About Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi has significantly reduced its US lineup following years of declining market share. The remaining models (Outlander, Eclipse Cross, Galant) are generally reliable but not class-leading.
Mitsubishi vehicles depreciate quickly and represent low-cost entry points. The brand's limited dealer network can make service challenging in some areas.
Popular Mitsubishi Models
Notable Mitsubishi Recalls
- ▲Mitsubishi Outlander Sport hood latch recall (2011–2016)
- ▲Mitsubishi Galant airbag recall (Takata, multiple years)
- ▲Mitsubishi Eclipse recall for fuel leak (2000–2005)
Known Mitsubishi Problems to Watch For
Mitsubishi uses CVT transmissions across most of its lineup. While generally more reliable than Nissan's CVT, check complaint history for shudder issues on high-mileage vehicles.
Older Mitsubishi Galant models have elevated rust complaints, particularly in rust-belt states.
