Affected Years: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. Our law firm is also investigating 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Engine Mounts/Fuel System.
The focus on warranty repairs for a vehicle and the mention of Lemon Law sets the expectation around the issue or defect being on a new vehicle. While it is true that recurring issues for a manufacturer will generally lead to recalls for common issues like a faulty part or bad software, other times it is deemed to be easier to deal with the vehicles that are brought in by their owners. Some people refuse to buy a new model car until it has been available for purchase for a couple of years, so that other people can get all those bugs and issues identified and the manufacturer and dealers can figure out how to get the repairs done right the 1st time. The reality when it comes to Lemon Law claims is that issues can occur at any point in the ownership or lease of a vehicle. Its age and release date for purchase have little to do with repair issues.

The California Lemon Law And What You Should Know
California Lemon Law was adopted in 1971 with the express purpose of providing consumers protection when it came to dealing with manufacturers and their warranties. The law has evolved since then. Starting with the original bill, known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, it required manufacturers to repair products that weren’t meeting the express warranty offered, including automobiles. The next evolution was the Tanner Consumer Protection Act in 1983, with firm definitions of what had previously been referred to as “a reasonable attempt to repair” a defect. It also added in a total time limit of 30 days in repair efforts, and included used vehicles with existing factory warranty time periods remaining.
The final evolution occurred with amendments AB1755 and SB 26, which were implemented in January of 2025. These were focused primarily on procedural changes regarding the court backups on Lemon Law hearings, and expediting resolution of claims. They also changed the Statute of Limitations for filing a Lemon Law claim to 1 year after the warranty expiration or 6 years from the date of vehicle delivery, whichever comes first. Guardian Lemon Law will review your case with a Mitsubishi Mirage G4 lemon law attorney to ensure that the claim is eligible under the new Statute of Limitations and the vehicle is qualified under Lemon Law.
The Eligibility Requirements For Filing A Lemon Law Claim
The key factors for vehicle qualification for Lemon Law claims are listed below. There are times when one of the common disputes between owner and manufacturer is about the vehicle being qualified and eligible for either buyback or a full refund less the miles placed on the vehicle before your 1st trip to the dealer to address your issues.
In order to validate the potential for a Mitsubishi Mirage G4 defective engine mounts/fuel system lemon lawsuit or Lemon Law claim, Guardian Lemon Law performs a case evaluation to confirm qualification of your vehicle under the guidelines below.
- Your vehicle is still covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty
- The issue named as the Lemon Law issue cannot be caused by improper use or abuse of the vehicle by the owner

- A reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue with the car have been made, with at least two attempts for significant safety issues, and at least four attempts for any defect that is not safety-related

The 2016-2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Engine Rough Idle/Misfire Issues And Customer Experiences
Owners of the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 report a rough idle and excessive shaking when their Mirage G4 is stopped at a light or in a driveway, but is still running. This usually stems from either failed motor/transmission mounts, an engine misfire caused by a bad spark plug or ignition coil, or a clogged air/fuel delivery system. This particular car has a small 3-cylinder engine, making it overly sensitive to idling vibrations.
Ignition system causes are usually either spark plug or plug wire related, or engine coil issues causing the plugs to fire out of order, or not at all. The plugs could be fouled or faulty. The cable may be loose or also dirty where it connects to the spark plug. The plugs firing out of order will lead to severe issues when it comes to engine operation and performance. The plugs need to fire at specific times related to the cylinder location, and when they are early or late, the detonation of the mix of air and fuel creates havoc inside the engine. With just 1 plug failing to fire or firing out of order, you have to acknowledge that it is one-third of all the cylinders and plugs affected.
For some of the same reasons, the fuel system could also be the primary culprit. The mixture of fuel and air is as important as the spark occurring at the right time. If this mix is off, the performance is affected, and you can get sputtering and inconsistent power. Issues with the injectors being dirty or clogged, the fuel being contaminated with water, or a faulty or failing fuel pump and rail assembly could be the cause.
Even an air sensor failing could cause a poor mix that affects the detonation in the cylinder. The vacuum system affects that air to fuel mixture as well, as do the air-fuel mixture sensors, which, even when slightly dirty, do not sense the air as accurately and allow more than they should. Suddenly your ratio is lean because you have more air than fuel. You don’t have enough fuel to burn all the air, degrading the engine performance. The system will try to compensate to restore the designed ratio, but with less fuel and air, you still get less than ideal performance, and irregular behavior like a rough idle.
The repair efforts for this issue vary. Expect hours of diagnostic time and some trial and error as parts get swapped and the vehicle is test driven. It can be extremely time consuming and annoying when the issue returns.
