Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2017 Mirage vehicles manufactured October 28, 2015, to August 4, 2016 and equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps. The affected vehicles may have been assembled without the headlight horizontal adjustment lockout clips properly secured. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence: Without the horizontal adjustment locking clip being secured, the headlight can be adjusted to either reduce the driver's visibility or blind oncoming vehicles. Both conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will secure the horizontal locking clips as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 3, 2016. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-16-008.
Component: 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.
Consequence: Air bags that do not deploy as designed in a crash increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began on November 10, 2017. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-17-006.
I was involved in an accident which rendered my Mitsubishi Mirage a total loss. There was severe damage to the front driver's side of my vehicle. I am concerned because none of the air bags deployed. I was traveling at approximately 40 mph when a large pickup truck with a brush guard on the front ran a red light and collided with my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. The contact stated that after she took her sleep medication, she was unaware that she had gotten into her vehicle. The contact stated that while driving asleep at an undisclosed speed, she side-swiped two other parked vehicles, causing damage to the front end of her vehicle. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. She woke up after crashing into the other vehicles and called 911. No air bags deployed upon impact. A police report was filed. The contact sustained whiplash, a concussion, and bruising to her chest and collarbone. Medical attention was received. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard; however, the vehicle had not yet been inspected by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V330000 (Air Bags) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 147,000.
This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. While driving on the Interstate, the ABS light and skid control lights come on, shortly after all lights and the radio go off and the vehicle loses power. No power even when flooring the gas petal. Getting over to the side of the road, you can turn off the engine, sit for a few minutes, then all is fine. Diagnostics have been run showing no problems. Heading to the dealer, if I make it today! 150,000 miles.

The driver seatbelt doesn’t lock to where it unlocks while driving. Also brakes have to be replaced often then the power control sensor made the car go limp out of no where. The engine light didn’t come on til way later after the car wouldn’t work properly. This is all a hazard to the person driving bc of the car goes limp out of no where it can cause an accident bc it stops working like if it’s on neutral but in reality it’s in drive. Please help!! I don’t even know who can look at my car.
IN ON ABOUT 2018 DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR FAILED WITH WINDOW IN DOWN POSITION ON INTERSTATE IN THUNDERSTORM CAUSING LOW VISIBILITY AND RAIN AND SOME HAIL TO ENTER. DEALER CHANGED OR REPAIRED. THEN ABOUT 08/10/20 THE WINDOW MOTOR FAILED AGAIN. SOON AFTERWARDS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR FAILED CAUSING ELECTRICAL SMELL / SMOKE TO ENGULF CAR INTERIOR. I'VE TRIED MULITPLE TIMES FOR MITSUBISHI TO REPLY. TODAY,. A SPOKE PERSON TOLD ME I NEED TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. NOTE:.

I HAVE A 2017 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE G4 AND THE CAR HAS LOST TOTAL POWER. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN.
TWICE ABOUT 6 MONTHS APART DRIVING CITY SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE TO THE FLOOR, A QUICK PUMP AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD BUT IT SCARES YOU TO DEATH! NOTHING CAN BE FOUND WRONG AND ITS STILL UNDER WARRANTY?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE G4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.
THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING NO SIGNS INITIALLY THEN AS I ENTERED THE HWY, THE ENGINE LIGHT, BATTERY AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN IT STARTED BANGING LOUDLY AND PULLED OVER TO EXIT BUT THEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND DIED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HWY. I BARELY MADE IT OFF AND IT RESTED ON THE EXIT RAMP. I WAS FEARFUL AND SHOCKED AS I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS PREVIOUS TO THIS ISSUE. CAR WAS TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC, HE TURNED THE WORK DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS INTERNAL TO THE ENGINE. THEN IT WAS CONFIRMED BY FRANK LETA MITSUBISHI THAT IT WAS CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ENTERPRISE 02/09/2019 AS A SECOND OWNER WITH THEIR APPROVAL THAT IT WAS A GREAT CAR. IT IS NOT AND ALL SO ABRUPT!
AS FOR THE MOST PART I LOVE MY CAR BUT THE INTERIOR FOGS UP AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE . YOU CAN NOT DRIVE THIS CAR IF THE WIND IS BLOWING. IT'S HARD TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. NEVER! ACCIDENTALLY RUN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WILL ALMOST FLIP. SO I HAVE FOUND THAT DRIVING DEFENSE IS THE ONLY WAS TO DRIVE THE MIRAGE. ITS TIRESOME JUST TO GO GET GROCERIES. LOVE THE GAS MILEAGE. I SHOULD HAVE RESEARCHED THE CAR. I HAD AN ECLIPSE AND I LOVED IT. I GUESS I THOUGHT THE MIRAGE, BEING A MITSUBISHI WOULD HAVE KINDA THE SAME. NOT IN POWER BUT THE WAY IT DROVE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE G4. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT 20 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF HER VEHICLE AT A HIGH SPEED.

ON MAY 30TH THIS CAR WAS IN THE SHOP AT LA PORTE MITSUBISHI FOR ANOTHER ISSUE. THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE APRIL 29, 2019 RECALL ABOUT THE AIRBAG SENSOR. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OR CALL ABOUT THIS RECALL. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL FROM MY SON AND MYSELF LOOKING ON THIS SITE ABOUT IT.
I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD, OR AFTER AN ABRUPT POTHOLE, ALL ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES A RESET WILL START AND, EVEN THOUGH I'M STILL DRIVING, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS AND TEST WILL GO THROUGH THE CYCLE USUALLY RESERVED FOR WHEN I START THE CAR. IF I HAPPEN TO TURN OFF THE CAR WHILE IT IS IN THIS SORT OF OUTAGE, IT WILL REQUIRE A JUMP TO START. THE RADIO WILL FORGET ITS STATIONS, AND THE CLOCK WILL NEED TO HAVE THE TIME SET AGAIN. I HAVE TRIED MY OWN REMEDIES (LIKE JIGGLING THE FUSE BOX (WHICH DOES NOT SEEM WELL ATTACHED), AND WIGGLING WIRES) TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBELM WITH NO SUCCESS. MY PRIVATE MECHANIC SAYS THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS IN OTHER MIRAGES AND NEVER FOUND THE CAUSE. IT ONLY HAPPENS ABOUT A SECOND AFTER A LARGE BUMP OR HEAVY REPEATED VIBRATIONS. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED (FROM ENTERPRISE RENTALS), HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT A YEAR, AND IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK YOU DO. I HOPE THIS HELPS.
