Hi everybody! I'm new to this forum and I need some help from you guys.
I bring my Mirage Technica from Puerto Rico last year and everything was fine up to yesterday. I was going to my work and suddenly the radio when off, then the clock in the dash when off too, and the SRS light in the dash come on. I keep driving and the tachometer when to 0 rpm but the motor still running and all the light of the car when off. When I get to work I realize that everything was working well but when I took the negative battery contact he shut down, so I though that the alternator was bad. The story doesn’t end there. When I when back o my house, I turn off everything so the battery last until I get home, but suddenly the car start doing the same thing and start acting like he need gas. Then I hear a loud sound and everything was working again, but the automatic transmition start to acting weird, when change the second shift it is like if it was in neutral then take the shift. When I get home took the battery connectors and stay on. What could happen? Any help is really appreciated.
My car is a:
Make: Mitsubishi
Model: Mirage LS (Technica in PR)
Motor: 1.8 Liter
Transmition: Automatic
Door: 4

umm dude, you gotta a bad alternator there bud.
everything runs off of the alternator in one way or the other, and since when your car is running, the alternator is keeping flow to the battery, and the battery to the fuseblock, then the only way for **** like that to die, and then work again is if your alternator is bad. dont worry though, shouldnt be to hard to fix.

dont knock the mirage... apparantly mitsu thought it was pretty good, or they wouldnt have used it to create the evo...
as for not being better than the honda, never owning a mirage, I can say this. Honda has, and always has had more money, and better engineers for building the type of cars they are building.. I must say though that the mirage is a helluva a good car. Dont think for a minute that Honda is impervious to building crap, do I even need to mention the last civic Si... the one that looked like a scale model of the oddesey, yeah the one that they couldnt give away, the one that sucked so bad, that no-one, and I mean no one even bothered spending money, and resources to build parts for. yeah that one.
lest we forget that for the most part, the bikes that honda builds (especially their sport-bikes) suck royally, and no-one would be caught dead building one of those. hell, honda had suck a hard time selling their last civic, that they cut the production run years early, and went back to the drawing board. No, Mitsu might not be perfect, but neither is honda. Take this from a die-hard honda fan who has owned a 92 civic with an lsvtec swap, a 98 accord with an h22 swap, two 00 si's at the same time, built one of them to the ridiculous level, and blew it up enough that I got so aquanted with every nut and bolt, so much that I new them on a first name basis, knew who their kids were and where they were going to school... and thats alot of info to get out of a bolt damnit.
Hondas arent the be-all end-all.

yo yo yo, jus calm down people, I belong to this forum because I like mitsu's i just don't like the mirage as much as when I got my first one. As soon as that thing hit 100,000 miles it started to nickle and dime me to death, first the TPS went, then the master cylinder failed, then the lights would work when they wanted to (that electrical problem was expensive to fix), i just decided to dump the problems i had with my mitsu on honda. Let them fix it and then turn around and sell it. The only cars i would buy anyway are honda's or mitsu's. When I come back to mitsubishi when i trade in my civic i'm planning on gettin either a lancer evo or a OZ rally edition lancer.
