In owners' words
Complaint narratives as filed with NHTSA, trimmed for length.
-
I have a 2017 mitsubishi mirage g4 and the car has lost total power. This vehicle is only 3 years old and completely broke down.
-
The radio glitches and works when it wants to. The engine clicks before starting, 4-5 clicks and turns over. Electrical issues all over from cutting back of fuel from turning on a/c to rolling down the windows.
-
My passenger front wheel came off the vehicle because the control arm cracked and broke. There was no damage to the vehicle with no collision’s.
How to read this page
Every figure comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public complaint database, which holds every safety-related defect complaint filed by owners since 1995. We refresh it monthly and count each complaint once per component it names. Data through September 6, 2026.
NHTSA only accepts safety-related complaints. Rattles, paint, infotainment bugs and other annoyances are under-reported here, so this page is a map of what fails in ways owners consider dangerous, not a full reliability score.
Counts are raw. Use the year-over-year shape and the component mix, not the absolute numbers. Where a component maps to parts we stock, the row links to that category filtered to the year you are viewing. Air bag and seat belt complaints link to the recall checker instead, because those repairs are almost always covered.
