Outlander's Mystery Vibration: Engine Mount Troubles?

Hey there! I had a very similar issue with my 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross . The engine vibration was driving me nuts! Turned out it was indeed the engine mount connector that was faulty. Took it to my local Mitsubishi dealer, and they found a damaged cable on the engine mount system. They replaced the connector and recalibrated everything, problem solved! Cost me around 165€, and it was worth every penny. The vibrations completely disappeared. What's your mileage and have you noticed if the vibration gets worse during specific conditions (like idle or acceleration)? This info could help confirm if it's the same issue I had.

Thanks for sharing your experience! My Outlander just hit 129594 KM and I had its latest service about a month ago. The vibration is definitely more noticeable when I'm idling at traffic lights, and it seems to smooth out a bit when I'm cruising at highway speeds. I'll check with my dealer about that connector, your solution sounds pretty spot on for what I'm experiencing. It's reassuring to hear it was a straightforward fix in your case!

Hey again! Yeah, those symptoms you're describing sound exactly like what I experienced with my Eclipse Cross. Mine had about 95000 KM when the issue started, and that idle vibration was super annoying, especially during those long waits at traffic lights! Just a heads up, when I took mine in, I mentioned specifically about the idle vibration smoothing out at higher speeds, and that helped the techs diagnose it faster. Since you've had a recent service, maybe check if they noticed anything unusual with the mount during the inspection? Sometimes these issues can develop pretty quickly. My fix has held up great for the past year now, no vibrations whatsoever. While you're at the dealer, might be worth having them check the vacuum lines too. My mechanic mentioned they can sometimes contribute to the problem, though in my case it was just the connector. Let me know how it goes when you get it checked out! Always good to hear if it's the same fix or something different. These Mitsubishis are generally solid cars, but they do have their quirks sometimes!

Thanks so much for all the detailed info! It's super helpful to know about the vacuum lines too, I'll definitely mention both that and the connector when I take it in. You're right about these cars being solid; this is actually my first real issue with it since I bought it. I've already called my dealer and got an appointment for next Tuesday morning. I'll update the thread once I know what they find, but based on what you've shared, I'm pretty confident we're looking at the same issue. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it's made me feel a lot better about getting this sorted!
