2022 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER — Complaint #2160961
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD filed December 28, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2160961 (ODI reference 11707403) concerns a 2022 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER and was filed on December 28, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 6, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:hood, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER cohort independently describe similar structure:body:hood failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
This model of vehicle (2022) has a known hood flutter that cannot be repaired. It's possible the hood latch could fail and the hood will fly up/open while the vehicle is in motion. My vehicle registration acknowledges a recall but it is not for the hood flutter. I've done research and it is identified on the internet that dealerships know this hood issue exist.
