I am reporting a safety concern involving complete airbag non-deployment in a frontal collision. On January 9, 2026 I was involved in a frontal collision while driving my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The impact caused significant front-end damage, and the vehicle was subsequently deemed a total loss by the other driver’s insurance company. None of the airbags deployed, including the driver and passenger frontal airbags. There were no airbag warning lights or system alerts illuminated prior to the collision. A police report was filed for this incident. I was not injured; however, the other driver sustained injuries. Given the severity of the frontal impact and the resulting damage, I believe the airbags should have deployed. This raises concerns regarding a potential defect or failure in the airbag system, crash sensors, or airbag control module. I have photographs documenting the vehicle damage. I am submitting this report so the incident can be reviewed for potential vehicle safety defects that may affect other vehicles.

My airbag light has been on for the past 4 days indicating a problem with the system. I am bringing my car in tomorrow to be serviced, but this car is ridiculous. This is now the 4th time that this car has been in the shop since February and needs to be investigated. This vehicle is NOT safe.

I purchase my 2016 mitsubishi outlander in december of 2016. I had my vehicle come to a complete while accelerating and in motion. This could of killed me and my family. My vehicle has had consistent acceleration and hesitating issues while accelerating and in motion. Something is wrong with the transmission or engine. There's a major problem with my vehicle not being able to accelerate normally and safely. My air bag light on my vehicle has not come on for over years. I am very concern that my airbag is defective and won't work if I get into a vehicle accident. I have took my vehicle to 2 different mitsubishi auto dealerships to have the problem looked at and diagnosed, but mitsubishi can't diagnose or determine what's causing the problem. There's a problem with my transmission and engine.
