Our reliability study for this generation Mitsubishi Outlander includes details on average repair costs, manufacturer recalls, and everything you need to know to gauge the long-term reliability of this generation Mitsubishi Outlander .
Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Climate control:
The temperature dial for the heater may stick due to a dirty gear track or a bent link in the system and revised parts kit is available and a filter should be installed. (2003)
Engine fan:
The engine may overheat because the soldered connection for the radiator fan controller can short out and the company was replacing fan controllers with a voluntary recall. (2003-04)
None:
The vehicle may vibrate, shudder or surge when cruising between 35-50 mph because the transmission fluid breaks down causing torque converter clutch to misbehave. (2003)
