Owner-reported complaints naming the brake system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Brakes reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

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.
