On January 9, 2026 I was involved in a frontal collision while driving my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The impact caused significant front-end damage, and the vehicle was subsequently deemed a total loss by the other driver’s insurance company.  None of the airbags deployed, including the driver and passenger frontal airbags. There were no airbag warning lights or system alerts illuminated prior to the collision.  A police report was filed for this incident. I was not injured; however, the other driver sustained injuries.  Given the severity of the frontal impact and the resulting damage, I believe the airbags should have deployed. This raises concerns regarding a potential defect or failure in the airbag system, crash sensors, or airbag control module.  I have photographs documenting the vehicle damage.    I am submitting this report so the incident can be reviewed for potential vehicle safety defects that may affect other vehicles.","canonical_url":"https://api.morvs.ai/vehicle-complaint/2170351"},{"cmplid":"2169009","date_received":"2026-01-22","make":"MITSUBISHI","model":"LANCER EVOLUTION","model_year":2003,"deaths":0,"injured":0,"fire":0,"crash":1,"component_desc":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","description":"My vehicle was clean title but then it was considered salvage title, it was involved in a car accident on 9/07/2023 . I never knew about the recall because I am not the first owner. how i found out about the recall was because I have to do brake and lamp inspection and it failed on 10/09/2024 so I took the vehicle to Hayward Mitsubishi on 10/15/2024 to get the recall fix and since then they have not contacted me in any way to give me an update I have called them several times and they told me that they have not received the label so I then decided to try a different dealership that's call Concord Kia Mitsubishi Service and Parts they tried to help me out but also mentioned to me that the recall has no part number so there is no way to order it.
