Mirage

  • Automatic transmission

After buying the car, the first week, the transmission on several occasions would cut out. Took it to the appleway Mitsubishi repair center, and they could not find any problem with the transmission, yet on several occasions it still cuts out, usually right after leaving from a stopped position. The steering wheel and column have a definite vibration between the speed of 70 to 80 miles per hour, yet the repair facility said that they had test drove it at those speeds and informed me that it did not vibrate.
