The dominant pattern in 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 complaints centers on the airbag system, which accounts for more than half of all reports filed for this model year. Owners frequently describe airbag-related concerns, though the complaint set for this vehicle is small enough that detailed symptom patterns are limited. Outside of airbags, a handful of reports mention intermittent total power loss while driving, the engine and electronics cutting out without warning, with the vehicle recovering after being shut off and restarted. One isolated report describes the gear shifter failing to release from park. Interior fogging reducing visibility and the vehicle's sensitivity to crosswinds appear in single reports as well. The power-loss episodes, where ABS and stability warning lights precede a complete loss of drive power on the highway, represent the most consistently described mechanical symptom across multiple complaints.
