Phoenix is demanding on a Mitsubishi Mirage. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Mitsubishi Mirage problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
Most Common Mitsubishi Mirage Problems in Phoenix
Ranked by owner complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the Mirage. Counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected.
1. Air Bags
46 NHTSA owner complaints for the Mirage mention airbags and seat belts (33% of 136 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Airbag or SRS warning light
- Seat belt that will not latch or retract
- Open safety recall notices
- Seat or restraint warning messages
What we do: Airbag and restraint issues are often tied to open safety recalls, which are repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to you. Check your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup first, and we can help with related warning lights and diagnostics. See our auto repair page.
2. Service Brakes
25 NHTSA owner complaints for the Mirage mention brakes (18% of 136 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Squealing, grinding or scraping when you stop
- A soft or sinking brake pedal
- Steering wheel shake or pulling under braking
- Brake warning light
What we do: Brake complaints turn up on nearly every vehicle, and Phoenix stop-and-go traffic wears brake parts quickly. We measure pads and rotors, check calipers and fluid, and replace only what is worn. See our brake repair page.
3. Engine
15 NHTSA owner complaints for the Mirage mention the engine and cooling system (11% of 136 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Check engine light or rough idle
- Overheating or coolant smell
- Loss of power or poor mileage
- Oil leaks or low oil
What we do: Engine and cooling complaints are best caught early in Phoenix, where heat pushes cooling systems and engine oil to their limits. We diagnose warning lights and check coolant, hoses and oil condition. See our check engine light diagnostics and oil change & maintenance pages.
4. Electrical System
14 NHTSA owner complaints for the Mirage mention the electrical system (10% of 136 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Slow cranking or clicking when starting
- Dim or flickering lights
- Battery or charging warning light
- Random electrical glitches and dead accessories
What we do: Electrical problems are made worse by desert heat, which ages batteries, cables and connectors. We test the battery, starter and charging system and trace faults to the actual part. See our battery replacement and starter & alternator repair pages.
5. Vehicle Speed Control
13 NHTSA owner complaints for the Mirage mention vehicle speed control (throttle and cruise control) (9% of 136 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Cruise control that will not set or cancels
- Unusual throttle response
- Check engine light
- Hesitation or surging when accelerating
What we do: Speed control complaints involve the throttle, cruise control and related sensors. We scan for stored codes and test the throttle system and sensors to find the actual cause instead of guessing. See our check engine light diagnostics and auto repair pages.
Mitsubishi Mirage Maintenance in Phoenix Heat
- Test the Mirage battery before every summer, and replace it proactively around the 3-year mark
- Follow the severe-service schedule for oil and fluids, since Phoenix heat and traffic count as severe use
- Inspect Mirage brakes and tires twice a year; heat and stop-and-go driving wear both quickly
- Check coolant level and condition, and inspect belts and hoses for cracking
- Service the A/C early; a weak system rarely fixes itself
- Replace wiper blades and check lights, since sun destroys rubber and plastics
