What 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage owners say
Brakes
Takata recall. I purchased my Mirage in feb of this year, I noticed that after I had my car at a complete stop it felt like someone ran into the back of car, so I took the car in on March 28th and they said that it was a transmission malfunction so they had to replace the transmission. So after they replaced the transmission and I went and picked my car back up I noticed that the breaks felt like they weren't right, it felt like I had to press the break down so hard to get my car to come to a complete stop, so I then also noticed that when I did break my breaks started to make a weird noise. Now I don't know much about cars and this was my first vehicle and I at least know that I should not be having this many issues already, at this point I am very irritated and angry because I have to deal with all these problems. …
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

On 3/8/2018, my 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage was hit on the front driver side by a simi-truck going 50 or more miles per hour. Yet, my air bags did not deploy. I suffered significant injuries from this accident which could have been less severe, if my air bags deployed accordingly. I was not told when buying the car of any defects with the air bags or sensors. There is currently an open recall on the airbags still being researched. I found this out after searching for answers as to why my air bags didn't deploy. It was just put in around the time I bought my car.
