“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.”Owner report · Engine · Apr 2023

“My airbag light in the dash is always lit. The dealer wants to charge $120 just to look at it. I'm seeing other people say that their car has the same problem and some have had accidents and their air bags are not deploying. Please investigate this.”Owner report · Air Bags · Jan 2018
“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.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Mar 2017
