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.
My vehicle's engine is shaking on the arms, lights going off esp. During wet weather, and corrosion is extreme. My brakes cut on and off - this has been happening since I purchased the car in june, 2017.
