2015 Mitsubishi Mirage Airbags Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags 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.

ON 3/8/2018, MY 2015 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE WAS HIT ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BY A SIMI-TRUCK GOING 50 OR MORE MILES PER HOUR. YET, MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT INJURIES FROM THIS ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN LESS SEVERE, IF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ACCORDINGLY. I WAS NOT TOLD WHEN BUYING THE CAR OF ANY DEFECTS WITH THE AIR BAGS OR SENSORS. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS STILL BEING RESEARCHED. I FOUND THIS OUT AFTER SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS AS TO WHY MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. IT WAS JUST PUT IN AROUND THE TIME I BOUGHT MY CAR.

I HAD A CAR WRECK ON JUNE 10, 2016. I HIT AN SUV THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME, AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY ON INTIAL IMPACT. I HIT THE SUV, THEN HIT AN IMBANKMENT. WHEN I HIT THE IMBANKMENT, IT DEPLOYED. IT SHOULD HAVE COME OUT ON INTIAL IMPACT. THE IMPACT WS SO GREAT, I HIT MY HEAD ON WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED GLASS ABOVE STERRING WHEEL, EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. I HAVE PICTURES OF CAR, BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD THEM FOR SOME REASON. I CAN EMAIL THEM TO YOU IF YOU NEED ME TO.
