    The type and tone of your documentation will make them smell courthouse. Hope we don't have to start taking it so far. Keep us posted.

Attachments referenced in letter include Post # 206, plus copy of service invoice for oil change/tire rotation, and a series of e-mails between dealer service department and me. Obviously, I will keep all concerned updated, but I expect no response for at least a month. Documents sent by good old snail mail with tracking number. Some information in letter "redacted" for privacy concerns. A CC of letter sent to US NHTSA.

    Thanks for the post . Hopefully Mitsubishi will see this and honor the issue . We won't be considering a Mirage ( Attrage ) sedan due to the rear axle . We also considered a '15 FIT . That too has had a few with the same problem .

    For the administrators: Wouldn't it be useful to make this thread sticky?

    Considering that Mitsubishi is basically selling some cars with such a serious defect and the impossibility for the user to fix it by their own means (money and difficulty). For prospective buyers this is definitely an issue to consider.

    Number of Mirage's that have alignment problems in this thread?

    Has anyone counted the number of users in this thread that have the same problem with their Mirages? I can go thru and count them myself I'm just curious if anyone had already done so. I'm curious as to how many 2014 & 2015 Mirages Mitsubishi has sold. I'm going to try and find the sales figures. Unless, anyone already has that info? Lol
    Thank you.
