In December 2016 purchased 3rd set of brand new tires due to excessive wear and tear. Was told rear suspension/axle welded in, and at an angle, causing excessive wear and tear on tires, even with regular rotations. A second dealer/service station has confirmed during an oil change this with the Mirages being a design flaw.

The car does not handle well when going around bends, it wants to pull you off the road. It has been found that many of these cars like mine have a very bad alignment problem on the rear axle witch is not adjustable.

Had an independant alignment done. Found rear out of spec. Took to Mitsubishi about the issue. First alignment check cost me $160. Sheet said that it was out again. Dealership made me come back again to check one more time. Magically this time its "within" spec. So somehow Mitsubishi managed to change alignment numbers on an axle thats not adjustable.. my rear tires have only 15000 miles (20000 kms) and are very worn and beat from this axle. Its so bad you can actually see how much toe the right rear tire has. Unacceptable and this presents a danger to the stability of the vehicle!!! im from alberta Canada but this needs to be shared everywhere possible!!

Rear alignment outside specification, but not adjustable, as spindles are welded to the axle, making shim plate installation impossible. My vehicle showed excess toe-in and excess negative camber, creating tire wear and handling problems. On third visit to dealer, a new axle was installed, but this one is also outside specifications with cross camber in excess of 0.5 degrees, which will cause handling problems. Mitsubishi refuses to honor their warranty and repair this obvious defect. A very large number of Mirage owners report the same problems with no solution or help from Mitsubishi. A recall must be issued to replace all defective axles with parts that can be adjusted.
