Try to start it again. The first thing most tow truck drivers will do in this situation is try to start it.

Went out this morning gave it a little gas and it started up. No weird noises with the exhaust or anything so tuesday imma call mitsu and drive it there and have them look at it cause now im afraid im going to be out somewhere n get stuck. First time ive had any problems with the car im annoyed

You may want to just see if it happens again. This has happened to a couple of people before. Holding the accelerator pedal to the floor while cranking the engine seems to solve it on the rare occasions that it happens.

Even though the car is under warranty, they may not look at it for free...especially if they can't duplicate the condition. I'd hate to see you drop $100 just to have the service manager tell you they couldn't find anything wrong.

Just a heads up. Some things are not covered at all, headlight bulbs, wiper blades, and others I'm sure. Some are covered by Mitsu for a limited time or mileage, I'm sure the battery falls under that, and some are manufacturers warranty and not Mitsu covered like the tires.

ETA: Also, as mentioned, diagnostic charges are not covered usually unless a fault is found.

Since there are very few cases of failing to start that I could uncover it's safe to say it was a random event and we should consider ourselves lucky that Mitsu has acknowledged it and has a solution.

I would not worry about this at all, these little cars are proving themselves to be some of the most reliable cars on the market. In time they may have proven themselves as some of the most reliable small cars ever made. (Yes, that's a broad statement but there's very few complaints on the web for a 4 year old model car and the few that exist are not common. https://www.carcomplaints.com/Mitsubishi/Mirage/2015/ )
