AIR BAGS

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Mirage vehicles. The internal acceleration sensor in the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can misinterpret vibrations such as those from poor road conditions or a flat tire to be a sensor error thereby disabling the air bags from deploying in a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to September 2, 2015. If the driver enters an affected vehicle with their feet covered water and salt, it may soak through the carpet and cause corrosion to a wiring connector located in a junction box behind a kick panel to the left of the driver's footrest.

ENGINE

My car Vibrates drastically, can see it while im looking at the engine. I can feel it in the car from the floor all way up to my steering wheel. It can be made available for an inspection upon request. Im worried parts may break apart or engine fall out. I had a private mechanic look at it amd he verified the drastic vibration of the whole engine block. Only checked over by my private mechanic. I've always noticed it since I got it. Vibration has gotten worse over the years. No warning lights I've seen besides the one that has 2 wave like lines under an exclamation point.

AIR BAGS

Recall # SR-17-006 was repaired. It appears as open on website.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Vent Blower failure: Past 4 months on 4 occasions vent blower intermittently would not come on but would come back on after 15 to 30 minutes, approximately. The last 3 days of vehicle operation the vent blower motor does not come on at all with the first of 3 days the blower could be heard running at an extremely low speed. The vents at windshield and blower filter have remained free of obstruction and well maintained. The vent blower failure impacts safety to myself and others due to the inability to mitigating fogging on the windows which severely impacts visibility. The problem has not, as of yet, been addressed to my dealership/independent service center: Owner has extensive electronic & electrical background and is an expert troubleshooter. The harnesses at fuse panel and blower motor have been verified and appear proper and the fuse was not blown. I do not have a schematic of this electrical system and voltage at blower harness was not checked. (My thoughts on problem areas that may be impacting this safety concern whether it is an isolated case or widespread problem: Blower Motor - failed windings, thermal overload, bearings, and brushes/pitting as applicable. Vent Controller component failure. Wiring and harness issue.) I intend to bring this safety concern issue to manufacturer or dealership or independent service center as it is affordable. Symptoms: See first paragraph. The blower failure was 4 times at car start-up and once while driving.

Left side By manufacturer's warranty. on that side of the left side and also has a Wheel Bearing problem. on the left side it is making a very huge humming noise and they do not want to give me a guarantee because they indicate that I am the second owner. of the vehicle and therefore they only gave me a guarantee up to 30,000 miles I want to report that this is a vehicle defect.

SERVICE BRAKES

IN AUGUST 2020, THE BUS BEGAN TO LOCK THE LEFT CALIPER OF THE FRONT RUBBER, WHICH TOOK THE DEALER CABRERA HERMANOS IN ARECIBO PR. AND THEY DID NOT FIND THE NOISE BUT THEY DID NOT AND AT THE HOUR THE BUS CONTINUES TO LOCK THE LEFT CALIPER. THEY REPAIRED A LEFT REAR CYLINDER AT THE TIME.

WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

IN THE YEAR 2020 I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE BUT THEY DID NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN IN 2021 IN JANUARY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE RUBBER ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE IS STICKING, THE SHAFT IS OVERHEATING, A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT AXLE WHICH IS NOT CONSTANT. EVERYTHING INDICATES THAT THEY ARE LOCKING THE PAD AND THEY INDICATE THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT I HAVE TO PAY ALL THE EXPENSES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED AN EXCESS OF FUEL CONSUMPTION SINCE THE LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER CABRERA BROTHER HATILLO CONSUMES MORE GASOLINE THAN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA IT WAS TESTED BECAUSE THEY RUN THE SAME MILES SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE CONSUMES MORE GASOLINE THAN WHAT WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS . $ 20.00 OF GAS AT 64.7 A LITER FULL TANK CAN ONLY RUN 255.7 MILES. I HAVE CHECKED IT FOR 2 WEEKS IT CONSUMES A LOT OF GASOLINE MORE THAN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA

SERVICE BRAKES

WHEN HE RUNS, THE FRONT CALIPER KNOCKS ON THE BRAKE AND LEAVES THE NOISE IN THE TWO FRONT CALIPER AS IF SOMETHING WAS LOOSE IN FRONT, THE TIRES WERE REMOVED AND THE CALIPER IS THE PROBLEM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

I HAD TO MAKE COMPLETE SUDDEN STOP WHEN I HAD TO PUT ON THE BRAKES QUICKLY TO AVOID WRECK. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND WHEN I WENT TO START TO GO AGAIN IT DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER AND SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART IT. IF THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAN ITS NOT A GOOD ONE SINCE YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO GO IN THE FAST LANE. IT COULD OF RESULTED IN SOMEBODY TO WRECK IN THE BACK OF ME. I HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER RESETTING AS RESULT OF I BELIEVE SPEED CONTROL ISSUE OR WHATEVER THE LAST RECALL WAS. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AT A DECENT SPEED WHEN I MADE SUDDEN STOP.
