05/05/2017 13,800 mi Crash ODI #10983690.0

I was stopped in traffic when I was rear ended by a driver doing approximately 50 MPH on a 3 lane parkway, which caused me to crash into the car right in front of me. The collision was violent enough to cause bruising on my bicep and upper thighs and knocked my hearing aids onto the dash. The airbag did not deploy and the seat belt inertial reel did not activate properly as my head was above the steering wheel when it finally caught. I do not know if the seatbelt reached the end of its length, or the inertial reel finally locked, but when it did stop me, the lap belt was on my upper things, the shoulder strap was down across my arm and stomach and my head was up over the steering wheel headed for the front window. I believe this exacerbated my lower back injury by causing a severe twis

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.

05/29/2019 40,000 mi ODI #11210714.0

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

This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. While driving on the Interstate, the ABS light and skid control lights come on, shortly after all lights and the radio go off and the vehicle loses power. No power even when flooring the gas petal. Getting over to the side of the road, you can turn off the engine, sit for a few minutes, then all is fine. Diagnostics have been run showing no problems. Heading to the dealer, if I make it today! 150,000 miles.

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!
