2017 Mitsubishi Mirage Problems

I was involved in an accident which rendered my Mitsubishi Mirage a total loss. There was severe damage to the front driver's side of my vehicle. I am concerned because none of the air bags deployed. I was traveling at approximately 40 mph when a large pickup truck with a brush guard on the front ran a red light and collided with my vehicle.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MITSUBUSHI MIRAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD A CRASH. THE VEHICLE HIT A DEER DIRECTLY AT 55 MPH AND THE IMPACT PUSHED THE RADIATOR INTO THE ENGINE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH INJURIES TO HER NECK AND BACK. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED AT A BODY SHOP. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CHOOSE WHERE THEY COULD DETERMINE WHETHER IT WOULD BE FIXED OR TOTALED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

IN ON ABOUT 2018 DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR FAILED WITH WINDOW IN DOWN POSITION ON INTERSTATE IN THUNDERSTORM CAUSING LOW VISIBILITY AND RAIN AND SOME HAIL TO ENTER. DEALER CHANGED OR REPAIRED. THEN ABOUT 08/10/20 THE WINDOW MOTOR FAILED AGAIN. SOON AFTERWARDS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR FAILED CAUSING ELECTRICAL SMELL / SMOKE TO ENGULF CAR INTERIOR. I'VE TRIED MULITPLE TIMES FOR MITSUBISHI TO REPLY. TODAY,. A SPOKE PERSON TOLD ME I NEED TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. NOTE:. I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR ON DRIVER'S WINDOW WHEN PUSHING THE UP/ DOWN BUTTON.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD, OR AFTER AN ABRUPT POTHOLE, ALL ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES A RESET WILL START AND, EVEN THOUGH I'M STILL DRIVING, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS AND TEST WILL GO THROUGH THE CYCLE USUALLY RESERVED FOR WHEN I START THE CAR. IF I HAPPEN TO TURN OFF THE CAR WHILE IT IS IN THIS SORT OF OUTAGE, IT WILL REQUIRE A JUMP TO START. THE RADIO WILL FORGET ITS STATIONS, AND THE CLOCK WILL NEED TO HAVE THE TIME SET AGAIN. I HAVE TRIED MY OWN REMEDIES (LIKE JIGGLING THE FUSE BOX (WHICH DOES NOT SEEM WELL ATTACHED), AND WIGGLING WIRES) TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBELM WITH NO SUCCESS. MY PRIVATE MECHANIC SAYS THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS IN OTHER MIRAGES AND NEVER FOUND THE CAUSE. IT ONLY HAPPENS ABOUT A SECOND AFTER A LARGE BUMP OR HEAVY REPEATED VIBRATIONS. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED (FROM ENTERPRISE RENTALS), HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT A YEAR, AND IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK YOU DO. I HOPE THIS HELPS.

The driver seatbelt doesn’t lock to where it unlocks while driving. Also brakes have to be replaced often then the power control sensor made the car go limp out of no where. The engine light didn’t come on til way later after the car wouldn’t work properly. This is all a hazard to the person driving bc of the car goes limp out of no where it can cause an accident bc it stops working like if it’s on neutral but in reality it’s in drive. Please help!! I don’t even know who can look at my car.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK, HESITATE, AND STALL AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (HIGH POINT MITSUBISHI, 2411 NORTH MAIN ST., HIGH POINT, NC) WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING NO SIGNS INITIALLY THEN AS I ENTERED THE HWY, THE ENGINE LIGHT, BATTERY AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN IT STARTED BANGING LOUDLY AND PULLED OVER TO EXIT BUT THEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND DIED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HWY. I BARELY MADE IT OFF AND IT RESTED ON THE EXIT RAMP. I WAS FEARFUL AND SHOCKED AS I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS PREVIOUS TO THIS ISSUE. CAR WAS TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC, HE TURNED THE WORK DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS INTERNAL TO THE ENGINE. THEN IT WAS CONFIRMED BY FRANK LETA MITSUBISHI THAT IT WAS CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ENTERPRISE 02/09/2019 AS A SECOND OWNER WITH THEIR APPROVAL THAT IT WAS A GREAT CAR. IT IS NOT AND ALL SO ABRUPT!
