The 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 has been having long issues with swaying when going over 60 mph. I kept bringing it back to the Mitsubishi dealership and complaining but they kept saying they could not replicate the problem. One day on the highway, a few years after constantly complaining the right front tire made a sound and the whole car swayed to the left almost flipping over. Luckily I maneuvered off the highway into a grassy area on the side of the shoulder. Several cars avoided colliding with me. Even after the almost fatal incident and being towed, the dealership claimed the issue could not be replicated. Now out of nowhere, for a paint issue while the car was in the shop they determined they found the issue and it has to do with the sway bar and rear axle, and want to charge me $3,700.00

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.

THE SRS SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SIMILAR ISSUE. I MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND TAKEN TO THE SHOP WHEN NEED BE. WHEN THE SRS SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD JUST STARTED MY CAR AND THE LIGHT REFUSED TO TURN OFF.

I WAS IN ACCIDENT WHERE MY FRONT IT BUCKLED AND REAR END IT COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND NO AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I WAS STOPPED AND HIT FROM BEHIND AT 45 MILES PER HOUR AND PUSHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET IN DAMP CONDITIONS

ON NOVEMBER 18, 2019 I WAS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, HITTING A BUCK GOING 60 MILES AND HOUR, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEATBELT FAILED TO LOCK ON IMPACT.

WHEN HAVING TO BRAKE WITH ANY SUDDENNESS AT ALL, I MET TWO EXTREMES. THEY EITHER ENGAGED SO ABRUPTLY EVERYTHING WAS THROWN FORWARD, OR THEY FAILED TO ENGAGE ENOUGH. SUDDEN- I DESCRIBE THIS TYPE OF BRAKING AS WHEN BEING CUT IN FRONT OF. THE NECESSITY TO BRAKE IN THIS MANNER WOULD THROW MY DOGS AND BELONGINGS INTO THE FLOOR. IT HAPPENED FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION. IT SEEMED IRREGULAR TO ME. EXTREME- #1: I ENCOUNTERED A PILE-UP OF TRAFFIC UNEXPECTEDLY AND OUTSIDE OF THE USUAL SLOWING AREAS FOR THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. THE CAR DID NOT SLOW SUFFICIENTLY. THE DOGS WERE NOT THROWN TO THE FLOOR. I AVOIDED COLLISION BY MOVING TO ANOTHER LANE. A TERRIFYING MOMENT, BUT THE BRAKES RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTIONS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. #2- AS I DROVE AROUND A MOUNTAINOUS BEND AND NEGOTIATED SOME TRAFFIC, I WAS FACED WITH A CAR AT A FULL STOP AT A PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK A SHORT DISTANCE AHEAD OF ME. I SLAMMED MY BRAKES. THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW ENOUGH. NOTHING WAS THROWN FORWARD UNTIL THE COLLISION. AS MY FOOT WAS FULLY PRESSING DOWN ON THEM, I QUESTION IF THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED UNDER EXTREME BRAKING AGAIN. NORMAL- (2000 MILES ON THE CAR)I APPROACHED A STOPLIGHT AT THE END OF A STEEP ROAD. THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND A MECHANICAL POP-LIKE SOUND. I LET OFF OF THEM THEN REAPPLIED SLOWLY SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED. THE SOUND REPEATED EVERY TIME I BRAKED. IT SOUNDED AS IF I CONTINUED TO BRAKE, THEY WOULD BREAK. THE NOISES DISSIPATED AFTER I CONTINUED. I REPORTED IT AT MY FIRST OIL CHANGE. HE SAID THEY WERE FINE. ON REVIEW AT THE SALVAGE LOT, THE BRAKES APPEAR NORMAL YET REMARKABLY SHINY AND UNUSED FOR 14,500 MILES. OTHER: THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THOUGH THE CAR TOTALED. THE DISPLAY WAS OFTEN IN FRENCH THOUGH ENGLISH WAS SELECTED. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE BRAKES ARE IN ANY WAY RUN BY THE COMPUTERIZED PART OF THE CAR SO I ADD THIS DETAIL.
