    Mitsubishi Outlander 2016: Possible electric issues?

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Outlander Mitsubishi Outlander Advice Mitsubishi Outlander 2016

    When I go to start my 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander there is a few seconds delay. They dealer is telling me this is normal, but is it? The power steering is also heavy, but they have told me there is nothing wrong. When I first got it the power steering dropped out, then came back. If you read the manual it states that if you use the car and drive around corners too many times this could affect the power steering, this happened within the first 3 weeks of having it.

    That all sounds like dealer speak for "I haven't got a clue what's wrong." There shouldn't be an undue delay in starting, the engine should crank immediately the key is turned of the starter pressed, and the engine should start within a couple of seconds. If it doesn't there is something wrong. The power steering shouldn't drop out, if it does as you say there is again something wrong. Take it back to your dealer and ask then to investigate the problems and fix them.
