THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE PLACE OF PURCHASE, A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP, TO REPLACE THE BULBS WHICH AGAIN WENT OUT WITHIN 7 MONTHS. NEXT, THE BULBS WERE REPLACED AT THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP ONLY TO LOSE THEM AGAIN ON VEHICLE STARTUP 12 - 13 MONTHS LATER. I WAS LEFT WITH NO LIGHTS IN THE DARK AND SUBJECT TO GETTING TO AN AREA OF SAFETY WITH FAMILY IN THE CAR. I AM DILIGENT WITH PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE & REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS AN ISOLATED CONDITION WITH THE OEM BULBS AS THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL IN THE SAME MOMENT.
I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR (BOUGHT IT MARCH OF 2018 WITH ONLY 12,046 MILES). SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES ON THE DRIVER SIDE (WHICH IS CURRENTLY BLOWN NOW, WHICH WILL MAKE A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES ONCE I REPLACE IT). ONCE I REPLACE THE BULB ONE SIDE, THE BULB GOES OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE ABOUT A WEEK LATER. A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE THOUGHT A BULB WOULD GO OUT, AND IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. I WAS ADVISED THAT MAYBE IT WAS CONDENSATION, BUT THERE IS NO CONDENSATION. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING, MY RADIO CONSOLE TURNS OFF AND RESTARTS AS IF I AM JUST STARTING THE VEHICLE UP. AROUND THE TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, A HEADLIGHT BULB USUALLY BLOWS OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI, WHICH I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HEARD OF THIS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT UNDER MY OWN RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS WHERE OWNERS OF OUTLANDERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES.
