3 Service Brakes problem of the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage

Failure Date: 12/01/2020

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.

5 Service Brakes problem of the 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage

Failure Date: 08/04/2019

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.

6 Service Brakes problem of the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

I had to make complete sudden stop when I had to put on the brakes quickly to avoid wreck. I was in the fast lane and when I went to start to go again it didn't want to accelerate again. I had to pull over to shoulder and shut off car and restart it. If this is a safety feature than its not a good one since you need to be able to go in the fast lane. It could of resulted in somebody to wreck in the back of me. I have had the computer resetting as result of I believe speed control issue or whatever the last recall was. I was on the interstate going at a decent speed when I made sudden stop.

10 Service Brakes problem of the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage

Failure Date: 04/16/2016

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. This past Saturday 04/16/2016 I was driving home from philadelphia PA after visiting a friend and my breaks locked, I went to push the break pedal and it wouldnt go down, thank god that there was no ther vehickes infront of me because I would of hit some one, I only usemy car for work and to take my daughter to doctors appts, to go visit my dad and sister and also to the grocery store.

13 Service Brakes problem of the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage

Failure Date: 05/09/2015

I was traveling on a two lane road in my 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage, it had been raining and the roads were still damp. I was driving below the speed limit because I wanted to attempt to get the highest mpg possible on the mpg calculator on the dash. Suddenly, the truck in front of me slammed on breaks. It was at a distance that I should have not been worried about collision, but as soon as I hit the breaks in response, they failed. Everything happened so fast I don't know if my brakes locked up causing me to slide, or if they just did not activate at all. There were no skid marks on the road. I ended up going into oncoming traffic and hitting another vehicle head on. The impact flipped my Mirage multiple times and I landed sideways in a ditch. All airbags deployed. The driver and passenger of the other vehicle were injured and went to the hospital. I broke a rib and received some bad bruising from airbag and seatbelt, but refused to go to the hospital.
