Air Bags › Air Bag/Restraint Control Module19V330000
Filed Apr 26, 201926,016 vehiclesMitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Defect. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Mirage G4 vehicles. The internal acceleration sensor in the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can misinterpret vibrations, such as from poor road conditions or a flat tire, as a malfunction and disable all the vehicle's air bags.
Risk. Air bags that do not deploy increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Remedy. MMNA notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began May 24, 2019. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-19-001.

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

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
