    Hi all-And THANK YOU!

    Hi everyone,
    I own a 2017 Mirage G4. First off-whomever wrote that FYI on the rear axle alignment-Thank you! I'm taking mine in Tuesday. The dealership tried to say it's not covered by the 60K / 5 Year warranty and I was able to point right to this and they said "We will see". Yep, we will see as they will pay for the replacement.

    I have 57K on my Mirage-Highway commute for the most part. it's a great little car-I love its rated 4.9 out of 5 on KBB but hated by the car reviewer snobs!

    Also if your looking for tires (Mirage G4 ES) Tirerack.com has good prices. I bought 4 new ones and shipped them to tire warehouse. Total installed was $397 for 4-Not the crap Enslaves either.

    That's great! Give yourself some credit for researching the issue and getting it to the dealer before your warranty expires (with 3,000 miles to spare!).

    Amazing that there are still dealers out there who don't seem to know about this issue.

    Personally, I think a lot of dealerships just play dumb to see if it works. "Whaaaaat? Defective axles? That's news to us!" What have they got to lose? Mitsubishi must have sent out some kind of TSB on this by now, right?

    What they will probably try to do now is 'run out the clock' since you are at 57k. They will fumble and bumble and dawdle and delay until you have 60,001 miles and then say, "Oh, wait...NOW we found the problem! It's the rear axle! But you are off warranty, so fixing it will cost $1,200. With that be cash, check, or card?"

    Don't say that. I have almost 57K on my car and I still need to go in for my "free" heater core...

    Belated welcome, sp103!

    57k on a 2017 - you really put on the miles.

    Keep us updated on the outcome with your dealership.
