r/MitsubishiMirage

Yeah I know it's overdue...... By about 2 years. You can roast me now!

I bought this car about 6 months ago to replace my old BMW with a more fuel effencient commuter. Tought the mirage would be the perfect car, so I bought this 2014 manual transmission mirage with 175k km on it. I did the brakes and oil change when I got it, and it was fine. Drove it for a few days for like 300-400km and a rear bearing started to do some noise. Replaced the bearing, while it was on the lift, I saw the front suspension started leaking some oil, so change that as well. Drove it for another 100km, then the transmission exploded.. Now I just finished rebuilding the transmission and when I was going to test drive it, the alternator seized.

How do you guys do with those cars?

Fo me I'm done, can't even drive the thing, it just keep breaking.. I'm going to sell this peice of shit and just keep my old 416 000km BMW

Anyone have any advice or help on how to fix this? I want to try to splice it and reconnect as cheap as possible but don’t know what kind of parts to use. Any advice would help! Thanks

Picked up 2024 mirage with 11,600 mi one owner, clean carfax for $13,700 including tax, title, fees I researched a ton, had to drive an hr and 45 minutes for it but felt it was worth it, has the "optional center console" and weathertechs from previous owner, happy to be a part of the group, and looking forward to add some mirage content. Coming from a 2017 corolla se with 66k miles, don't know why I switched, just wanted a small hatch lol.

I have a 2019 model and when I go on long drives (over two hours) I get a 3 beep warning through the stereo. There’s not any warning lights when this happens. Phones connected through CarPlay if that makes a difference? Does anyone have a clue what it might be?

Not as difficult as I expected.... But warm up the engine a bit so the old plugs are easier to remove.

I have 3 Mirages for my family!

Will these fit on the mirage since the transmission is a jf015E? These look visuall like they’d work as they both have long neck spouts I think?

Hi guys I just bought a mirage on Thursday. I'm not fluent in car language so I wanted to ask what these two panels on the dash meant. I would assume the first pic is when it was possibly last serviced? But I'm not sure what the 3 means? I bought this car at 35k miles and want to make it as properly maintained as possible. Also should I have someone check the CVT fluids right now or should I wait another 5-10k miles? Nothing out of the ordinary from this car so far

(no slipping or whining noises).

I just saw a guy cut the plastic cover, the screw holes were already there. He claimed the plug connector was already there. He literally cut the plastic where the fog light goes, put in new fog lights, put the screws in the screw holes, and plugged them into the harness which was already there (just taped up). He gets in the car and does a little dance with opening the door 5 times and reprograms the ETACS and they worked. Is this true? If I can add fog lights to the ES can I swap out the side mirrors with the SE version?

It sounds like a wheel bearing. Anything above like 10mph you hear it. And it gets louder with speed. I was worried its the cvt trans, but I was told if you throw it in neutral while driving and the sound goes away. Then its the trans. Well, the sound stays the same whether I throw it in neutral or not, any ideas?

It was flashing empty, picture was taken while fueling. Didn’t get a full tank so not sure how empty it was
