I'll ask how often the cabin is given a thorough cleaning? To get rid of salt in the carpets? Fummins, how about your fleet? Are they given a good carpet rinse after each winter to remove the salt? Or just left to dry out for the next winter? Are good quality winter mats in place or what?

Most cars are bad. Wet floors all winter. Use cheap rubber floor mats that rarely get emptied. I pulled the "carpet" from one car cause it was soaked from to back. Some get so bad the gas door release handle freezes to the floor. Some drivers are good and give a shat, emptying the mats out when there's a pond forming but others are so special they want me to put sandbags in the back for traction or install awd tires.

i had to drive across town this morning and there were no issues. i have a flipped over passenger side mat from another vehicle in place as a winter floor mat which is less than ideal. if i vaccumed the interior more than 3 times it would surprise me. as for salt, most places in this state use magnesium chloride to treat the roads or crushed red rocks and sand. water doesnt last very long out here if your not by it. this is pretty much the high desert.

Right on. I wonder what a high-end reader would tell you about your Mirage? Maybe you can talk your way into a free diagnostic at the dealer, or some other garage.

i dont doubt i could get it scanned correctly on tuesday before i go out of town. i will probably check the abs sensors and the wiring under the kick panel tomorrow since its supposed to be around 70° and sunny then cold again monday and tuesday.
Geezuz, it's a wonder every car doesn't have major intermittent connection issues. These Mirages are made better than I could ever imagine.
Does gender have anything to do with who are the whiners that expect everything done for them? Actually, this is a good time to ask what mix of gender the drivers are and which Mirages have fewer issues with a certain gender?

My Mirage has shuttered out and stalled out randomly a few times, mostly backing out of my driveway. But I would be getting yours looked at by a good mechanic. Real pain to live with your car like that sorry
