In on about 2018 drivers side window motor failed with window in down position on interstate in thunderstorm causing low visibility and rain and some hail to enter. Dealer changed or repaired. Then about 08/10/20 the window motor failed again. Soon afterwards the front passenger side window motor failed causing electrical smell / smoke to engulf car interior. I've tried mulitple times for Mitsubishi to reply. Today, . a spoke person told me I need to take the car into the dealership for inspection. Note:. I can hear the motor on driver's window when pushing the up/ down button.

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.

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.
