2020 Mirage G4 Stalling and Hard Starts - Fuel Pump Recall?

Vehicle: 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE

Hi everyone,

I'm having some frustrating issues with my 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE. For the past few weeks, the car has occasionally stalled while driving, usually at lower speeds or when coming to a stop. It's also been experiencing hard starts, sometimes taking a few cranks before it fires up. The check engine light has come on a couple of times, but then goes off after a day or so.

I vaguely remember hearing something about a fuel pump recall for some Mitsubishi models around this time. Could this be related to my problems? I'm worried about getting stranded, and I want to make sure I address this correctly.

Has anyone else with a 2020 Mirage G4 experienced similar issues, or can confirm if there was a fuel pump recall that might affect my vehicle? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be greatly appreciated!

You're right to be concerned about stalling and hard starts, and your suspicion about a fuel pump recall is well-founded. Mitsubishi did issue a significant recall related to the fuel pump module for various models, including certain Mirage and Mirage G4 vehicles.

  1. Recall Confirmation: Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) issued a recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 20V-622) for certain 2019-2020 Mirage and Mirage G4 vehicles due to an issue with the fuel pump. The internal components of the fuel pump could swell, causing it to fail. This directly leads to symptoms like hard starting, engine stalling, and potentially the illumination of the check engine light.
  2. Symptoms Match: The symptoms you're describing—stalling, hard starts, and intermittent check engine light—are classic indicators of a failing fuel pump. When the fuel pump isn't delivering adequate fuel pressure, the engine struggles to run consistently.
  3. Check Engine Light Codes: If the check engine light is on, even intermittently, there are likely stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to fuel system pressure or misfires. Common codes might include P0087 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low) or various misfire codes (P030X).

When to See a Shop: It is crucial to address this issue immediately. A failing fuel pump can cause your vehicle to stall unexpectedly, posing a safety risk. You should:

  • Contact a Mitsubishi Dealership: Provide them with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). They can confirm if your specific 2020 Mirage G4 is covered by the recall and schedule the necessary repair, which should be performed free of charge under the recall.
  • Avoid Prolonged Driving: If your car is stalling, it's best to minimize driving until the recall repair is completed to prevent potential safety hazards.
