“I’ve been having multiple problems since I bought this 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 LE. First, my front brakes went out and I had problems with a serpentine belt not even a year and a half later after buying the car I took it to the dealership. They said there was nothing wrong with it. Let me leave with no brake pads and a squealing belt.. thank God I had an sense to have my husband check it and he replaced the belt and the brakes still that didn’t fix the brake problems. We have had brake problems since we bought car which I can prove that we’ve had to change our brakes every almost every 3 to 6 months that is the front brakes. I also replaced the back brake six months ago. I replaced the car with two sets of tires that are supposed to last for 60,000 miles. I have only put 54,682 miles on my car. My husband works four minutes away. I used to drive my car back-and-forth to work and that was 45 minutes one way For about a year, but other than that we have not drove the car except for a few times maybe three hours away for vacation we’ve also changed the spark plugs. This will be the second time we changed the serpentine belt. We’ve changed the air filter multiple…”

Electrical system

2 reports
“Vehicle is available for inspection. Soon after I bought this car last April I realized it's VERY difficult to see how fast I am going in certain areas that are shadowed, especially on cloudy/overcast days. I have the lights set as bright as they will go but when I get in darker areas during the day I can just barely make out the tips to the 50/60 mph marks and a lot of times when it's cloudy overcast and I get in a darker spot I can't even SEE the tips of the 50/60 mph marks. Turning on the headlights doesn't help at all. I constantly have to "guess" what my speed is and that's a safety issue. I believe the problem stems from a combination of how far back the dash is set and the black cowl that protrudes out over the area. I think the area should be backlit like computer keys or somehow made to light up the way it does at night. I even tried to put some small LED lights in there but they were too dim to help. Another problem I have noticed with this car is that if I have my lights on I can't see my backup camera either, so if I want to back up in a parking garage or during a rainy day when I have my lights on, I first have to turn off my lights so I can use my backup camera.”
