Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Mirage?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your Mirage firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Mitsubishi Mirage making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mitsubishi Mirage engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Mitsubishi Mirage engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Mitsubishi Mirage radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your Mirage radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

What can cause the engine in my Mirage to suddenly stop?

If your Mirage car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
