2022 Mitsubishi Outlander body problems

Filed Nov 3, 2026 · Body, Brakes · MI

Bought this used 2022 Outlander from Carvana Sept 10, 2026 at 58,350 miles for family use. A chain-like rattle began shortly after delivery. An authorized Mitsubishi dealer's R/O 6116238, open Sept 22/closed Sept 30, mileage in 58,939/out 58,940, confirms the RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS MISSING THE BOLTS CONNECTING IT TO ITS SLIDE PINS. New guide pins/bolts were installed and the noise was gone on a test drive. I report paperwork showed Carvana brake work before delivery. Please investigate whether this condition resulted from pre-delivery repair or failed inspection; the records do not identify who omitted the bolts. The dealer also confirmed hood shaking/flutter above 60 mph, cited TSB 26-42A-002 and a reinforced replacement hood. Its narrative says parts ordered, panel to be painted and customer to return for installation; replacement completion is not established. On Oct 30 the next servicing dealership said Mitsubishi's hood was still awaited. On Oct 31 I reported apparent bending near the windshield and water pooling; no photo or professional causation finding for that new observation is supplied. No federal hood recall has been established. The brake-fastener and hood conditions raised safety concerns for our family. No crash, fire or injury is reported. The car is retained and available for inspection; availability of replaced fasteners is UNKNOWN. Prior warning lamps are UNKNOWN; rattling and hood flutter were symptoms. On Oct 30 I reported just under 62,000 miles and continued driving with restricted family travel. Odd wear on the other rear brake is an owner observation without a second-side diagnosis. Sept 22 in the incident field is the service-intake date; exact earlier symptom-onset date is UNKNOWN. Mileage field is intake mileage. Please review a possible safety defect, noncompliance, improper repair and the hood remedy delay.

The hood on my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander has visibly fluttered, shaken and bounced while driving since I purchased the vehicle used on March 15, 2024, with approximately 80,000 miles. This has been an ongoing condition throughout my ownership, not a single isolated incident. The movement is especially noticeable at highway speeds and can be clearly seen from inside the vehicle while driving. I am concerned that the amount of hood movement could present a safety risk while the vehicle is being operated. I contacted a Mitsubishi dealership regarding the hood flutter and was told they were not aware of this issue. The condition has not been repaired or corrected. Mitsubishi has issued multiple technical service bulletins addressing hood flutter on the 2022 Outlander. Mitsubishi technical information describes hood flutter and bouncing while driving and includes repair procedures intended to address the condition. More recent Mitsubishi technical information also addresses insufficient hood reinforcement on certain 2022 Outlanders and the use of a reinforced hood. There have been no warning lights associated with the condition and no crash, fire or injury. The vehicle is available for inspection. I have video documentation clearly showing the hood visibly fluttering and bouncing while the vehicle is being driven.

The seat belts are much slower to retract than with other cars, including our 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander we also own. My wife has had the front passenger seat belt get stuck in the door at least 3 times (likely more) which has required us to make multiple stops at the dealership to fix it. This is certainly a safety risk since the door remains partially open this certainly is something that should be recalled and fixed. Most recent day was today 5/7/26 but has happened many times.

Good flutter at speeds above 45 mph or high winds. NTSB issued but not notified, recall should be issued as this is a safety concern, called dealer who stated a tsb was issued but I was not notified. Due to being out of manufacture warranty I will have to pay cost of hood replacement. Mitsubishi is not responding to my outreach. I first notified dealer of concern after purchase and was not informed of tsb, I was told it was safe and a design flaw.

The contact owns a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65-70 MPH, the hood fluttered abnormally.

The contact was informed that there was no repair available at that time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact was informed that the hood was reinforced. The failure mileage was approximately 39,065.

The hood bounces and flutters. It is especially bad driving on the interstate. It is so much that I am scared to drive it.

This model of vehicle (2022) has a known hood flutter that cannot be repaired. It's possible the hood latch could fail and the hood will fly up/open while the vehicle is in motion. My vehicle registration acknowledges a recall but it is not for the hood flutter. I've done research and it is identified on the internet that dealerships know this hood issue exist.

When opertaing vehicle it my parking sensor error message was given giving false reading. I was told because of this scratch i need to replace the sensor. I think its a bad design flaw n there are charging me 800 in parts and labor even though its under warranty This can cause false reading and some one can get hurt

There is currently a service bulletin out for the hood to be replaced because it flutters on the highway, I purchased the vehicle pre owned at 61,000 miles, Mitsubishi won’t cover the repair because it’s over 60,000 miles, I feel like this is a safety concern as the hood flutters on the highway and I have 2 small children in the car most of the time one is an infant , they are trying to charge me $3,045 for the repair when it was the fault of Mitsubishi. I purchased the car preowned from Chrysler dodge jeep ram at 61,000 miles and there service department told me several times it’s normal and it’s fine, I finally brought it to a Mitsubishi service center and they told me about the issue. This should not have a warranty to be covered for repair it should be a recall , I’m worries the hood will pop open on the highway .
