Model years to avoid

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

What it says about you

Opinion

Sold nearly unchanged for over a decade. Cheap, warranted, and honest about what it is.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

17 model years on record, 873 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2017 (years), 2016 (outlander contact), 2015 (transmission), 2014 (forward), 2013 (wipers), 2011 (outlander contact). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.
