What owners report
“The hood bounces and flutters. It is especially bad driving on the interstate. It is so much that I am scared to drive it.”— owner report to NHTSA, 2022 Outlander
“Following a car they stopped all of a sudden collision warning did not activate and did not try to break had to stomp on the pedal to stop. Parking sensors do not activate until you are 2 or 3 inches away from hitting it.”— owner report to NHTSA, 2022 Outlander
“The hood shakes when driving above 40MPH, it increases intensity as you drive faster, feeling like it will come unlatched, resulting in an accident. Is there going to be a recall for this?”— owner report to NHTSA, 2022 Outlander
“While driving or coming to a stop, the engine will shut off, the infotainment system will reboot and the car needs to be stopped, put into park if it hadn't done so and turned back on. It does this randomly and because the dealer cannot recreate it, it constantly gets ignored. We are not sure why…”— owner report to NHTSA, 2022 Outlander
