2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Reliability Report

2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV brake-by-wire failure during a downhill U-turn at 100% battery state of charge. Pedal went completely soft to the floor, unable to stop, causing a crash.

I took my outlander in on May 6 2026 for routine oil change , tire rotation, basic multi inspection to bruce walters service (same company i bought it from new 15 months ago). Inspection was flawless with green light on tires, brakes, the works. It had approx 24k miles on it. When I left the dealer that day I noticed A LOT of roaring, slight vibration, worse when I cut wheel left. I called them and they could not inspect the car for 28 days , appt they made was june 2nd 2026. This only started when they rotated tires. At my appt yesterday, June 2nd, 2026 they charged me 150 diagnostic and said I need 4 new tires even though my tread was awesome. 25k miles on it by the time of this appt. I've owned it year and half. The tire walls are bad but green light on tread..all 4 tires. The mitsubishi lot said that shouldn't happen and sane companies service dept should have done something. But no, they are wanting me to pay almost 1k for new tires, a 25k mile brand new car should not need tires. Service dept blames brand of tires. They did not check, to my knowledge, suspension or shocks etc. Something caused a new car to do this or faulty tires , all 4 , not just 1 or 2.

The contact owns a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Equipped with Nexen Roadian GTX in size 255/45R20. The contact stated while driving the vehicle at 30 MPH she noted her tire pressure was very low, she pulled into a gas station to fill it with AIR, she drove the vehicle home, and next day the tire was flat again and was filled back up. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic where it was diagnosed to have pieces of tires coming off with no actual puncture of the tire. The tires were replaced at owners cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.

Sometimes when I am backing up, the rear backup camera will go dark, switch to something random (such as music screen) or freeze (I.e. it shows a clear path behind me while backing up but the screen is just frozen). This is a significant safety issue because if someone is relying on a backup camera to maneuver, and a kid walks behind the car, the driver would not notice the kid if the screen froze. If the backup camera fails, a driver is blind and must either continue blind (as mirrors may not be adjusted for backing up) or must switch gears to go forward (which could also cause an accident since there is a delay in doing this and a car may be exposed on the street).

If headlights are in auto position or were on prior to car starting (I.e. they were left in on position last time car was on), the headlights sometimes do not turn on even though the headlight icon is illuminated. Basically, headlights sometimes say they are on even though they are not.
