I bought a 2023 Outlander SE after being exhausted trying to find a decent used SUV & other new SUVS are so expensive! BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Since One day of owning 5/4- The alignment was messed up I took it in to have it fixed today 5/5 the cameras stopped working, the stereo speakers sound blown, there is a rattling sound in the dash, the brakes feel weird, there is a burning wire/rubber smell now, it kept pulling to the right, driver assist, lane assist, steering assist works when it wants to, wiper speed on automatic turned to the lowest is too fast it obviously doesn’t have a decent sensor. I just know the light wiring is going to have Recalls I had a truck that had LED lights put in the wires started burning it had the same smell. it sitting running sounds like a lawn mower, definitely has no power they could have at least put a vtech turbo 4 cylinder the current 4 cylinder it has you can definitely tell don’t try passing anyone you wouldn’t be able to, the transmission feels like it slips or something. I have a maxima with a v6 xtronic cvt and it has 205k miles still runs perfect. I wanted a 2020 pathfinder but couldn’t find one, & the new Nissans are crazy priced! There are so many things wrong with this Outlander that I’m going to actually go backwards and trade it because I drive 3-5k miles a month and don’t want to risk breaking down or having issues 24/7 & it’s best to just trade now while there is less than 400 miles. I took it on a mini road trip & thankfully I did before I do my monthly 2000 mile trip because the problems for a Brand New vehicle are unreal. I would think twice before buying this. Seriously get a better brand used SUV don’t go off looks but mechanics. I wish I would have kept looking & read reviews first. I’m beyond frustrated & aggravated. I’m really upset, I’m going to have to do a trade and lose money on something I purchased 24 hours ago but has too much going on. This suv is not it. The SE is very basic too 6 speakers, passenger seat is manual, 3rd row what 3rd row? no spare tire, no storage space, my daughters new Acura integra is bigger , more durable, drives 100X better I am actually going to try to trade for one. I can tell the quality difference and drives like a quality car should, it’s heavier made, you feel like you’re going to blow over in the outlander. It’s very poor all the way around I think it’s time Mitsubishi gives up on making vehicles they’ve not made anything reliable since the old school lancers. They really need to just sell out to Acura, or Toyota and stop- they’re only going to upset more people than make happy. I hope nobody gets in such a mess of buying a poorly made vehicle. Please read the bad reviews- the good ones are more than likely paid for reviews there is absolutely nothing positive to say about this outlander. The 2020 pathfinder is a great year if you can find one with lower miles, the MDX, the integra, Lexus, murano are reliable and better do your research, read reviews, recalls & complaints I wish I would have

2023 outlander ES AT 9 months rear differential went. Had to be towed to dealership then waiting 2 months for repair.. 2 months later leak in the front axel seal which was transmission fluid.. took month and half to repair.. now a few weeks later and having transmission issues.. feels like a standard car that is going to stall. Don’t know how long g this will take to fix.. tire that came on in are crap blew the tire in the first three months and no spare tire… needless to say a trade is in the very near future and will never purchase from them again! Stay clear!

No as good as I thought

For as nice as it looks and as much as I paid I expected a lot more from this vehicle. It’s noisy and a strange popping sound started coming from the body at about 5,500 miles and the right front suspension is also making a popping sound. The 3rd row of seating is non existent so there’s no point of even having them. I’m totally disappointed with my purchase.

Our 2023 Outlander has been at the dealership for over a month now waiting on parts, a strut. They keep saying they aren’t making extras and I say sure they are they are on every new Outlander. You should know this prior to purchasing a Mitsubishi! Unless you have multiple vehicles you may want to stay away from this brand. This is my last for sure!

Tires cupping

Purchased a 2023 Outlander, 2 months later my brother-in-law purchased a 2023 Outlander also. My BIL had to replace tires at approximately 20 thousand miles because of a cupped tire. At 40 thousand miles the same rear tire was cupped again. My Outlander now has 18 thousand miles and I noticed a lot of road noise so I checked my back tires and sure enough one is cupped.
