THE WIRES IN THE REAR NEAR FUEL PUMP HAVE DEGRADED CAUSING THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE.. UPON INSPECTION THE WIRES ARE FRAYED AND POSSIBLE FIRE HAZAARD AS ITS AT THE FUEL PUMP I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON 2017-2023 MODELS INCLUDING THE G4 AND HATCHBACK. THE KEEP SAYING ITS MICE BUT IT IS A SEALED AREA AND NO POOP OR OTHER DAMAGE
- Air bagsCrash1 injury
On [XXX], I was traveling back to Colorado from Missouri. The weather conditions turned poor while I was traveling just west of Topeka, Kansas. I lowered my speed to below the speed limit and continued. At one point, the car lost control. At this time, it veered to left and hit hard against median. Smashing the driver side front end substantially. Airbags did not deploy at this time. My head smashed into the frame to the left of the steering wheel concussing me. (Diagnosed later by an ER Doctor, notes provided in upload) After hitting on the left median, the car then bounced across both lanes of the highway and smashed the concrete median of an overpass. On this second collision the airbags…

- Suspension
So after my car at about 2,000 miles on it my front strut mounts gave out I had them inspected and was told that they were bad the car was practically brand new I was having a lot of noise coming from the front end and I noticed that my car took a lot longer to brake than it should. And I believe that this is a safety concern because it shouldn't be going out that soon and the increased breaking distance associated with it increases the risk of accidents. And the strut mounts should not be bad from that early on. Also another problem that my vehicle has had that I haven't gotten diagnosed yet is there is a popping sound coming from the transaxle where the axle goes into the transmission and…

My 2019 mirage kept shutting off at random times. Although it started right back at first now it won't start at all. I was driving and with no warning my car shuts off and I'm on a pretty busy highway and I have to steer it off the road traffic flying by me. My so 2 years is in the car as well and his safety as mine was put in jeopardy and is something that needs to be fixed right away. And needs to be first on recall list.
