The 2015 MitsubishiMirage has received numerous complaints from owners, causing some official review sites to label it as the worst model year and make for the manufacturer. Specifically, the Mirage is known for brake failure and doors that come off. Owners have reported replacing the brakes multiple times within 2 years and under 35,000 miles. Additionally, at the same mileage, door hinges are seen to deteriorate, risking panels falling off when opening or closing the doors. Criticism of the Mirage extends to its CVT transmission, with owners experiencing complete breakdowns after just two years. Issues like hesitant shifting, slippage, and harsh gear movement are common, leading to a significant power loss when driving uphill or trying to accelerate quickly. This has left drivers feeling unsafe on highways and in fast-moving traffic.
In 2015, some drivers of the Mitsubishi Mirage with CVT transmission experienced issues like slipping gears and having trouble shifting altogether. These problems may lead to the need for transmission replacement or repairs.
What's the fix for OBD II CODE P2859 appearing on a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage?
With 158,000 miles and still running smoothly, it's all about properly maintaining and changing the engine and transmission oil.
In 2015, a hatchback was bought with 56,000 miles on it. All fluids were replaced at 62,000 miles, and at 92,000 miles, the pan and cooler filters were changed. The next fluid exchange is due at 122,000 miles. The car experienced stalling while driving, and the diagnostic code indicated that Transmission Solenoid C is stuck closed (code P0796). There are also additional codes P1590 for a TCM-ECM error, possibly linked to the solenoid issue, and P-137 for a downstream oxygen sensor or exhaust leak (cabin smells like exhaust when idling). Do you know where Solenoid C is located?
