Yes I was so pleased to get a letter a couple of weeks ago that they are extending the warrenty for coil springs on the '07 Outlander !!!! Wow .... talk about backing up their vehicle .I sent in copies of the reciepts as requested and waiting to hear back . As I said before ...best vehicle I have ever owned all through the years . No problems except for this , and they are fixing the problem .

 

Kburke,
They just accepted the claim for the one side which was replaced by Mitsubishi dealer. The another side I got the part from dealer but the dealer did't put the Vin on the receipt. This was rejected. I saw you got that replaced by local shop. Have your claim been refunded?
I have the new part on the car and the broken part in my garage. But they don't want to do anything to verify. Bad luck. Any suggestion?
Thanks.

 

I just had another coil spring break on my 2007 LS. First one broke a few years back and was covered within the bumper to bumper warranty. Since then I got a notice from Mitsubishi that the warranty on these Outlander coils is extended to 8 yrs/80K (which I'm still within.) Methinks its the typical Chinese parts quality crap metal thing. On my first coil spring break the car pulled hard to one side and they wouldn't let me drive home and I had to wait for the part to be Fedex'd in. This time one coil loop at the bottom broke and while it's not pulling it sounds loud occasionally over bumps and when cutting the wheel hard in a slow turn. I'm calling it in and waiting for the part to be available before going there.

 

It should be covered by the warranty. Call dealer and ask for the warranty. They should replace any parts affected by this broken coil spring.

 

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I'll share my experience all the same. I have an old Outlander 2007 (220.000 KM) and this week the coil spring from driver's side snaped just like described above.

I was leaving my parking spot and I first heard a poping sound coming from the front/left wheel, about 2km later I did a sharp turn to the right and this time a very loud noise came from the very same place. The next day I brought it to a garage and I has been confirmed the the coil spring snaped.

I live in Montreal/Canada, we get a LOT of snow here and there's always salt on the roads wherever you go. However it wasn't cold when it happened (18C). I can only believe this is due to corrosion/salt. A new pair will cost me $244 + taxes

 

might want to check wiht local dealership...there was a recall on them.

 

I checked the recalls database for this model/year and there's nothing related to coil springs, the only thing they did was to extend the warranty on this part to 8 years. Car has 10 years now.

 

oh, I think you are right, I seem to remember getting that notice and laughing as well as my mileage was way over their new limit. So far mine has been good, but I live in central US and I don't see as much salt as some others.

 

snapped spring guy checking in!

So left side snapped a couple weeks back. Then while waiting for the springs to arrive. The pass side snapped.

...two in one week. Not thrilled. But glad they were on order.

 

Where did you order them from?
