A quick eligibility check

Your Mirage G4 may qualify if…

These are common indicators under California's Song-Beverly Act. An attorney reviews the full repair and warranty history before determining whether the firm can take a case.

You bought or leased the vehicle in California.

The problem arose while a manufacturer warranty covered the vehicle.

The dealer has had repeated repair opportunities, or the vehicle has spent significant time in the shop.

The defect continues and substantially affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Why a warranty isn't enough

Your warranty vs. the lemon law

A warranty is a promise to attempt repairs. The lemon law is what protects you when those repairs never stick.

The manufacturer's warranty

  • The manufacturer decides which repairs to attempt.
  • It only obligates them to keep trying — not to actually fix the problem.
  • When the warranty ends, the manufacturer's repair obligation ends.

California's lemon law

  • Kicks in when repeated repairs don't fix a substantial defect.
  • Can require a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement.
  • Your legal claim can survive after the warranty ends — if the defect was reported while it was in force.
  • When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Common Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Problems

The 3A92 1.2L engine in the Mirage G4 sedan develops premature crankshaft bearing wear, resulting in a deep knocking sound from the lower engine block and eventual catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.
The CVT transmission exhibits excessive belt slippage during highway merging and hill climbing, causing RPM flare without corresponding acceleration and a noticeable burning smell from overheated transmission fluid.
The electronic power steering system loses assist intermittently due to a faulty torque sensor in the steering column, triggering the EPS warning light and requiring complete steering column assembly replacement.
The 3A92 engine's variable valve timing solenoid seals deteriorate prematurely, causing oil leaks onto the timing chain cover and triggering code P0011 for intake camshaft timing over-advanced on bank one.
The rear drum brake hardware including return springs and self-adjusters corrodes and seizes, causing uneven braking, rear wheel lockup during moderate braking, and premature shoe wear on one side.

Your California Lemon Law Rights

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Mitsubishi Mirage G4 has a substantial defect that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to:

  • Full refund of the purchase price
  • Replacement vehicle of comparable value
  • Cash compensation (cash-and-keep settlement)
  • Attorney's fees paid by the manufacturer

Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Lemon Law FAQ

My Mirage G4 has a serious engine knocking noise that the dealer cannot fix. What are my options under California Lemon Law?

If the engine knocking is caused by a defect covered under Mitsubishi's warranty and the dealer has been unable to repair it after a reasonable number of attempts, you likely qualify for relief under Song-Beverly. You can demand either a replacement vehicle or a full refund. An engine knock indicating internal bearing failure is clearly a defect that substantially impairs safety and value.

The dealer keeps telling me my Mirage G4 CVT is operating as designed. How do I fight this under Lemon Law?

Document every visit on the repair order and specifically describe the symptoms you experience such as RPM flare, slipping, and burning smells. Request that the dealer perform a CVT fluid analysis and pressure test. Under Song-Beverly, the dealer's refusal to acknowledge a legitimate defect does not eliminate your rights. A lemon law attorney can retain an independent expert to verify the transmission defect.

Is there a minimum purchase price for a vehicle to qualify under California Lemon Law?

No. There is no minimum purchase price requirement under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Whether your Mirage G4 cost $15,000 or $50,000, it is equally protected. The law applies to all new and some used vehicles sold or leased with a manufacturer's warranty in California, regardless of the vehicle's value.

Can I trade in my Mirage G4 while a Lemon Law claim is pending?

It is generally not recommended to trade in or sell your vehicle while a lemon law claim is pending, as it can complicate your case and reduce your potential recovery. If you must replace the vehicle for safety reasons, consult your attorney first. Document the trade-in value received, as any loss in value due to the defect may be recoverable as damages under Song-Beverly.
