Just as an update, the car was picked up today by Mitsubishi assistance after a lot of discussions whether to get it repaired first or not before going to Mitsubishi. I had to move the car so it could be loaded onto the lorry. If I held my foot on the brake pedal it went to the floor in about...

Yes the drive train may be different however I'm sure that they are not going to rewrite the fly by wire code from scratch and I expect that there are many parts etc in both drive trains that are exactly the same, as it would be costly for Mitsubishi not to reuse as many components as possible...

Nope, I didn't say Outlander PHEV, I just stated Outlander. http://www.carcomplaints.com/Mitsubishi/Outlander/2016/brakes/service_brakes.shtml http://www.carcomplaints.com/Mitsubishi/Outlander/2015/brakes/brakes_failed.shtml I'd assume that some of the components on the Outlander are also on...

So doing a bit of research I have found various instances related to brake failure on the Outlander PHEV, here in the UK and in the US. In the US there has been a recall for the Outlander due to a defect in the Accelerator System. Cheers, Ozukus

Today while parking the car, my Outlander PHEV shot forward, even though I had my foot firmly on the brake. Luckily the car in front of me stopped it from hitting anything worse, like a person. Has anyone else experienced a problem with either the brakes or the car accelerating oddly. For...

Got the email and had to check my Calendar to make sure I hadn't gone back in a timewarp to 1st April. I use, well used to use, these quite regularly and on average I get about 6.4KW of charge. That works out to be about 78.1pence per KW. I pay 9.1pence at home so that's an 850% uplift in the...

Personally, if I pull into a location that has a charge bay and it's free, and I need a charge, I'm going to use it. I purchased the PHEV on the basis that I needed the extended range of the ICE as some of my journeys are beyond the range of a LEAF and I couldn't afford a Tesla. When making...

Our company is finally putting in charge points at the office. If anyone has a Type 1 to Type 2 connector that they really aren't getting use out of and would like to sell it then let me know. Otherwise it will be off to EV Connectors to purchase one so I'm ready for the New Year!! Cheers,

so dropped my PHEV off at the Masters Mitsubishi in Bromley for a service on Friday, pick up on Saturday. Asked for 2 things - Have the wipers set to standard intermittent - A report on the battery When I went to pick it up, asked about the wipers, which they said couldn't be done. Asked for...

Or a really, really, really long extension cable, and then just do it at home!

The rain sensitive wipers in mine are useless. My windscreen is always clean, however they behave erratically. Can't wait for the service next month to have them set to standard intermittent, which unfortunately you can't do yourself in a GX3h. If I was buying a GX3h now, I'd ask for this to...

Aha, didn't read it thoroughly enough, my padlock would have enough room for an extension cable as well, so that would work, the thread he posted showed the extension and main part of the charge cable in the boot, with the boot closed over the two leads.

Personally I'd pay the extra for the 13amp on the basis that the car wants to draw 10amps so with a 10amp cable you are at the limits of its capacity.

maby, I don't think its the worry of the £20 extension cable, it's the £150-£200 charge cable that people are concerned about and try to secure.

If I used the provided charge cable I have a lock that will take 2 widths of the cable so I loop it through the Alloy and then apply the lock. Works find for me. http://www.diy.com/search/results/?question=padlock&prodNum=64&fromUtil=true&fromFacetForm=false&searchMode=and&sortOption=&pageSize=64
