I thought about it too and decided not to buy an Outlander. @Grandad bought one and decided to sell it because of the no start issue. He doubts that the software update will solve the issue. See what he wrote here and elsewhere on this forum.

I notice that the battery balancing doesn't seem to be a listed item in the Canadian maintenance schedule at https://www.mitsubishi-motors.ca/en/owners/maintenance-service/service-schedules. I suppose that someone could refuse to pay for the balancing but would then have to live with the reduced...

I noticed that the PHEV Watchdog app has this feature. User @GreyBigFoot developed this app. See his post at https://www.myoutlanderphev.com/threads/phev-watchdog-for-all.3166/page-2. I notice that the screenshots on this page are not viewable in the thread I quoted, Here is a screenshot I...

You might get the PHEV Watchdog Android app and a compatible ODB2 adapter and use them to check the condition of the traction battery. This works for older Outlanders, not more recent model years. See https://www.phevwatchdog.net/ The app will give a State of Health of the battery (SoH) which I...

Thanks @tyleriv for your reply. When you mentioned “blanket like” in your original post I envisioned something of fabric that might get mouldy. But I now realize that you are referring to a rubberized pad. In another post you mentioned the "Canadian Polar Pad", 75W 2"x3" available on Amazon. My...

@tyleriv Did you consider the workaround I suggested in August of a heating pad assembly attached to the vehicle for the winter and removed for the warmer months? I am thinking that a doormat style heating pad might be less inclined to get mouldy after a season’s use than a blanket. With either...

I was considering buying the Outlander PHEV but changed my mind after reading about the risk of being stranded in cold weather. I have an idea somewhat similar to that suggested by @tyleriv for those who have already bought one. The idea is to attach a removable heating pad assembly of one or...

Since you might be away during a power outage, you might consider having a battery powered sump pump. I have a dual sump pump: a main pump that runs off house current and the other pump that runs off 12 volt battery power. The 12 volt battery is attached to a trickle charger. I bought the dual...

Maybe the dealer was being honest and that is refreshing. I would contrast that with the approach of Mitsubishi as a company with the 2023 and 2024 Outlander models. Although they sell across Canada and the United States, including in regions that experience prolonged cold temperatures they...

Thanks! Your correction taught me something today. I did an Internet search and found this: Generally, in both chemical and nuclear reactions, some conversion between rest mass and energy occurs so that the products generally have smaller or greater mass than the reactants. Therefore the new...

I guess you meant a joke... E = mc2 applies to nuclear reactions. The reactions in a battery are chemical.

The developer's website at https://phevwatchdog.net/ says Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (up to 2021).

I'd like an off-road ready minvan. But I would like them to fix the cold weather issues in which the Outlander refuses to start or accept a charge. Specifically, no matter how cold it gets, I would like to know that if the vehicle is plugged in, it will heat up the battery to a temperature at...

This is a private video, not viewable.

I saw that too, but also noticed that they have an order form with just one price for the Outlander and that they want a 50% deposit. I wonder if they have the product and haven't made the website reflect that or they don't yet have the product.

I was doing some research into the Outlander. I see that in the 2018 Outlander’s owner’s manual that on page 2-11 it says that the “BATTERY TOO COLD” may be displayed on the multi information display at temperatures of -30°C or colder. Could it be that when you returned from Mexico in previous...

Is your car parked outside? If so, maybe you want to leave it plugged in so that the traction battery doesn't get too cold to start.

Did your Outlander come with an electric heater? If so, which model is it, and which year?
