Problem overview

Some Mitsubishi Mirage CVT owners report experiencing overheating issues, which may be attributed to several factors such as coolant leaks, radiator fan malfunctions, failed thermostats, or clogged heater cores. These overheating problems can arise particularly after multiple brake replacements and alignment adjustments, potentially affecting the circulation of coolant throughout the system. Additionally, owners of Mitsubishi Mirages from the 2014 to 2018 model years have noted concerns regarding airbag deployment issues. To mitigate overheating, it is crucial for owners to use high-quality coolants and adhere to regular maintenance schedules, including coolant changes every 30,000 miles or every two years. If the CVT exhibits strange behavior, some owners recommend checking for diagnostic codes and ensuring low system voltage is not an issue, as well as using OEM parts for accurate maintenance. Seeking advice from experienced technicians familiar with Mitsubishi Mirages can also be beneficial in addressing these overheating concerns effectively.
