My 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander has experienced recurring high engine-temperature readings, misfires, and two overheating-related engine shutdowns while driving, creating a risk of unexpected power loss in traffic. The vehicle has been evaluated repeatedly by authorized Mitsubishi dealerships without identifying the underlying cause. Air in the cooling system was documented in September 2025, with the dealership noting it could cause the engine to run hotter than normal. In September 2026, a dealership again reported a significant amount of air in the cooling system. Previous cooling-system service temporarily improved the symptoms, but they returned. The temperature gauge repeatedly…

255 45 R20 I had been having tire issues for several days, took car into Mavis tire center and they could not balance it, diagnosing it as separated tire/manufacture defect and advised not to drive as it was unsafe. I called Nexen Tire and advised to take it to one of their dealers which I did(Tire Choice). They wanted me to buy a new tire and give the tire to the distributor. I refused because the distributor has nothing to do with the factory warranty. I went back to Nexen and told to file on line which I did. It took 18 days for Nexen to get back to me after several calls. 3 days later they assigned an adjustor. 3 days after that they changed adjustors. 7 days later they said they need…

The camera does not activate when the car is put into reverse. It also doesn't activate when you are parking the car. The parking camera doesn't show on the screen at all. The recall on this item was repaired on my car but didn't fix the issue and the dealer refused to service it further without significant cost. This is a fundamental safety issue that should be addressed by recall and repaired without cost to the owner. The dealership that serviced a previous recall was Doug Smith Mitsubishi in American Fork Utah, however this didn't fix the issue. I also paid money for a diagnostic service and the service center could not determine why the camera is not triggering. The warning…

Our vehicles gas door would not open to get gas. During the 2nd and 3rd repair they damaged our vehicle. Worst of all on the last repair they modified our gas tank. They said they took it off another vehicle. Mine was a locking door now it isnât. Since this was done the vehicle smells of gas when you fill it up and the miles to empty is off about 100 miles.
