Hello every one,

Pleasure use and only 2211 KM on it

Today in the morning started the engine and
there was the warning sign:

"Engine Malfunction, Power Reduced, Service NOW"

After restarting the engin second time in 2 min. - it disapired...
So I called the Mitsubishi servie and
They've told me that it is very serious
And you have to bring your vehicle for check up...
1.Is any one has the same problem ?
2. Hope some one knows how could it be happen with NEW vehicle?
Thanks in advance.

This happened to me today on my brand new outlander. I’ve noticed my display glitch out a few times as well. When I started it today I noticed it idling weird light rough or noisy, then this “infamous” warning came on the next time I started it and It seemed like it didn’t have good power either.. maybe it’s shitty performance was all just in my head but considering that i suspected it not idling normal before the warning message,.. Anyway I’m sorry I bought the dam thing so I will most likely get rid of it and go back to an American car.

That warning light i get often enough from kevins post. For me it was snow/ice covering the sensors meaning that feature isnt going to work when its covered, so dont expect it to. On the other note, its frustrating these issues are popping up. Im trying to get in to get my fuel pump recall fixed. The cold weather seems to make this vehicle chug gas, or its actually the fuel pump. Who knows?. I just want it to work the way it suppose to.

Hi everyone! I just had this same message, along with some collision avoidance amber warning lamps. I'm not driving it, as it says "service now". I am waiting to have a tow set up & am working with the dealership. From what they say, this could be due to a software update that is needed. Hope to update everyone soon.
2022 Outlander SE w/S-AWC
8670 miles
2 months since driving away from the dealership.

Anyone get an update from the dealer on this?

This afternoon we turned the car on and got this same Warning "Engine Malfunction, Power Reduced Service Now". We are at 9051 miles and have had the car for just over 1 year.
Ironically, we have a reservation with a service center for tomorrow already scheduled to fix the two recalls for the fuel pump received in March 2022 and for the Alliance In-Vehicle Infotainment (A-IVI) system to be reprogrammed from August 2022.

We will add this to the list, but am worried this is not safe to drive as the dealer is about 75 miles away.

Just got this message as well, 300ish miles on the Outlander. Because there is nothing mechanically wrong, no engine noise, valve noise, no CVT slip or issues I assume more than likely there is some CANBUS module not communicating correctly. I keep a code reader in the trunk, I'll see if there is any stored/pending codes tomorrow. I just pulled over, shut down the motor, opened the door twice to simulate exiting and entering the vehicle. In some CABNUS systems they flag when a driver enters and exist the vehicle, this can reset timers and things for module checks. Fired up, no warning, drove home just fine.

This is a new gen vehicle and its running A LOT of modules that have to constantly communicate with various control systems and small computers. If I have any pending codes I'll post here and also give the dealer an ear beating about it. More than likely there will be several flashes and software updates over then next 2 years to these vehicles.

If you get this warning, take a breath and think: Does your rpm hunt around? Do you have power if you step into the throttle? Did your engine suddenly get shakey and/or loud? Do you hear any whining noises? If you stop/start the engine does the error go away? Does it shudder/vibrate under light throttle? If no, then most likely just some dumb communication issue on the bus network.

Just happened to my 2023 Outlander and occurred after releasing the ignition switch too fast that it sounded like an engine stall. Happened before but it was a full engine stall when releasing the button too soon. I’m thinking it was just a rough start and not letting the starter give the engine its full power at startup. Will monitor and report back.

Happened to mine 2 days ago. Turned the car off then back on and it was fine. Took it into the dealership today to be looked at and they said there was a recall for that problem dealing with the onboard system. They still looked at the engine and found a loose wire. They fixed it and sent me on my way.

Some one stole my Converter on my 2017 Mitsubishi outlander sports. Took it to the dealer ans realized it's was a mistake. First they install an aftermarket Converter with out my knowledge. , my vehicle broke down in pa on the highway because the mesh they weld on the bottom of my vehicle ground on the oxygen sensor and blow the fuse and kill the vehicle. It cost me $978.00 to fix in pa . Took it back to Brooklyn dealer they give me back my money . The pa dealer told they installed aftermarket Converter .

I have a 2023 SEL that I’ve had for about 8 months now. I got this warning on a Wednesday and drove it to the dealership. They kept it for 2 days as the technician said it was throwing a lot of codes. Finally they said the last code was the battery, but there wasn’t anything wrong with the battery.
Picked it up and was told if the warning pops back up just bring it back. They were sending the report to warranty to have a paper trail as to what’s happening.
