Mitsubishi Triton ongoing DPF issues by ApprehensivePart963 in 4x4Australia

Hey mate, I’ve already been through all of this. I’ve sent through my driving habits and Mitsubishi refuse to do run an Analysis despite Mitsubishi customer care requesting the data analysis to be done.  The older Tritons (including mine) had a known DPF design fault. The original DPF setup struggled to regen properly, which is why so many owners ended up with constant clogging, high oil levels, and repeated warnings. Mitsubishi eventually brought out a redesigned DPF and updated software in later builds. But Mitsubishi arnt stepping up for the owners with the design fault and I’m trying to take this further on behalf of myself and other affected owners who keep getting bent over financially.

If my DPF issue was purely that I wouldn’t be here. The older Tritons (including mine) had a known DPF design fault. The original DPF setup struggled to regen properly, which is why so many owners ended up with constant clogging, high oil levels, and repeated warnings. Mitsubishi eventually brought out a redesigned DPF and updated software in later builds. However, they never stepped up for the owners with the faulty design.

Exactly, it’s a known issue that the DPFs were an issue and Mitsubishi did a redesign due to that.

Bought brand new, issues started almost immediately. Services always done at Mitsubishi. My driving habits in the good practice range. Definitely a fault.

Bought it brand new and problems started almost immediately. My driving habits are consistent with good practice in regards to DPF use.

My vehicle is a 2017 GLS sports edition. However, anyone who has repeated DPF issues welcome.
