2019 Mitsubishi Outlander phev problems
The Mitsubishi Outlander (Japanese: 三菱・アウトランダー, Hepburn: Mitsubishi Autorandā) is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors since 2001. It was originally known as the Mitsubishi Airtrek (Japanese: 三菱・エアトレック, Hepburn: Mitsubishi Eatorekku) when it was introduced in Japan.
The original Airtrek name was chosen to "describe the vehicle's ability to transport its passengers on adventure-packed journeys in a 'free-as-a-bird' manner", and was "coined from Air and Trek to express the idea of footloose, adventure-filled motoring pleasure." The Outlander nameplate which replaced it evoked a "feeling of journeying to distant, unexplored lands in search of adventure."
The second generation of the vehicle was introduced in 2006 and all markets including Japan adopted the Outlander name, although production of the older version continued in parallel. It was built on the company's GS platform, and used various engines developed by Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, and PSA Peugeot Citroën. PSA's Citroën C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007, which were manufactured by Mitsubishi in Japan, are badge engineered versions of the second generation Outlander. Global sales achieved the 1.5 million unit milestone in October 2016, 15 years after its market launch.
As part of the third generation line-up, Mitsubishi launched in January 2013 a plug-in hybrid model called Outlander PHEV. As of January 2022, global sales totaled about 300,000 units, and according to JATO Dynamics, the Outlander PHEV is the world's all-time best selling plug-in hybrid since December 2018. As of 2019, Europe is the leading market with over 126,000 units sold through January 2019, and the Outlander plug-in hybrid listed as Europe's best-selling plug-in hybrid car for five years running, 2015 to 2019.
The fourth-generation model was released 2021. Following Mitsubishi's entry to Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, the fourth-generation Outlander is based on the Rogue/X-Trail, which is built on the CMF-CD platform.

Common 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander phev problems
Based on the complaints from owners of the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, several common problems have been reported:
- Door Latches: Some models built between May 6, 2015, and March 14, 2016, experienced malfunctions in the door latching mechanism, potentially leading to doors opening while the vehicle is in motion. Affected cars require new latches to be installed by a Mitsubishi dealer.
- ECU Relay: Vehicles manufactured between December 5, 2014, and March 31, 2016, had issues with the ECU relay overheating, causing engine stalling. The solution involves replacing the relay to resolve the problem.
- Parking Brake: Outlanders produced from the start of production until January 21, 2016, faced problems with the parking brake caliper boot allowing water ingress, leading to corrosion and reduced parking brake effectiveness. An inspection by a technician at a dealership is necessary for affected vehicles.
- Electronic Stability Program: Some models made between August 4, 2016, and January 22, 2018, had interruptions in the braking function of driving assistance systems like the electronic stability program (ESP). A software update is required to rectify this issue.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): Certain Outlanders equipped with AEB and built between August 5, 2016, and November 6, 2017, experienced a software problem. This can be resolved with a simple update at the dealership.
- Airflow Sensor: Early Outlanders had issues with corrosion on the airflow sensor affecting engine performance. This problem should have been addressed, but it's advisable to consult with a Mitsubishi dealer for confirmation.
- Fuel Leak: Vehicles constructed between July 21 and September 12, 2015, may have a fuel system connection problem leading to fuel leaks. Inspection by a technician at a Mitsubishi dealer is necessary to address this issue.
These reported problems highlight the importance of regular maintenance and prompt attention to any issues that may arise with the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to ensure optimal performance and safety.

STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-20
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: JA4AZ3A38KZ
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: I was approaching my car and used my keyfob to open the trunk. As it was opening, I was thankfully facing away from the trunk when the rod from the right tailgate lift support flew off, hitting me in my shoulder blade. It sounded like a gunshot. While there was no puncture, due to my thick t shirt and the rod hitting the bone of my right shoulder blade, the pain was severe. Before I realized it was the tailgate support strut, i genuinely thought I had been shot, due to the sound and the pain. Had I been facing my car, the rod would've gone through my face. Had it hit my eye, I indubitably would have lost that eye or my eyesight. There was no warning. I have never experienced anything out of the ordinary with my trunk door or the mechanisms to lift it. This easily could've severely injured me or someone else, or damaged property significantly. Upon inspection visually, the non-threaded end of the rod appears to have snapped off. The hydraulics were so strong that the 5mm thick metal snapped in half within milliseconds. I have an appointment at the Mitsubishi dealership where I got the car to get to the root cause. They confirmed over the phone that my car is too new to have tailgate lift support failure.

I compared all the Hybrid & electric SUVs available in 2018 models and found the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GT to be the best choice financially and in terms of performance. After careful consideration of all the factors, including price, performance, interior & exterior looks and amenities, and car reviews, buying this SUV was a no brainer. I have owned this vehicle for 8 months and I haven’t regretted my decision. I’m so pleased with it and I get a lot of compliments from strangers on it. I live in Hawaii where Toyota & Honda dominate the market, but I love all the perks that come with owning this car, such as free EV parking, driving solely in electric mode, tax rebates, etc. I bought the ruby black pearl color and it shimmers in the sunshine. All my family and friends love the exterior, interior, and driving performance as much as I do. I’ve owned BMWs, Toyotas, Fords, Saturns, and Hondas in the past and I must say, this vehicle comes in 1st place for me. The only downside is I wish it had better electric driving range, but given everything else it does have, I still love it. I hope this review helps you make an informed decision on your next car purchase!

I usually cover a distance of 500 to 700 miles on 9 to 10 gallons of gas, while charging several times a week. The car is comfortable, has great visibility, and although it's not a luxury car, the interior is decent. Considering the price, it's hard to find a better deal.
-
Super comfortable, drives great, and has a terrifically quiet electric driving.

Hey there! Have you considered getting a second one?
Other years of Mitsubishi Outlander phev
Are you having problems with your 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander phev?
Angus Bosco 2024-10-15
I purchased the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Model 2019 from Surrey Mitsubishi in December 2019. Unfortunately, the vehicle has some manufacturing defects that have caused it to malfunction. Despite taking it to the dealership twice, the issue has not been resolved and I am currently unable to use the PHEV feature due to the vehicle not charging. I have expressed my concerns to both the dealership and the manufacturer, but have yet to receive a satisfactory response or solution. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.
Aidan Erdman 2024-08-17
I was really excited about the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. It had all the safety features I wanted, including surround cameras and accident avoidance features. I was ready to sign on the dotted line. However, I was disappointed to learn that it didn't have an integrated navigation system. I've had integrated navigation in all my cars since it was first introduced. I tried to convince myself that I could live with navigation through the vehicle from my phone, but then I found out that when you're using a navigation app on your phone, you can't use any other app features in the vehicle. I think it would be great if Mitsubishi offered integrated Navigation as an option, even if it was at an additional cost. Overall, I'm still a fan of the Outlander PHEV, but I hope they consider adding this feature in the future.
Carroll Romaguera 2024-07-29
If you are in the market for a new vehicle, I would recommend considering other options besides the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. While I was initially drawn to this car for its innovative green technology and the promise of high mpg/gallon and a federal tax incentive, I have found that the 100% electronic controls can be frustrating to navigate. However, with some time and patience, you can adapt to the new driving experience. I did have a concerning incident where the car began to reverse without a driver due to a technical issue, which resulted in some damage to my property. While Mitsubishi was not as helpful as I would have liked, I was able to file a claim with my insurance company for the damages. Additionally, I experienced a fuel system malfunction that required a software upgrade. Overall, I believe that this car still needs some improvements before it is ready for sale, and I would encourage potential buyers to consider other options.Let me tell you about the gas mileage. The car can get anywhere from 14-100mpg, with 50-100mpg on the freeway during a long road trip. However, the gas tank is small, so you'll need to fill up frequently. This car may not be the best choice for long commutes or road trips. Additionally, the gasoline engine is not very efficient. If you're considering purchasing a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, keep in mind that it may be an overpriced and poorly tested software package. It's important to live close to a dealership, as not many people know how to work on the car.

Pros: The vehicle boasts quality materials and an enormous cargo space, all at a good price point after incentives. However, it's worth noting that the acceleration may feel sluggish and the front leg room may not be enough for taller individuals. Additionally, the battery range is quite limited.
