When pressing the gas peddle you don't always move. You can move a few feet then coast in the middle of traffic. Had it stall on me a couple times. Took car to have it serviced numerous times and no one can figure out what's going on. It's an accident waiting to happen! Dont get a mirage!!!

This vehicle was bought as new on 05/03/2015. On 05/05/2015, after starting the vehicle, waiting for heat up, all the indicators of the instrument panel went on (service engine soon, ABS, traction control, tire pressure, etc.). Also the back light of the instrument panel began to blink, and a continuous beep sound or code could be heard. While this behavior occurred, the vehicle's RPM became unstable, as if the car was going to stall and turn off. After a few minutes I turned the vehicle off and back on again. The conditions did not repeat except for the service engine soon indicator. I used the car normally and the next day the ses indicator was off by itself. Diagnostic tool did not detect error codes. On 06/21/2015 the condition repeated again with the same pattern. The service centers have not made further verification of this issue. Also an inspector from mitsubishi considered it a minor issue since the vehicle's computer is not presenting codes. The safety concern is the risk that this behavior may occur in the middle of the road while driving.

My 16 year old daughter was driving her car late on friday night and it stalled out in a rural area. We had it towed to our mechanical and thinking it was the fuel pump. He informed me that the cam shaft had split. He said that this is very unusual. Upon further research I have learned that mitsubishi has been aware of the fact that with the mirage there can be a problem with stalling due to an engine shaft defect. When I called mitsubishi all they said was there were no recalls on that and because the car is a 1993 with 103,000 miles there is nothing they would do. I strongly feel this is a warranty issue no matter how old the car is or how many miles it has. This is not something that preventative maintenance or normal and routine care could have prevented. It is a serious material defect.
