My 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has experienced recurring, severe powertrain failures causing a dangerous 'PHEV System Fault / Power Reduced' limp mode at highway speeds, dropping instantly from 60+ MPH to severely restricted speeds. This creates an immediate risk of a high-speed rear-end collision. The vehicle is currently fully dismantled at Jidd Motors Mitsubishi while technicians execute an extensive internal mechanical teardown of the engine's valve cover and cylinder valvetrain assembly to look for top-end structural damage. The vehicle has been non-functional and out of service for 38 days with no fix in site and at this point no communication from Mitsubishi.

Vehicle: 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV I am filing this safety complaint regarding a recurring electrical/software defect in my 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV affecting the backup camera display and infotainment screen. The backup camera screen repeatedly freezes and goes completely black while the vehicle is in reverse gear. This eliminates all rear visibility during backing maneuvers, posing a serious risk of striking pedestrians, cyclists, or objects — especially children in blind spots who cannot otherwise be seen. In addition, the infotainment screen has shut off entirely at least once while the vehicle was being driven, creating a dangerous distraction and loss of vehicle controls. I want to be clear that my dealership has acted in complete good faith and has done everything within their power to diagnose and resolve this issue. They have worked diligently on my behalf and are not the source of the problem. The failure to provide a fix lies squarely with Mitsubishi Motors North America, which has been unable or unwilling to supply an adequate repair, software update, or resolution despite being made fully aware of this ongoing safety defect. I have contacted Mitsubishi Motors North America directly on multiple occasions. They have failed to provide a satisfactory explanation, a committed timeline for a fix, or any path toward resolution. This is not a dealer-level issue — this is a manufacturer-level failure to address a known defect. This is not a convenience issue — the failure of a federally mandated backup camera system is a safety defect. Federal law (49 CFR Part 571, FMVSS 111) requires rear visibility systems to function properly at all times. I respectfully request that NHTSA open a formal investigation into this defect and determine whether a recall or technical service bulletin is warranted for the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

I rented this car from Drivo on July 17th. On the 21st we noticed the tire light. When we went to the garage to get this checked the two rear tires were bald, with the wires showing through the tires. We have photos of this, and a statement from the garage that the tires were in an illegal/unroadworthy condition. Despite raising this in many emails with the company, Drivo/Ace, nobody has made any response to our safety concerns. I think that this car may still be in an unroadworthy condition.
