The front and rear backup cameras on my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander have completely failed, leaving me with a blank, black screen. This creates a severe safety hazard when parking and reversing. My vehicle's VIN explicitly shows an active "Remedy Status: Repair Available" on the official Mitsubishi portal for safety recalls SR-25-001, SR-23-001, and SR-22-003.The local dealerships claim the recall was already completed in April. However, if the safety issue was truly and permanently fixed, the "Remedy Status" column would match and say "Completed." Instead, the manufacturer's live system explicitly says "Repair Available," proving my vehicle is legally owed the updated software fix.Despite this clear safety status, Jeremy Franklin Mitsubishi (demanding 182) and Northtowne Mitsubishi (demanding 169) are refusing to perform these safety repairs unless I pay an out-of-pocket diagnostic fee. Mitsubishi Corporate Customer Relations has also refused to stop the dealerships from imposing these illegal financial barriers on an open federal safety recall

Automatic Emergency Breaking sometimes occurs while driving in rainy weather even when there are no obstructions in the front of the vehicle. This causes spinouts and exccessive wear and tear on break pads and rotors. Also, many shops and dealerships are having issues with putting 2022 year model outlanders in "maintenance mode" to be able to change rear ebs brakes. Due to this you cannot drive your vehicle and/or rish not having proper break functions. THIS IS URGENT!!!

I’ve had it looked at twice at two different places and they don’t see anything wrong with it but when you hit bumps, especially going high rate of speed, it feels like you’re gonna lose control of the backend. When I looked online, there’s multiple people with the exact same issues and they take it in and they see that everything‘s tight and nothing’s worn out but even my daughter doesn’t like driving our car going down the highways because it feels like you’re gonna lose control. My car doesn’t even have 50,000 miles on it and I just bought it. The back end feels like it kicks out to the side.

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.
