How do I make my Mirage air conditioning colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

What’s making my Mirage A/C put out warm air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

What causes A/C system leaks?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Mirage’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my Mirage rely on gas?

Your Mirage’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

Why does my Mirage have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C?

If the air conditioning in your Mirage smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.

Why does my Mirage’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Mirage may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Mitsubishi Mirage A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mitsubishi Mirage?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Mitsubishi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage A/C systems. Steer your Mitsubishi Mirage to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mitsubishi Mirage A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Mirage A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mitsubishi guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mitsubishi Mirage A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mitsubishi Mirage A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Mirage.
