The 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 has been having long issues with swaying when going over 60 mph. I kept bringing it back to the Mitsubishi dealership and complaining but they kept saying they could not replicate the problem. One day on the highway, a few years after constantly complaining the right front tire made a sound and the whole car swayed to the left almost flipping over. Luckily I maneuvered off the highway into a grassy area on the side of the shoulder. Several cars avoided colliding with me. Even after the almost fatal incident and being towed, the dealership claimed the issue could not be replicated. Now out of nowhere, for a paint issue while the car was in the shop they determined they found the issue and it has to do with the sway bar and rear axle, and want to charge me $3,700.00

A UN AO DE COMPRADO TOTALMENTE NUEVO EL VEHCULO ESTABA EN MARCHA CUANDO ME TOCABA FRENAR NO S DETUVO EL AUTO. Y TUVE QUE UTILZAR LA EMERGENCIA. SIN CONTAR QUE LOS PADS NO LE DURAN NI 7 MESES. LOS GASTA BIEN RPIDO. POR OTRO LADO, DESDE ANTES DEL CUMPLIR EL AO; EL VEHCULO ME HA DEJADO A PIES. PUES ENTIENDO QUE LA BATERA DEBE TENER UN DEFECTO DE FABRICACIN. YA SON 4 LAS VECES (INCLUYENDO EL DA DE HOY) QUE HE SOLICITADO ASISTENCIA POR ESTE MOTIVO. Y EN NINGUNA DE LAS OCASIONES SE HA DEJADO LUCES PRENDIDAS PARA QUE YO TENGA PROBLEMAS CON LA BATERA. Y CABE DESTACAR QUE EL CARRO LLEVA TODO EL MANTENIMIENTO AL DA. Y CUNTO CON TODA LA EVIDENCIA.

I DONT UNDERSTAND NOTHING ABOUT RECALL
THE RADIO GLITCHES AND WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE ENGINE CLICKS BEFORE STARTING, 4-5 CLICKS AND TURNS OVER. ELECTRICAL ISSUES ALL OVER FROM CUTTING BACK OF FUEL FROM TURNING ON A/C TO ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOWS.
WHEN YOU PUT THE AC ON THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND IT'S HARD TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE MAKES A LOT OF NOISE WHILE IT'S ON AND DRIVING. THE ELECTRICAL FEATURES GLITCHES ALL THE TIMES.
