Reliability
The 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander reliability score of 8.0 out of 10 is the Predicted Reliability rating provided by J.D. Power and Associates. This score is based on trending the past three years of historical initial quality and dependability data from J.D. Power's automotive studies, specifically the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) and the Initial Quality Study (IQS).
One notable advantage the Outlander has over competitors is a long basic warranty, which is good for five years or 60,000 miles. It also comes with a lengthy 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Mitsubishi is recalling 2007 and 2008 Outlanders due to a malfunction that might prevent the brake lights from turning on. A defect notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration explains, "The stop lamp switch of the subject vehicles may have been contaminated with silicone grease during vehicle assembly. If the contamination is sufficient, the contact points may become coated with silicone oxide and not allow the brake lamps to be operative," which "will not provide warning to following traffic and could result in a crash."
