"I just noticed similar issue with my late 2014 4h.. Tailgate opens up no problem but then immediately goes down.. Is this a sensor issue or the supports struts?" This is the same as when mine failed, motor opens the tailgate and then closes. The motor lifts up and opens the door and then...

Thanks for the suggestion of re-gassing, I had thought about it but I have just bought two new struts for £41 and decided that it was cheap enough to go with the new replacements.

I have just had the same problem that you have described on my 2015 pre-facelift 4H. I have just bought two new "Maxgear" struts for £41 for the pair which included the VAT and P+P and they fitted perfectly and the tailgate goes up and down just as before without any undue sound of the motor...

Thanks for the suggestion, and I have considered it, but breakers yards in the UK have gone a lot pricier than they used to be and being used they could give up at any time, especially if they have been involved in the stresses caused by an accident. I was hoping that someone might have already...

Hi, I need to replace both taligate struts ,but my local Mitsu dealer is qouting £90+ each and they only have one side available for order at the moment. So my question is does anyone know the opening force of the struts (2015 pre-facelift with electric opener)? they may have slightly different...

You could always pull a sicky and say that you are self isolating as you think that you have car-owner virus :shock:

Hi Zoya5, The quick answer is no, never experienced or heard of it happening. I sometimes used to get static electric shocks from my previous car (Diesel X-Trail), getting in or out and touching the metal frame on the door, but I have never had any since getting my Outlander, 3 years ago (Happy...

STS134, I was agreeing with your point that the car could/should provide extra information, (I would like to see coolant temps and engine revs as well), but I'm afraid you have lost credibility with me in this discussion when you bring up the Boing Boing 737 latest problem and cover up...

From your other post it looks like you are looking for a "65" plate car, I have a "15" plate pre-facelift GX4h, the only thing that the GX4hs had extra was some safety kit like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control, which some people seem to like or loath (I am personally happy that...

I have had my pre-facelift PHEV for nearly three years now and it hasn't missed a beat and still feels as good as the day I bought it, so yes I would certainly look at Mitsubishi the next time I change, but that probably won't be for a good few years yet as I don't change my car if it is...

Glad you're enjoying your PHEV :D , I'm still really enjoying mine after several years of smooth and reliable ownership. Like so many things about PHEV's it is very subjective to your individual requirements, I personally don't charge during a journey at all, just overnight at home, but the big...

Maybe it's my memory failing me, and this is only my opinion, but I wouldn't say the Montego was stylish, I agree that it was definately very spacious but the styling and build quality was like someone had given a 5 year old a box of badly chewed lego and told to design and build a car in under...

I have run out of popcorn and will now interject with my opinion on this thread (and a few others). I think that the Outlander PHEV is a great car that is radically different to any other car that I have owned or driven, and yes it does have its faults, although in my humble opinion they are...

I think making some of the buttons "sticky" would be a good place to begin with, and how about a volume control for some of the beeps and bongs? You've got me thinking now(I can definitely smell something burning!) I have a MY14 and it never shows the MPG above 99, so being able to see the...

I think people are worrying far too much about the battery in the PHEV. I just drive and charge the car as is required and what fits around my life. The car is just a tool to get me and mine from A to B, and it does that reliably and comfortably (albeit with a wobbly gear knob :roll: ooer...

Hello Kesto, the gearstick for want of a better word or the rod that sticks out of the centre console is fine and operates as it should, the problem that has been identified here is the plastic gear knob is loose in its attachment to the top of the gearstick. If you place your thumb and fore...

No worries, in fact thank you, for giving me the nudge that I needed to look at something I've been meaning to do for over a year. Thanks also to Steel188 for posting, otherwise I would have carried on thinking it was the norm to have a semi-floppy joystick instead of a nice firm one (oh dear...

That would certainly solve the problem, but you would need to use something that won't permanently fix it in place as the top of the joystick needs to be able to come off should there be a need to remove the rest of the centre console. I am content to leave it as it is, but as a quick bodge you...

Just had a proper look at the plastic top of the joystick/gearshift and it does have signs of wear in the plastic from being removed and refitted. This morning was the first time that I have ever taken it off and the wear looks to me as though it has been taken off a good number of times :shock...

Happy new year to you all, having just read that Steel188 didn't have any play it awoke my dormant and retired inner engineer and I started to wonder what the problem is if any. I had looked at four (including my own) PHEVs, all of which displayed some movement in the joystick, which is why I...
