MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS SHAKING ON THE ARMS, LIGHTS GOING OFF ESP. DURING WET WEATHER, AND CORROSION IS EXTREME. MY BRAKES CUT ON AND OFF - THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JUNE, 2017.
THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE (POSTED SPEED LIMIT WAS 65 IN THIS AREA) WHEN IT WAS BLOWN BY A STRONG GUST OF WIND ACROSS SOME LOSE SNOW/SLUSH. AS THE VEHICLE SLID, THE DRIVER LET OFF THE GAS AND THE SPEED WAS SLOWLY DROPPING BELOW 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE RIGHT-HAND SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE INTO A DITCH, WHERE IT ROLLED, LANDING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ROOF OF, AND DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, BEFORE LANDING BACK UPRIGHT ON THE WHEELS AND CEASING TO ROLL ANY FURTHER. AT NO POINT DURING THE ROLLOVER AS A RESULT OF IMPACT DID ANY OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS WEARING A SEATBELT. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS LOADED WITH LUGGAGE HEAVY ENOUGH THAT THE SEATBELT LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE WAS PROMPTING FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT TO BE USED.

ON APRIL 18, 2014 ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THEIR BRAND NEW 2014 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE MY PARENTS WERE HIT HEAD ON AFTER A PERSON SWERVED INTO THEIR LANE. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR, THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL UNDER WAY, AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHY THEY BOTH DIED (DRIVER WITH MASSIVE HEAD TRAUMA INCLUDING A BROKEN JAW, PASSENGER WITH MASSIVE ABDOMINAL TRAUMA.) THERE WILL BE AN AUTOPSY ON BOTH VEHICLES, BUT THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WALKED AWAY WITH A BROKEN LEG AND HEEL. WHY? I HAVE LOOKED LONG AND HARD AT THIS NEW MITSUBUSHI AND I AM WONDERING WHY THEIR NEW SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY KEEP THEM IN A STEEL CELL DURING AN ACCIDENT WAS COMPROMISED. *TR
