At a glance
- Next to the 2023
- At 43 complaints for each year on the road, the 2022 runs 3.7 times the 2023 (12). That's the only adjacent model year with enough complaints to set beside it.
- Top problem
- Two problems run close. Infotainment has 22 complaints and false collision warning has 18, out of 216 in all. Too few of the infotainment reports give a mileage to say when it starts.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 17 of the 216 complaints (8%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, a little above the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 14 reports mention a crash, 1 mentions a fire and 10 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 5 of 14, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- 7 recalls are on file, but no problem here has enough reports to set against them.
- When owners filed
- Filings jumped in 2022, with 74 complaints, 2.0 times the next busiest year. So far in 2026, 21 more have come in.

How this compares
216 complaints is 1.2 times the median 2022 model on this site and about the median for a 2022 SUV. Among the 2 Outlander model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
