What owners wrote
On april 18, 2014 only 2 months after purchasing their brand new 2014 mitsubishi mirage my parents were hit head on after a person swerved into their lane. Speed was not a factor, the investigation is still under way, and we still don't know why they both died (driver with massive head trauma including a broken jaw, passenger with massive abdominal trauma.) there will be an autopsy on both vehicles, but the driver of the other vehicle walked away with a broken leg and heel. Why?
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 mitsubishi mirage. The contact's vehicle was rear ended while at a stop. As a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into the preceding vehicle. The front air bags failed to deploy. The contact, driver, and rear and front passengers suffered injuries to the head and neck. A police report was filed. Medical attention was received. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for further inspection. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.
