$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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

My vehicle was due for servicing a couple weeks ago. I don't really want to bring it in right now, as we are all supposed to stay home other than for essential reasons (eg groceries or medical). Plus I don't really want people in my car who may have touched potentially unclean surfaces on...

What are your pet peeves on the controls of the car? Mine are: 1. the location of the EV, Charge and Save buttons. Why couldn't they all be the same button and in a better location? 2. the windshield defrost. The fan always starts up at high speed. I turn it down, but the next time I turn on...

Perhaps my previous vehicles were all more sensitive, but I'm finding that the turn signal on my Outlander PHEV often doesn't return to the default position after changing lanes or some turns. I generally don't notice for some time, so I look like a total dweeb driving for blocks with my turn...

On my other car I can play videos and listen to the music through the speakers. I can't figure out how to do this on my Outlander. Don't worry, I have no interest of watching the videos. I only want to listen to them through the car speakers, not from the phone. Is this even possible?

I've had my Outlander PHEV for one month almost to the exact day, when I finally decided to fill my tank for the first time since the initial purchase. It was at 1800km and still had about a quarter tank remaining according to the gauge. My fillup was 29.27 litres. Cra-azy ! How's your...

We know frequent quick charging is bad for the battery, but what constitutes 'frequent'? I charge with Level 1 charger nightly; with Level 2 usually two-three times per week; and with Level 3 quick charger about once or maybe twice per week.

I know the Outlander has fixed point braces on the rails. I'm looking at buying the crossbars, either the Mitsubishi ones or Thule (which might be the same thing anyway). However these run about $750 CAD. I'm curious if anyone has generic crossbars that clamp on (not to the fixed points), and...

This may seem like a dumb question, but here goes anyway: On this vehicle, when it's using gasoline: is the gasoline engine powering the vehicle? Or is the gasoline engine powering the electric motors which are powering the vehicle?

Hi everyone! Just picked up my Outlander PHEV three days ago, and loving it! I have a question, does anyone here have experience with hitches and bike racks on your PHEV? I see online it's rated as 1500 lbs tow weight and 150 lbs tongue weight. However the weight of my rack plus bikes is...
