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 â 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 â this is a manufacturer-level failure to address a known defect.  This is not a convenience issue â 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.

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER 2025 BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

I was parked in a parking spot and when returned to my car and turned my car on a loud bang came from the front of the vehicle.  Both of my front tires were facing inward.  The drivers side front tie rod snapped with a clean break for no reason.  The vehicle was towed to the dealer where after inspection there was no obvious reason for this to happen, no damage to the tire, aluminum wheel, or any other component under the car.  There was no warning of any kind, the vehicle was driving perfectly smooth and not pulling to one side just before this happened.  The vehicle and damaged tie rod are available for inspection.  Needless to say If i were driving at highway speeds there could have been catastrophic injury.  As of right now Mitsubishi only viewed pictures, I asked them to inspect the vehicle but they did not.  I would prefer NHTSA inspect the tie rods because if this happened while parked the tie rod could be defective and dangerous.

David the Mitsubishi technician drove with me today and witnessed the issues with the adaptive cruise control system.   1. Slow to gain speed on resume in any situation.   2. Car slamming on brakes when sensing a car at a red light, when a car leaves the lane that I am in and there is a stopped car at a red light or not stopping at all.   3. When making a turn into a left or right lane, car will not sense the other car or it will slam the brakes unsafely

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER 2025 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

I am reporting a safety defect involving my 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (VIN [XXX] ).  On five separate occasions between December 2025 and February 2026, my vehicle ran completely out of fuel despite the dashboard displaying between 18 and 48 miles of remaining driving range.  Four of these events occurred on active highways, resulting in sudden loss of engine power and creating immediate collision risk.  The dealership diagnosed and replaced the fuel tank gauge unit, fuel level sensor, and sub sensor under warranty. Service documentation references Technical Information Notice TIN #XXX, indicating this is a known issue.  This defect caused unexpected highway shutdowns and serious safety exposure.  I am concerned other drivers may experience similar failures. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
