What 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 owners say

Electrical system

A un ao de comprado totalmente nuevo el vehculo estaba en marcha cuando me tocaba frenar no s detuvo el auto. Y tuve que utilzar la emergencia. Sin contar que los pads no le duran ni 7 meses. Los gasta bien rpido. Por otro lado, desde antes del cumplir el ao; el vehculo me ha dejado a pies. Pues entiendo que la batera debe tener un defecto de fabricacin. Ya son 4 las veces (incluyendo el da de hoy) que he solicitado asistencia por este motivo. Y en ninguna de las ocasiones se ha dejado luces prendidas para que yo tenga problemas con la batera. Y cabe destacar que el carro lleva todo el mantenimiento al da. Y cunto con toda la evidencia.
