NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints filed for the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander are spread across a handful of systems, with no single issue dominating by a wide margin. The electrical system draws the most reports, centered on the PHEV variant's infotainment and backup camera freezing or going black while in reverse. Adaptive cruise control generates multiple reports describing sluggish speed resumption and abrupt, unexpected braking when cross-traffic clears an intersection. Seatbelt retraction problems appear in more than one report, with owners describing both the driver and passenger belts failing to retract properly. A separate report describes the fuel range display reading 18 to 48 miles of remaining range on multiple occasions before the vehicle ran out of fuel entirely. One isolated report describes a front tie rod snapping while the vehicle was parked, causing both front wheels to turn inward.
