars use aluminum but the hood is one piece to include the grille. Most cars is just the hood that is one piece but Mitsubishi has attached the grille also as one so when the wind blows on high speeds it pushes the hood up. Need to reinforce the grille or make it two separate pieces.

Test Drove for Future Consideration
Decided to test drive the ES version of the Outlander to see if it's a vehicle I would consider for a future purchase. Test drove this with my son-in-law as the passenger. At 5'10", he seemed a bit cramped in the passenger seat. I felt comfortable once I got the seats, mirrors and steering wheel adjusted. Cloth seats on the ES model seem somewhat cheap. Interior on the Outlander is cavernous; can't see anything out the rear window with the head rests in the third row up. I think a lot of people who opt to purchase this vehicle will leave the third row down for more storage space. As for my driving experience, I really couldn't tell this was a CVT transmission. I'm not one to floor it to speed, but got to 45mph fairly quick. Did not drive the car over 50mph, but like someone else mentioned I did notice some hood vibration at this speed; this is something Mitsubishi will need to address ASAP. Ride was quiet and comfortable; no complaints there. With both rows of rear seats folded down, this would be an excellent "car camping" vehicle, although it would be better if seats folded completely flat in the second row. Sat in the SE model as well but didn't test drive. Like the seats better in the trim level, but don't think I'd purchase unless I could get the SE at the ES pricing. The extras between the two trims are inconsequential for me as a buyer, and as a long-time Honda buyer it's going to take some convincing to get me to part ways with my money to purchase a Mitsubishi. I need more convincing and reassurance that Mitsubishi is going to take care of me as a buyer. The 5 year/10 year warranty on this brand is reassuring...so long as you can find a service department and dealership willing to honor their end of the warranty. Too many people leave a review after a month or so of ownership. I'd be more interested in hearing from long-term Mitsubishi owners and their ownership experience.

Frozen rear door locks
If the temp gets below 25 degrees it appears my rear doors just wont unlock. I open the drivers door and push the unlock button on the door and still nothing And even if you reach through the window and double pull the handle Nothing! It has happened twice winter 2022 NE PA
2022 Outlander
I can't get my seat to a comfortable position. The truck doesn't get up to speed fast enough for me, the enterior rubber part near my cup holder is lifting, and I'm scared to drive ont the freeway because I think my hood is going to open.
Not what I expected for my first new vehicle.
I have gone through 3 sets of tires (first set at 9k miles) in less then 50k miles due to alignment issues, since I bought the vehicle.(not covered by warranty) Rear suspension is week. With 3 rear passengers, tires rub wheel wells. On long trips the navigation system glitches, stops charging cell phones and disconnects cell phones from vehicle. Exhaust gas sensor turns check engine light on and the transmission occasionally shifts hard. I took my family on vacation and the rear differential went out of it leaving us in a rental car for a week 900 miles from home. It is going to be a money pit when the warranty is up. Just took it back to the dealership for more repairs. Driver's Assist camera went bad. USB port needs replaced and radio Amp needs replaced. I am glad I bought the extended warranty.

Don’t do it.
Bought my car in August 2021. Nothing but issues and excuses. Hood Flutter took 6 months to get replaced. Radio and navigation system failure. Waited 3 months to get repaired. Fuel pump recall. PC had to be reprogrammed. Didn’t tell me why. Then 2 weeks after getting it back. The engine malfunctioned and had to go back to the dealer again. Called Mitsubishi multiple times and never cared to help. Would love to make them buy it back. Talking to an Attorney. Car has been to the dealer 7 times in less than 9 months. Currently on hold again with Mitsubishi for more than 25 minutes. Yesterday was 20 minutes and then put on hold and transferred without being told to someone’s voicemail. Left message and no return call. Car is junk.

Broken media screen
I have a new 2022 Outlander and it’s probably the best new suv I have driven. I drive many new suvs with my work. Love the Outlander but my media screen stopped working after two weeks of buying my Outlander. And I am waiting for a new screen under warranty. It has to come from Japan. Mitsubishi can’t tell me when a new one will arrive.This broken screen could be an issue. Mine is not the only one at the dealership with this fault. Apart from this the car is very good.

Great SUV for the money!
I bought the 2022 SEL Special Edition all wheel drive and it has a great ride, great Creature Comforts in the cabin, and a large 9-in screen. I previously owned a 2019 SEL Mitsubishi Outlander and this is far superior to the 2019. I have heard and read about the jumping of the hood and it does somewhat. I would expect Mitsubishi to correct this. I have read nothing about there being accidents caused from the hood becoming detached causing a wreck. There are too many positives to not buy this vehicle for the money.

She’s a bit whiny
I just purchased the Red Diamond SEL, and I good tell ya, I absolutely love the look of this thing, but it’s a Love hate relationship… The sound that CVT makes is loud and extremely annoying, especially for a brand new car with its looks… Even when it’s warmed up befo re taking off. Not to mention the hood flutters like chattering teeth above 55, or strong winds, but I still love the look of it.. Remote start is a little on the lag side, black accents in and out, even on the rims is easily scuffed and/or scratched… Rather they placed projector headlights for a more focused cut-off other than open house reflectors that scatters the light a bit into oncoming traffic… As you can see I have an eye for detail so I’m picky about a few things others may overlook… she’s not that fast but have decent amount of speed…
Awful in snow and hood
I loved my car when i bought it. The hood raises when driving down highway. Very distracting. Outlander is jyst awful in the snow. I am so frustrated. I have less then 5000 miles on vechical and i want to trade it in. Its inside is mych better then performance for sure.
Doesn’t have parts

Fit just right!
I looked at Mitsubishi because of the warranty. I love the lifetime engine warranty my dealer gives. Tried all of the SUV's except the Outlander sport because we need the back cargo room for my wife's wheelchair. The only one it fit in was the Outlander. Now I can get it to fit into a little car but I wanted the convenience of not taking it apart or laying on its side. Just put the third row down and it fit right in. Drives great, engine is fine for me because I dont need to get to 100 in 5 seconds. When I was driving home from the dealership I did notice the hood moving. I do mostly highway driving so I hope Mitsubishi fixes this soon but I am confident the hood will not just fail and fly up, I hope.

Love our Outlander!!
I found this car while scrolling through fb one day. Loved the looks of it. I clicked on it expecting it to he ove 40k seeing it has the 3rd row and AWD, come to find out base model was under 30k. We decided on the SE as it offered the heated seats and wireless phone charging.This vehicle offers so much a week later we are still learning all the vehicle has to offer. Very comfortable ride. We live in NY and this vehicle handles great in the snow, slush and ice. Couldn't be happier with our purchase.

Mitsubishi outlander
I ve had my Mitsubishi outlander 2022 se for over a year now I bought it with 8 miles on it I drive it to work daily hour n half each way have 33033 miles on it so far no problems so far vehicle runs great which it should with low mileage done 4 oil changes and bought new tires. It does great in the snow any terrain really like how it has modes for all conditions and a downhill brake botton as well interior in my opinion looks slick like the seats for most part have a lot of different adjustments to accommodate long rides the only negative I have about the vehicle is the hood shaking other than that i recommend this vehicle

Small but mighty!
I’ve been driving full size SUV’s for two decades so I was anticipating a big adjustment. I am pleasantly surprised! Not only is it spacious it has some kick to it. Merging onto the expressway was a breeze. The engine has more than enough power with less trips to the gas pump. And the tires really handle the bumps!
Good, but not great, yet
Easy to drive, very comfortable, initial reliability disappointing. I bought it new in April of 2022, and paid MSRP - at that time, it was a fair price for a well equipped SUV. Most were at least 2K over MSRP! Anyway, I've enjoyed my Outlander, but the 1st 6 months were a bit rough. I guess mine was built post hood latch problem, so no issue there. However, at about 4 months my cooling fan failed, leaving me stranded on a major highway. I immediately contacted Mitsubishi road service, and 2 hours later I was still stuck on a highway in a rainstorm. I had a family member retrieve me, and it took 11 hours for the vehicle to get towed to the dealership! In addition, my AC failed twice in the 1st 6 months. Both times, the dealer stated it needed a software update? Finally, I had some interior trim issues. I've had no problems in the last 12 months, so if that continues I will improve my rating to 4 stars!

Beautiful Vehicle, lots of sensors
Fell in love with it as soon as I saw it on line. I was going to get the Hyundai Tucson when I saw this immediately fell in live with it , love the outside and inside , the only reason I don't give it a 5 stars is the hood the shakes a lot on high speeds , but I've hear they have a solution for it already installing weather striping. I already spoke to the dealer and I'm waiting for a call to go and get it installed to see if it solves the problem. Then I'll give it a 5 star review.

Great SUV
I love my outlander. I’ve always had Toyota’s in the past, but with this redesign it caught my attention. I ended up testing driving one and then traded in my Toyota. Gave me a lot more tech and features than a new Toyota would at this price point. I have not had any trouble with the hold of the vehicle shaking up and down at highway speeds.

Read reviews with a grain of salt
The reviews need read with a grain of salt. I really like my Outlander. The hood does shake in the wind. I was told thats because its aluminum. I've never felt like it will pop up though (and yes, I have had that happen to me on an old vehicle of my past). The acceleration is good compared to other SUVs in its class.. thats one reason I bought it. The android auto app is stupid, the remote start app is inconsistent and the seats aren't great on my old lady hips, but other issues have been user related and not an actual fault of the vehicle. Read your manuals people lol. People always compliment how pretty she is, I like all the features and I'm happy with my gas mileage (current best yet was 37.5 miles per gallon average. My goal is to beat that though lol), but if its under 45F, it has to be warmed up or she runs at a high rpm and has terriblegas mileageand pick up. P I'm happy. I got a nice vehicle for a good price. I'm really glad I didn't go with some of them other suvs. You know, the littler ones with no pick up, that my mom would [does] own.

Hood jiggles
Styling and roomy interior appreciated. The hood does flex/move when driving at higher speeds. And the remote start app isn’t always successful.
I'm sure it will be fine
I just bought my outlander ES yesterday, after having it for a day I have a little buyer's remorse wishing I got the SE. I hadn't intended to buy a new car but went to look at a low mileage used car and it ended up being only $3000 more for brand new vs 17k miles on a 2-year-old car, so I got the new one. The thing that sold me was the warranty, 10 years and my son will be learning to drive, it doesn't have a ton of power but enough that it feels a little sporty. Why the SE vs ES? There are just enough upgrades to the electronics to make it worthwhile. The 360 camera seems like a gimic but the car doesn't have the best visibility so this weird camera view would help. The wireless charging for my phone but more importantly, the power ports for the second row. Heated front seats. The third-row seats are probably going to be useless, but I have kids so maybe not... but probably. There isn't a lot of storage upfront, I was more than a little disappointed the glove box won't even fit the owner's manuals (Come on, make sure these fit!), the armrest storage is also tiny, so you have the doors as the last place. The inside seems kinda cheap, it doesn't rattle or move but it's not soft. The hood does vibrate a little but I was told they have a solution and will retrofit it when it comes in. What I really think this vehicle need is an adventure package: a durable, washable interior, ditch the third row for more storage space with a waterproof tray, add a roof rack and trailer hitch.

Too many mechanical issues!
The Cooling unit blew, the emissions sensor malfunctioned, and just today there was another malfunction affecting my 4WD, ABS, brake assist, etc systems…. All in 7,500 miles. These also miraculously fix themselves when I turn the car off and back on…. Waiting for many many recalls. Luckily I have a free 10 year 100k bumper to bumper warranty that covers it all but its still a pain in the butt.

So happy!
I bought my Mitsubishi Outlander SEL about 2 months ago and my fiancé and I are in love! I needed a bigger vehicle since we have a little one on the way. I test drove the Toyota Highlander, Acura MDX, Cadillac X5 and Infiniti QX60 and out of all of them the Outlander was my favorite for so many reasons. The Outlander drive is so smooth, size is very comfortable, leather and interior on my SEL is top notch reminded me of a luxury car and the gas mileage is incredible! I am averaging about 28 miles to the gallon and I drive in the city 90 percent of the time. Given that it is a 4 cylinder I think the power is great for the size. They used the same powertrain as the Nissan Rogue for this vehicle. I think Mitsubishi is really underrated in the America and I am so happy with this vehicle we keep finding things that we love about it!

Great Vehicle - Design is impressive
Our new outlander SE tech AWD is very impressive given the cost and what you get for the $$$. Sure it could use some more HP but the transmission is very smooth and it gets to speed fast. The ability to go to Tarmac mode helps….stops and turns just fine for a $40k large SUV Interior is where it really shines- dash is best by far vs so many cluttered techno designs. This alone is a reason to buy it. Issues - hood does move but a fix is on way. Ride can be jarring at times maybe tires ? But overall this vehicle is so amazing for the $$ and it stands out In crowd of boring
Vibrating latch
We have a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL purchased 2 months ago. So far it’s been a great SUV for the price compared to others. CONs; was lied to at the end of my deal from the sales man telling me he put me on a list to replace a small piece on the hood and with that it would stop vibrating FALSE!!!! Up to date there’s almost 100 consumers putting a class action lawsuit against Mitsubishi for this… and guess what? I’ll be 101. Two months with the vehicle and the driver side mirror had to be replaced and ac starting blowing hot. Not a happy camper!!!!

Very Impressed so far - initial reactions
I picked up my new 2022 Outlander almost 2 months ago and I have to say I am quite impressed. I have the LE Premium package (Canada) and the driver's seat is very comfortable, it is quiet and smooth. The non-Bose sound system sounds really good. The power is quite adequate, it may not win a drag race, but if that's what you're looking for maybe a mid-size SUV isn't what you're looking for. The CVT feels better than any other CVT vehicle I have ever driven. The mileage has been really good. I've been averaging under 8L/100km in mixed driving. The fit & finish is good - no squeaks or rattles. I have the pearl white paint as well and I think it looks just fantastic. I was sold on the looks (both inside & out) & utility of the vehicle and the good warranty gave me the confidence to try something new Time will tell, but so far so good!

Terrible
Unfortunately the 2022 outlander SEL is a terrible choice. They seemed to have rolled out these vehicles without doing much quality checking. I have taken my vehicle in for an oil change and told them my hood is shaking bad, I was then told they need hood replacement (hood is too light) and seat belts werw recalled. The engine in colder weather sounds like trash and it feels like you are driving in neutral for the first half hour of travel. I also made the mistake of not checking that it is 4WD or AWD. These vehicles are not meant for cooler temperatures and definitely not snow. I cannot wait to get rid of this "nice looking" piece of junk.
3rd outlander in a row
I fell in love with this car 6 years ago and now I am on my 3rd one. Handles great in rain and snow gets amazing gas mileage on the open roads (53 MPG driving from NY to Florida) and the only maintenance was normal service,
The new Outie.
This is my 3rd Outie, and 5th Mitsu overall. When I leave for work and the roads are snow covered I put the AWC obviously into SNOW. I stop for a coffee at the gas station, start the car back up, and it defaults back to NORMAL setting. Owner's manual says it'll do this..I guess my question is WHY? Hood flutter doesn't really bother me as my 2010 did the same thing. The one thing I cannot excuse is the garbage Bose stereo. There's a half baked sub under the rear floor with absolutely no adjustments, no volume, and no sub "punch", and 10 speakers. Problem is 8 of the 10 are in the front doors / dashboard, and you only get the basic volume/balance/fader/tone controls. It cannot be adjusted-to suit my taste anyway. My 2010 and 2019 Outies, along with our 18 Eclipse Cross all had the Rockford sound system. THAT was a stereo. Mitsu built this beautiful new car, then completely ruined the upper 2 option packages by skimping on the radio. More than alot disappointed. Some may think I'm nuts, but if you listened to the RF sound system they used to use, and adjusted it to your liking, it was the best! This Bose does not even come close. My opinion is they should stick to making Wave radios and stop meddling in factory car audio.Brand new car and I'm getting my game plan together to come up with with a solution to fix something where the Mitsubishi engineers failed miserably.

Good family vehicle, more available than Toyota
We purchased a 2022 outlander es with AWD after looking at a Rav 4. The outlander seems to have more interior room which was important because I am six feet tall and need room for my teenage sons who are close to six feet tall now. They can sit comfortably behind me. The outlander is a few inches wider and longer than the rav4. Also the Outlanders were on the lot and less expensive than the Rav 4. The Toyota dealer wanted $3000 over msrp for the rav 4 and we would have had to wait at least a month for the rav4. We don't plan on using the very small third row, it seems like it might only be usefull for very small children.

Black Diamond Beauty
I love the paint job on my car. I had no idea when I bought it that I had sparkles all in the paint. I love the style. Pros: Beautiful car, love all the extras for little money Great speed, Great acceleration, Great interior, I love my suede and leather seats but that was a joke when I was thinking I bought all leather so little disappointed but ended up loving the seats. I have the AWD which i recommend. I can fly past people up hill with no problems. Cons: Stupid hood shakes so bad after 65 mph. Dealer said cant fix till recalled another dealer said I can but on a waiting list. I drive all over the state of Alabama for work and the hood is fine. Yes, it shakes and scared me the first year but now I just keep on truckin. I do hope it gets recalled soon. No need to not drive the car on interstate as people have said bc I do. I have 40,000 miles on mine in 9 months so thats a bunch of driving on the interstate and my hood is fine. Just know it does shake and is scary at times between two 18-wheelers. The overall car has been perfect, The screen did go off and I pitched a fit but found out it does random updates so leave it alone and it will come back on automatically. Love this little car so much. However, wish it was all leather, no shake hood and more comfortable but hey, you get what you pay for. 35,000.00 is a steal for such a great little sexy ride. I love mine regardless the issues stated.
