Known issues on the 1990 Mirage. One recall appears on the federal record for the 1990 Mirage. It concerned certain 1990 Mirage vehicles with Takata-made safety belts, where a front buckle's red release button could crack and shed pieces into the buckle, which then might not latch or release properly in a crash; dealers fixed faulty buckles free. Seat belts also lead the owner complaints, with 19 of the 33 logged, followed by the engine and engine cooling with 6, the electrical system with 4 and visibility with 2. A crash came up in 1 complaint, a fire in 2 and an injury in 1. The manual gives procedures, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the body and electrical systems.
