Awesome!! On the oil changes!! It's really wise being on top of the importance of taking care of your life line of your car. That a lot of people neglect. Then they wonder why the car doesn't last very long. But with that kind of oil,it's not like regular oil where you change it every 3 thousand miles. The oil in the Mirage is a better oil. I only changed mine at three thousand miles was Frist time when my Mirage and Outlander was Brand New. After that I wait at least every 5 thousand to change it. But your to be proud of for staying on top of taking care of it.

I've had to bring my Mirage in because I started to notice the blower for the climate control was making this whining noise at low speeds when it used to be dead silent when I first got it, thought I would have to fight with the service department to get it done but he heard it too and said "I don't like the sound of that" and had a new blower motor ordered but it's back ordered and won't be in until the end of December but love that warranty!! Just hit $16,000 miles and that has been my only issue so far.

I guess I should post here more often. I bought my 5 speed Mirage November 2014. It's a 2014 model and I've got 140,000 miles on it so far.
The only problem I've had is the tpms. One of the sensors broke inside a tire about 40,000 miles ago. I had the sensor replaced but the tire shop I was at wasn't able to reprogram it because of an issue with their programmer.
I'll get around to getting it reprogrammed some day.

My engine has been doing this too for 2yrs and 25k miles or so. Best way I can describe it is marbles rattling around in the engine for a couple seconds after a cold startup. The longer the car has been sitting, the louder and longer it rattles (for up to 2sec). It sounds terrible and has me concerned it's damaging the engine. Has anyone had their dealership address this? What was their solution, if any?
I want to take Kermit to the dealer within the next 12 months before the bumper to bumper warranty runs out to address this, as well as the defective rear axle issue, and an annoying bucking upon acceleration from a stop with the AC on. It doesn't seem to buck with the AC off. Since I live in FL, the AC is on pretty much 8 months a year, so it's very annoying.

I have the same bucking with the ac. It acts like the engine just doesn't have enough power to run the car and the ac at the same time. If I have a line of cars behind me, or I'm going up a steep incline when starting off, I just kill the ac until I'm up to speed. Kinda annoying, but it works. Please let us know if you find out anything. My car doesn't have any warranty, as it was a salvage vehicle, so any repairs will have to be done by me. Luckily, safety recalls are still covered.
