46Mitsubishi year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 1,743 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the power train than any other system: 417 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2022 Outlander, with 216.
NHTSA holds 120 recall campaigns naming Mitsubishi vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here. A death has been reported in 5 of these 46 vehicles.
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
The systems named most often across every Mitsubishi complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
The newest campaigns naming a Mitsubishi, by the date the manufacturer's defect report reached NHTSA. Each one covers a build range, which may be narrower than the model years listed.
