ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LOST OF ACCELERATION OR SUDDEN ACCELERATION, HELLO, I PURCHASED THIS MITSUBISHI MIRAGE 2017, AND I DROVE IT FOR 2000 MILES. I HAVE NOTICED THE LOST OF ACCELERATION OR SOMETIMES SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I AM REPORTING MY MITSUBISHI TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, AND I AM ASKING IF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE A TRIGGER FOR A RECALL ABOUT THIS CAR. I WANTED TO STOP FOR A STOP SIGN, BUT THE CAR DID A SUDDEN ACCELERATE, AND I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES HARD. I HAD 3 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, AND THE ACCELERATION WAS LOSING POWER, AND I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR VERY SLOW. BUT WHEN I DROPPED THE PASSENGERS, THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

AIR BAGS
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.
