Tl* the contact owned a 2016 mitsubishi outlander. While driving 35 MPH, the check engine, ABS, and temperature warning indicators illuminated.

On september 2019 around 10:45 pm, mitsubishi outlander sport 2016 was the cause of garage fire at my house. The fire started in the engine /battery area after I had tried to give a jump start a day before but the car did not start. Fire was mostly contained under the hood. Since 2016, the car was mostly garaged and sparingly driven and had very very low miles not enough to get first service if I recall correctly. The interior still smells fresh car.
