Got the recall done yesterday. - 20c again last night. Finally seeing the battery too cold messages instead of faults. Don't let your dealer bullshit you as mine tried. It is not normal for these vehicles to have fault lights.

After many not returned phone calls, three unanswered emails to the service manager and much pushing with mitsubishi Canada the relay from the original check engine light that the dealer waved off as a soft code and a non issue will be replaced. However it is on back order and we are to call...

We can't. It would require an extension cord and the dealer was today questioning if we had used an extension cord because we're not supposed to use an extension cord as it maybe "damage the vehicle." I used an extension cord for years on my old phev without issue but I'm not about to give them...

Dealer returned the car again today. From what the wife tells me they didn't really do anything and are waiting for mitsubishi Canada to decide what, "if anything," to do about these error codes. "If anything" seems absurd to me. Clearly the hvb voltage too low indicates the hvb is too cold...

Maybe the low 12v was just another symptom. It started again today with check engine light, powertrain fault light and service ev system messages. Luckily I am in training starting later than usual today and was able to pull the fault codes myself. 3 codes. P0A84 - hybrid battery pack...

I agree but the dealer says no. It's fine and both the dealer and mitsubishi Canada described me asking for it to be replaced as "insisting." Yes, the engine is started from the hvb but, my previous phev anyway, the hvb was disconnected when the car was off and the 12v battery is required to...

The cabin lights were dim as though the 12v was dead and a jump allowed the vehicle to start. My previous phev always had weird issues as the 12v got old and didn't supply stable power to all the electronics. Dealer says it's fine, was never discharged and not the issue but it was dead enough...

They're returning the vehicle today. They say nothing is wrong with it. Mitsubishi Canada calling the dealer accomplished nothing and the tech never called me as mitsubishi Canada said they were going to. Also the 12v battery is a controlled special order $400-500 part on this vehicle and if I...

Wife says she tried holding in the start for 30 seconds. Nothing. Was at the dealer overnight. They found nothing wrong it this morning since it was much warmer out. Called mitsubishi Canada. Directed me to the manual and said they would call the dealer. Manual says nothing of the issues we...

Well Canadian model isn't much different. - 20c this morning. Vehicle won't completely start, won't shut off. Thinks it's still plugged in when it's not. Service brakes now. Service ev system now. Dealer says it's normal for these to start acting up in the cold but is towing it and will reflash...

And even stop working at - 15c?! I feel that is something that should have been made very clear before buying the thing. Hopefully that's one of the many differences between the north American and EU versions as it at least seems to run ok. Just giving faults. I guess it'll be my last...

2018 outlander phev Canadian model had a check engine light this morning. First - 20c morning. Booked appointment for 4pm. Light went out before got it to dealer. Dealer said no stored codes. "It was a soft code and probably just because of the cold." Said they had multiple outlander PHEVs in...
