I was coming to a stop from 40 mph and CLUNK!!! The cross member on my suspension is rusted so severely that the wheel and steering column are in danger of being ripped apart. The car has 104,927 miles on it and is well cared for. Mitsubishi has recalls on this cross member part for 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander and other years in states that use salt on the roads. I feel this part is defective and I should have a recall that gets my car repaired. I believe my driving conditions mimic northern salted roadway conditions. I lived in upstate NY for 39 years. I now live in Florida and drive directly on the beach sand in New Smyrna Beach. I tow a boat in and out of salt water. My car is sprayed off with my boat and trailer after every trip. I know how to fight salt. The cross member is defective. My car is a V6 and fits the parameters of the recall perfectly except I'm not living in the North. My car engine is in perfect running condition. My car is too dangerous to drive because of the faulty cross member. I am lucky I had enough sense to take it to a local garage or I could have literally been killed trying to make it 25 miles to my dealership. I was going 40 mph and coming up to a red light I put my foot on the brake and CLUNK!! IT WAS SCARY SCARY!!! I drove directly to my local garage. They examined it on the 10th. They called my husband and I and said you need to see this damage. IT IS BAD! The cross member is rusted on the driver's side of the car and is a hairs breath away from complete failure. The passenger side is fine.

Mitsubishi Motors has been contacted several times in the past about the ETACS system being faulty. The windshield wipers on this particular car went out in February, 2017, at which time they were contacted and rudely refused culpability. The car has had recall-related services completed: 2 windshield wiper recalls and a corrosion-related recall. I was told by the Mitsubishi tech in Asheville, NC that the recall on the wipers did not cover the faulty ETACS, "which is a common repair on 06-11 Mitsubishis." He was more than happy to give me a quote for more than $1,000 to replace the defective ETACS. We've replaced coil springs that snapped in two as I pulled out from my driveway with my children in tow - NOT covered by the recall because the mileage on the vehicle was 3,800 miles OVER Mitsubishi's pre-set mileage limit. I have had numerous problems out of the vehicle: coil springs snapped in two, ETACS failure, (still) non-functioning windshield wipers, corroded/rotted exhaust that cost nearly $1,000 to repair - not REPLACE but to REPAIR -, electrical failures related to headlights/interior lights/Bluetooth/cruise control, and severe cross member corrosion. I have reached out to Mitsubishi Motors several times since purchasing the vehicle, and other than speaking to extremely rude representatives three times by phone, no one has ever responded to me about my concerns. Most concerning right now: The anti-corrosion that was applied by the Mitsubishi dealership should have been a complete replacement of the front and back subframes, as BOTH are completely ROTTEN and CRUMBLING from rust! My daughter had been driving this vehicle with her baby in tow until recently! It is completely unacceptable that Mitsubishi Motors has not been held accountable and forced to fix these issues!

When visiting local dealership for a state inspection it was found the rear subframe of my 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2WD Model XLS has rusted completely through. I an internet search it was found that this was a common occurrence and a highly dangerous issue and it would not pass for a safety inspection. It appears from the number of complaints posted on various message boards it is widely known that this inferior component exists in a number of years for this and other models in the Mitsubishi brand. While its was noted in posting that the Mitsubishi dealership recognized this defect as a recall item, it was not showing up in the NTSB safety recall list for my VIN [XXX] . Please advise as to the investigation into this serious component failure and the recall status via return email.

The front crossmember was a recall that I had done, this past weekend I had my tires changed and the shop showed me that my rear crossmember IS cracked. The crack IS along the factory welding. This IS the same issue as I had with the front crossmember. It causes major safety issues and I believe that it should be a recall as it IS cracked along the factory weld which should hold better than it IS. The rear crossmember should be as with the back...

I took picture of underneath the car and shows the oil discharge from transfer case.

I called both mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820 and mitsubishi dealer paul blanco in sacramento at 916-485-2277 and both of then either pretend to be unaware of the problem or did not honor their commitments to repair or replace the assembly and rectify the fault/problem. appreciate your time and patience with me. awaiting your kind and timely response. ps:have more pictures but somehow I couldn't download more![xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6).' *pm

My son only weeks ago was given his mother's 2007 outlander as an upgrade to his former vehicle. days ago, he found pieces of the sub frame breaking off underneath after hearing an odd noise during operation. this vehicle was purchased new in 2007 in omaha, ne. mitsubishi's recall for sub frame corrosion does not include vehicles purchased in nebraska as it isn't in the narrowly defined "salt belt" (although iowa IS included). if you have never been to omaha, ne during the winter you would know that the city puts as much salt and salt brine on the roads as anywhere else in the nation--winter weather, i.e. Snow and ice-- in omaha IS severe. vehicles that are operated regularly in the omaha area rust prematurely and that IS a fact. this vehicle IS now unsafe to drive and the value IS probably near zero but mitsubishi will not cover the cost to repair. the nhtsa should extend the sub frame recall to other states where the use of road salt IS extensive i.e. Nebraska, colorado, utah, etc...this IS a travesty and should be rectified immediately before someone IS severely injured or killed driving these vehicles.

Took my 2007 mitsubishi outlander xls V-6 to dealership for several recalls including recall no. 16V-458 / sr-16-003 on may 05, 2018. I picked up my vehicle and was told it did not require the cross member replacement and the anti corrosion spray was performed. around 7:00 pm edt saturday, march 23, 2019 while entering a exit lane on us 119 northbound at the green road exit, my car made a loud grinding sound and starting pulling very hard to the left and came to an abrupt stop after approximately 10-15 feet. fortunately, I was entering the turn lane and was slowing down or it could have easily force me into the medium divider or even into oncoming traffic. I could not move the vehicle forward and put my emergency flashers on to avoid being rear ended by oncoming traffic. I was very concerned as I had my 3 year old grand daughter with me and it IS a very congested area. I tried to exit the vehicle to see if I could determine what was wrong. the driver door had to be forced open as I later discovered after exiting the vehicle that the from left fender had been pushed back into the door area by the front tire. after a quick inspection it appeared the control arm broke. after removing the tire, it was evident that the cross member had separated from the vehicle due to extreme corrosion causing the loss of control and abrupt stop. this IS the exact problem I had taken it into the dealership for the recall and was told mine did not need replaced. I am attaching pictures of the vehicle to show the missing and broken cross member. there IS no way this corroded to the failure point since the recall repair was allegedly completed. further more, if treating the area was supposedly sufficient to prevent further corrosion (as opposed to the replacement of the cross member), this failure should not have taken place. therefore, every cross member should be replaced!
