ENGINE
My car Vibrates drastically, can see it while im looking at the engine. I can feel it in the car from the floor all way up to my steering wheel. It can be made available for an inspection upon request. Im worried parts may break apart or engine fall out. I had a private mechanic look at it amd he verified the drastic vibration of the whole engine block. Only checked over by my private mechanic. I've always noticed it since I got it. Vibration has gotten worse over the years. No warning lights I've seen besides the one that has 2 wave like lines under an exclamation point.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Vent Blower failure: Past 4 months on 4 occasions vent blower intermittently would not come on but would come back on after 15 to 30 minutes, approximately. The last 3 days of vehicle operation the vent blower motor does not come on at all with the first of 3 days the blower could be heard running at an extremely low speed. The vents at windshield and blower filter have remained free of obstruction and well maintained. The vent blower failure impacts safety to myself and others due to the inability to mitigating fogging on the windows which severely impacts visibility. The problem has not, as of yet, been addressed to my dealership/independent service center: Owner has extensive electronic & electrical background and is an expert troubleshooter. The harnesses at fuse panel and blower motor have been verified and appear proper and the fuse was not blown. I do not have a schematic of this electrical system and voltage at blower harness was not checked. (My thoughts on problem areas that may be impacting this safety concern whether it is an isolated case or widespread problem: Blower Motor - failed windings, thermal overload, bearings, and brushes/pitting as applicable. Vent Controller component failure. Wiring and harness issue.) I intend to bring this safety concern issue to manufacturer or dealership or independent service center as it is affordable. Symptoms: See first paragraph. The blower failure was 4 times at car start-up and once while driving.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, WHEELS
IN THE YEAR 2020 I TOOK IT FOR SERVICE BUT THEY DID NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN IN 2021 IN JANUARY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE RUBBER ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE IS STICKING, THE SHAFT IS OVERHEATING, A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT AXLE WHICH IS NOT CONSTANT. EVERYTHING INDICATES THAT THEY ARE LOCKING THE PAD AND THEY INDICATE THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT I HAVE TO PAY ALL THE EXPENSES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED AN EXCESS OF FUEL CONSUMPTION SINCE THE LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER CABRERA BROTHER HATILLO CONSUMES MORE GASOLINE THAN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA IT WAS TESTED BECAUSE THEY RUN THE SAME MILES SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE CONSUMES MORE GASOLINE THAN WHAT WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS . $ 20.00 OF GAS AT 64.7 A LITER FULL TANK CAN ONLY RUN 255.7 MILES. I HAVE CHECKED IT FOR 2 WEEKS IT CONSUMES A LOT OF GASOLINE MORE THAN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA

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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IS THERE A WIND STANDARD FOR VEHICLES ON HIGHWAYS? I KNOW WHENEVER THERE IS WIND ON INTERSTATE NO MATTER WHAT STRENGTH THIS VEHICLE STRUGGLES THROUGH IT. NOT SURE BODY IS DESIGNED PROPERLY FOR HIGHWAY WHERE THERE IS ALWAYS WIND. I'M HAVING HARD TIME KEEPING CONTROL OF IT AND KEEPING FROM ACCIDENT SINCE I'M BLOWN EASILY AWAY. ALSO IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHETHER WINDOWS OR DOWN OR NOT. CAR SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL CONDITIONS. I KNOW WIND IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH BUT THIS VEHICLE SEEMS VERY TOUGH TO HANDLE IN IT. I WAS DRIVING 1998 FORD TAURUS AND HIT WIND BUT DIDN'T HAVE THIS MUCH DIFFICULTY DRIVING IN WIND. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS A WIND SAFETY STANDARD ON VEHICLES AND IF NOT SHOULD THERE BE ONE. I KNOW I PUT TODAYS DATE ON WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WIND DANGER ON MANY DATES SINCE HAVING VEHICLE IN A MONTH AND A HALF.
