ON APRIL 18, 2014 ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THEIR BRAND NEW 2014 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE MY PARENTS WERE HIT HEAD ON AFTER A PERSON SWERVED INTO THEIR LANE. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR, THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL UNDER WAY, AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHY THEY BOTH DIED (DRIVER WITH MASSIVE HEAD TRAUMA INCLUDING A BROKEN JAW, PASSENGER WITH MASSIVE ABDOMINAL TRAUMA.) THERE WILL BE AN AUTOPSY ON BOTH VEHICLES, BUT THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WALKED AWAY WITH A BROKEN LEG AND HEEL. WHY? I HAVE LOOKED LONG AND HARD AT THIS NEW MITSUBUSHI AND I AM WONDERING WHY THEIR NEW SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY KEEP THEM IN A STEEL CELL DURING AN ACCIDENT WAS COMPROMISED. *TR

317V686000 · Air Bags
Oct 30, 2017
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Mirage vehicles. The internal acceleration sensor in the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can misinterpret vibrations such as those from poor road conditions or a flat tire to be a sensor error thereby disabling the air bags from deploying in a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Air bags that do not deploy as designed in a crash increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began on November 10, 2017. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-17-006.
15V815000 · Air Bags:frontal; Electrical System:wiring
Dec 4, 2015
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to September 2, 2015. If the driver enters an affected vehicle with their feet covered water and salt, it may soak through the carpet and cause corrosion to a wiring connector located in a junction box behind a kick panel to the left of the driver's footrest.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash, corrosion of the connector could delay deployment of the frontal air bags, increasing the risk of injury to the driver and the front seat passenger.
Remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the affected connectors, replacing any found to be corroded. A waterproof sheet will be installed over the connectors to prevent future corrosion. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in February 2016. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-16-001.

15V594000 · Air Bags
Sep 23, 2015
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to November 20, 2013, and 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles manufactured October 28, 2011, to September 7, 2012. Due to an increased resistance in the impact sensor for the air bag system, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the frontal, side and/or curtain air bags when the SRS warning is illuminated, the frontal air bag may have a delayed deployment and/or the side and curtian air bag may not deploy at all.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash, an air bag that does not deploy or deploys late, increases the risk of occupant injury.
Remedy: Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected impact sensors, free of charge. The recall began on November 5, 2015. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-15-011.
