    Getting ripped off at the dealership

    $400 for Service-3. Ok I can live with that. $400 plus tax. Ok that's expected. $400 plus shop supplies and tax. All right, I expect to be charged to shop supplies. But $40 for shop supplies because they charge a 'standard 10%' ? When they quote it as 'shop supplies' they play it down...

    False Advertising - Class Action Lawsuit

    I also live in Vancouver, I find it annoying when the ICE kicks in for 5-6 minutes on my 8-minute drive to take my daughter to school. Then I park the car, walk the dog at the park across the street, and when I return the ICE kicks in AGAIN.

    Should I avoid directional tires on AWD vehicle?

    I only just found out for AWD vehicles, if you replace one tire you should replace all of them. Apparently this has to do with the necessity for even tread wear (among other things). So my question is: if even tread wear is critical, should I then avoid directional tires? I feel non-directional...

    A Covid Outlander Story

    I meant to tell this story earlier. A couple years ago, my daughter graduated middle school, and so due to Covid-19 and social distancing, they had a drive-in outdoor ceremony along with a play that they recorded on video. The school rented this huge outdoor stage with a screen and they...

    How long take the pre-heat your car

    I find that if I pre-heat my car, the battery won't be fully charged. How long do you need to stop the heating to give the charger time to fully charge the car?

    Help! Parked in cold weather and starting system won't turn OFF

    When you say the wifi module, I assume you mean the Mitsubishi Remote Ctrl app on my phone? But do you mean I need to use that app to set the configuration to make it top up the charge daily? Or that I need to use the app daily? Or is the fact that I've use the app at least once previously...

    Help! Parked in cold weather and starting system won't turn OFF

    Thanks for the responses, everyone. Let me try to summarize, so make sure I understand correctly. I need to dumb it down a little :-) So from what I'm gathering, there's two batteries in the PHEV. One is the main drive battery which is charged when the car is plugged in overnight for...

    Outrageous deal, something wrong?

    Wow Henry, that's really crappy. I hope somehow you get compensated. Were you able to take the police to the guy who sold it somehow?

    Help! Parked in cold weather and starting system won't turn OFF

    Update: I waited for over five minutes and the car kept doing that. I went in and tried more searching online, posted this, read the manual, etc. After about 30 minutes I went out and the start button wasn't orange any more. But when I opened the door it still complained at me. So I took...

    Help! Parked in cold weather and starting system won't turn OFF

    Please help! I'm on a skiing trip, and parked my Outlander PHEV outside in cold weather (about -25 C on average over this past 10 days). I unburied my car from the snow and tried to start it and it wouldn't properly start (not surprised, I figured I'd have to boost it) - but even worse, now it...

    Bluetooth issues

    We've been having issues lately with our bluetooth when playing music or streaming from a phone. What happens is, every 3-4 seconds, the audio will cut out for about a second. Then it will resume, and the cycle repeats itself. I've tried repairing the phone, but the problem still happens...

    Wind deflectors?

    Isn't one of their purposes to reduce wind noise? I just want to make sure I understand properly, as you say you didn't like the wind noise being generated by these things. Thanks.

    Rust spots?

    Thanks for the responses and tips, everyone. I just found it odd that these spots are on this vehicle only, but none of my other nor previous vehicles. Thanks!

    Wind deflectors?

    Anyone here have those wind deflectors that go on each window? I'm considering a set of those and have a few questions if you don't mind. They are called "wind deflectors" but my primary purpose for wanting to get them is actually for rain. Particularly: a. It rains a lot where I live...

    Rust spots?

    I have a Pearl White 2018 PHEV. I've noticed some small rusty looking spots all over. We always park in our garage. The dealer says it's not rust - but that it's some residue from the spray on our roads here in BC, Canada. But none of my other vehicles have these spots. Any of you have...

    Any experience with Phev on Marine Slipways and Towing?

    Be careful of this happening when launching your boat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nB7fzyU02o Although reports say he was only using the auto-hold function, rather than the parking brake. Apparently, a few hours later, the vehicle caught fire...

    Whistling from the sunroof area

    I've been hearing some whistle type of noise coming from the sunroof. I know it's closed, and I even opened and re-closed it several times to be sure. I put my hand around it and don't feel any kind of air movement. Anyone else having this problem?

    Wifi problem

    This may sound dumb - but try putting your Location ON. I think I had to do that too.

    25 kms (15miles) after charging the battery

    The feeling is understandable. I've had my Outlander for over a year and even though I know it's a "guessometer" - I still don't like it when the battery is full and it shows a low number. I just got my car back from the dealer when they serviced at and part of what they were doing was a...
