1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse Problems & Complaints

I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE OUT OF NO WHERE, LUCKILY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ON RAMP AND NOT IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC YET. MY VEHICLE PULLED TOWARD THE DRIVE SIDE, I QUICKLY PULLED E-BRAKE TURNED MY WHEEL OPPOSITE OF TRAFFIC AND BRAKED. THE CAR STARTED FISH TAILING RIGHT TO LEFT BECAUSE OF THE DRIVE SIDE PULLING AND ME TRYING NOT TO ALLOW THE CAR TO SPIN OUT OR GO OFF THE SIDE OF THE ON RAMP. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP I MADE SURE MY FAMILY AND I WERE SAFE AND NO OTHER VEHICLE WERE INVOLVED. GOT OUT TO THE VEHICLE TO FIND MY DRIVE SIDE TIRE BENT IN MY FENDER MY AXLES IN HALF AND TIRE BLOWN, I CALLED FOR A TOW AND PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR TOW AND PARTS PLUS REPAIRS. I ALSO HAVE FUEL PRESSURE PROBLEMS, SRS LIGHT, SECONDARY AIR INJECTION MALFUNCTION. MY FUEL PRESSURE RELAY IS BLACK, THE SMOG TECHNICIAN SAID THE VEHICLE HAS RECALL ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

IF THEY DECIDE TO BREAK AT THE SAME TIME YOU WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE YOUR CAR IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS ABOUT $200.00 PER INCIDENT TO INCLUDE PAINTING AND INSTALLATION.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TODAY AND OUT OF NOWHERE ALL OF MY WHEELS LOCK UP AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. LUCKILY I STOPPED AND DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MUCH WORSE IF OTHER CARS WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T. THE RECALL SAYS THAT FLUID LEAKS OUT OF THE TRANSFER CASE AND CAUSES LOCK UP, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THERE IS A RECALL THAT NEVER EXPIRES FOR THIS UNTIL IT IS FIXED ONCE. SINCE IT SHOWS AS FIXED THE RECALL NO LONGER SHOWS AS OPEN FOR MY VIN, MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. A TRANSMISSION SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THIS FLUID SHOULD NEVER LEAK OUT ONCE, SO SURELY NOT TWICE IN 84,000 MILES. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND CALLED MITSUBISHI DIRECTLY AND NOBODY CARES THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN AGAIN AND SOMEONE COULD BE HURT. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REFILL IT WITH FLUID AND DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CAR SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 1995. IT ALSO HAPPENED TO ME IN MY EAGLE TALON TSI THAT IS THE SAME CAR AS THIS AND IT WAS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL SO I KNOW THIS ISSUE WELL AND ALL OCCURRENCES ARE IDENTICAL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE RIDING IN A MITSUBISHI IF THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ADMIT WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MY TRANSFER CASE SHOULD BE REPLACED SINCE THE ISSUE OBVIOUSLY WASN'T FIXED CORRECT THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. *JB

I WAS IN A CRASH. MY TRANSFER CASE LOCKED UP WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND HIT A GUARDRAIL. *NM

CAP OF DRIVER'S SIDE REAR STRUT TOWER FAILED. CAR SKIDDED BECAUSE THE SPRING AND SHOCK WERE RELEASED. REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE SECURED FROM DEALER WHICH ADVISED THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *NM

1995 ECLIPSE DOWN SHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR. *TS *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE TRANSFER CASE SEIZED. A NHTSA RECALL, #98V069001 WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONCERNING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT OFFER A SECOND REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE UNDER THE RECALL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD. IT WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE BUT NO REPORT WAS FILED. THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS NOT A FIRE, BUT THERE WAS A LEAK OF OIL AND ANTIFREEZE DUE TO A BUSTED HOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS HOME. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER WAS ALERTED NO OTHER INSPECTIONS WERE MADE.

RADIO IS LOCKED I NEED A CODE TO PUT IN TO GET POWER DEALER DID NOT HAVE CODE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRACK LAST OWNER DOWN TO GET THE OWNERS MANUAL. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS THE INSIDE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON. THIS HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR SMELLS ALOT LIKE GAS FUMES IT IS OVERWHELMING FOR MY CHILDREN,I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WE HAVE INSPECTED THE CAR REALLY WELL ON ALL FUEL LINES AND FOUND NO LEAKS,THE DEALER SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL,I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET,THEY TALK ABOUT THE SAME FUMES SMELL BUT HOW THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER NOT MATCHING THE ONE ON THE RECALL I THINK THIS ONE SHOULD ALSO BE ON THE LIST,CAUSE NOW THAT IT IS SUMMER IT REALLY WORRIES ME TO HAVE ALL THE FUMES IN THE CAR IN THE HEAT WHEN I AM DRIVING,AND THIS IS A CONSTANT VERY STRONG SMELL,I AM AFRAID THE CAR MAY BLOW UP OR SOMETHING.THIS HAS GONE ON EVERY DAY,SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR I GOT IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT AN ONGOING GAS ODOR PROBLEM WITHIN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR WAS STRONGEST WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, BUT COULD ALSO BE SMELLED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IDLED. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY DIDN'T SMELL THE GAS ODOR. *AK THE BELTS WERE NOISY AND WERE WORN OUT. BOTH DRIVE BELTS WERE REPLACED, THE FRONT WHEELS WORE OUT FAST, THE HORN WAS INOPERATIVE DUE TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT, THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WOULD SHAKE AND VIBRATE, THE RIGHT SEAT WOULDN'T LOCK, AND THE RADIO WAS INOPERATIVE. *SC THE HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING OIL.*JB

ON ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, TRANSFER CASE OIL LEAKAGE AND DANGEROUSLY LOW FLUID LEVEL WAS DETECTED ON VEHICLE AT 103,000 MILES. RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PERFORMED IN 1999, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 98V069001 , EXCEPT THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.*AK

WHILEDRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE STARTED TO DOWNSHIFT TO 2ND GEAR.AND HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR TO GET THE GEARS WORKING AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM REOCCUR EVERY TIME I PULL OUT . I HAD CHANCE THE TRASMISION TWICE ALREADY.*AK

THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE AT 2 AM. THE FIRE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AND BURNT THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. CONSUMER FELT THAT THE FIRE WAS DUE TO A DEFECT DESCRIBED IN THE FUEL RECALL 96V158001. BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE # 00V421001. WHILE ON HIS WAY TO THE DEALER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT LEFT BALL JOINT BROKE, HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD INTO A CORNFIELD. WHEN HE WENT TO DEALER, THEY TOLD HIM THAT THEY WOULD NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE FOR THE RECALL OR COVER THE DAMAGES. *JB

THE CAR DOES NOT START. THE STARTER STOPS WORKING EASILY. *AK

(1) TICKING NOISE FROM THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY AREA WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. KIND OF A SWOOSHING TICKEY NOISE. THIS IS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TRIGGER PLATE RUBBING ON THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. (2) STALLING WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. THE TRIGGER PLATE AND CRANKSHAFT HAVE BEEN MOVING SO MUCH THAT THE TRIGGER PLATE IS WEARING THROUGH THE SENSOR. CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH CONSUMER HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE BALL JOINT UNEXPECTEDLY FELL OFF, CAUSING CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DEALER WAS INFORMED BY CONSUMER. *AK

ENGINE DIES WITH OUT ANY WARNING, REGARDLESS OF SPEED. REPLACED FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER, FUEL PUMP RELAY, AND NO CHANGE IN THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN INFORMED THAT MY CRANKSHAFT IS "WALKING" AND THAT IT HAS CAUSED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TO GO BAD. *AK

RECALL SR-04-001: DRIVING 35 MPH FRONT RIGHT LATERAL BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM SOCKET CAUSING LOST OF CONTROL. *BF THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE BALL JOINT, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER CAN'T AFFORD THE EXPENSE OF HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. *JB

WHILE OPENING UP THE DOOR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, THE DOOR HANDLE UNEXPECTEDLY SHEARED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE PART WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THE CONSUMER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

I OWN A 1995 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE AND MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF WHEN I WAS OPENING THE DOOR. I OPENED IT GENTLY AND NOT ROUGH AND I ALSO KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE THE CONSUMERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNTS FOR THE REPAIRS CONSIDERING THAT THERE IS SO MANY OF US OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN AND WE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CAR, WE COULDN'T AND THAT PUTS OUR LIVES IN DANGER. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLED. IT CUT OFF WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 50-60 MPH. THIS WAS DANGEROUS. HE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN VEHICLE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. DEALER PUT VEHICLE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.*AK

DOOR HANDLE ON 1995 MITSIBISHI ECLIPSE BROKE WHEN TRYING TO ENTER VEHICLE.. NO ABNORMAL PRESSURE.. JUST SNAPPED OFF.. PLASTIC?? WHY IS THIS SO CHEAP?*AK

STRUT TOWERS (JUST UNDERNEATH THE HOOD) ARE RUSTING. IT'S AS IF THE VEHICLE IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER PASS INSPECTION. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE IS ABSOLUTELY FINE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL COLLAPSED. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OVER. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT TRANSFER CASE WAS LEAKING OIL. THIS COULD CAUSE THE GEARS TO LOCK UP. *AK

OIL LEAK INSIDE OF THE ENGINE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SMOKE. MECHANIC NOTICED A SEAL BROKE FROM THE ENGINE, AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER ALLEGES THAT THE PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM RECALLED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 98V-069; HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK *MJJ *MR

ON TWO OCCASIONS MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN OFF WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. I'VE HEARD THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE MITSUBISHI BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IF A RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT ISN'T DONE, CAN'T THEY AT LEAST MAKE THE HANDLES BETTER WITH SOME KIND OF METAL REINFORCEMENT INSIDE THE HANDLE STRUCTURE INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING THEM OUT OF A RIGID PLASTIC??*AK

AFTER RECALL 98V069001 REPAIRS FOR TRANSFER CASE WAS PERFORMED THE DEFECT RECURRED, AND TRANSFER CASE WAS LEAKING. THERE WAS A METAL PIECE IN THE OIL. *AK

WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

WHEN DRIVING STEERING WHEEL FELT REAL LOOSE. DEALER STATED LOWER BALL JOINTS FAILED.*AK

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT LENS HAS FOGGED UP, CAUSING THE POWER LIGHT PRODUCES TO DECREASE DRAMATICALLY. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. *JB

CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL IMPACT. NEITHER DUAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FROM IMPACT OF CRASH. *AK

THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED AND IT BECAME HARD FOR THE CONSUMER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. *NLM

THE HEAD GASKET FAILED, WHICH CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK. *JB

DRIVERS' SIDE HEADLIGHT IS TOTALLY FOGGED. JUST LOOK AT ANYONE WHO BOUGHT AN ECLIPSE FROM THIS YEAR AND THE PROBLEM IS THERE. ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED A HIGH LEVEL SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL THAT MITSUBISHI IN ITS' UNWILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE A PROPER REPLACEMENT, EVEN WHEN ASKED BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRATION IS UNACCEPTABLE! *JB

MANY VEHICLES OF THIS SAME MODEL YEAR WERE RECALLED FOR A GAS SMELL/ FIRE HAZARD CAUSED BY AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED FUEL TANK GASKET. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE A MATCHING VIN SO THE DEALER SAYS I AM NOT COVERED. IF IT WERE A DEFECTIVE PART I COULD UNDERSTAND THEM BEING ABLE TO CLASSIFY MY CAR AS HAVING PASSED. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS WAS A PROCEDURE, I DO NOT THINK THAT WITH THE # OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE THAT THEY HAVE COVERED ALL THE CARS THEY SHOULD HAVE. IS MITSUBISHI NOT NOTORIOUS FOR LETTING THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS ESCALATE TO UNREASONABLE AMOUNTS PRIOR TO ACTING?? *JB

CRANKSHAFT WALK. 1995 MITS. ECLIPSE 2WD TURBO. MY SON BOUGHT THIS CAR DIRECTLY FROM HAVING THE BOTTOM END REBUILT. WITHIN 200 MILES OF DRIVE TIME THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT. THE MECHANIC THAT DID THE REBUILD SAID HE DID NOT REPLACE THE SENSOR SO NO WARRANTY. AFTER SPENDING ANOTHER 160.00 ON A NEW CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND INTERRUPTER PLATE. IT LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY. ANOTHER 200 MILES AND DIED AT 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. IT WENT BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE CRANK BEARINGS PLATE AND SENSOR. IT ONLY TOOK HIM 8 WEEKS. WE PICKED UP THE CAR ON THURSDAY THE 20TH OF MARCH. THIS TIME IT LASTED 30 MILES AND THE PLATE IS AGAIN HITTING THE SENSOR. WE HAVE NOW PAID ALMOST 3000.00 AND THE CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SHOULD BE ABLE TO WALK. AND IT IS NOT FAIR THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS OBVIOUSLY IN THE DESIGN. NOT EVEN THE SHOP THAT WAS WORKING ON IT WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS BACK IN HIS SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME. HE IS LOSING MONEY AS ARE WE. *JB

CAR STOPS RUNNING UNEXPECTEDLY. WON'T RESTART RIGHT AWAY / MUST WAY ABOUT AN HOUR. UNEXPECTED ENGINE HALTING CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES MAKING STEERING AND STOPPING OF VEHICLE DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. THE UNEXPECTED ENGINE HALTING OCCURS WEEKLY MAKING THE VEHICLE NOT DEPENDABLE TRANSPORTATION.

THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN A HEAD ON COLLISION.*JB

CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS THINGS REPLACED AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THEN FOUR TIMES FOR THIS SAME REASON. I KNOW THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER BY NAME. IT'S A SHAME THAT THIS HASNT BEEN A RECALL. I GUESS THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE ACCIDENTS FIRST!!!

DEALER REFUSES TO AKNOWELDGE THE TRANSFER CASE RECALL ON MY 1995 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GSX

FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS MY CAR HAS BEEN MISSING(THE ENGINE NOT IDLING AS NORMAL). I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO CHECK THE ENGINE. HE SAID THAT THE NUMBER 2 CYLINDER IS NOT FIRING PROPERLY. HE CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL PERSISTING. HE SAID THAT HE SWITCH THE NUMBER 2 AND 4 INJECTORS AND HE DISCOVERED THAT THE INJECTORS ARE WORKING BUT THEIR SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRONIC ASPECT OF THE NUMBER 2 INJECTOR. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW BEST TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THEIR IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE FUSE BOX LOCATED UDER HOOD. SOME OF THE FUSES ARE LOOSE AND THEIR SUPPORT IS LOOSE. THE CODING ON THE FUSE BOX HAS BEEN PARTIALY ERASE. I REALLY LOVE MY CAR AND I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE. DT

AFTER NEARLY SIX YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, THE SKIRTS AROUND THE CAR ARE COLLAPSING, THE PLASTIC PINS HOLDING THEM IN PLACE HAVE DETERIORATED AND I HAVE LOST THE RIGHT HAND PASSENGER SIDE SKIRT ALTOGETHER. MITSHUBISHI REFUSES TO REPLACE IT OR FIX THE REST SO THAT THEY WON'T FALL EITHER. I AM FACING HAVING TO PURCHASE A FULL NEW SET. THIS IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR AS WHEN THE PAINT FINALLY PEELS OFF, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE USED POOR EQUIPMENT AND I HAVE NOTICED THEIR NEWER VERSIONS NO LONGER HAVE THE REMOVABLE SKIRTS.*AK

COMPONENT RELATED TO RECALL 00V421001 FOR LOWER BALL JOINT INTERACTS WITH LOWER COMPRESSION ARM IN FRONT SUSPENSION, WHICH ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COMPRESSION ARM IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF RECALL, AND WILL COST ADDITIONAL TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *AK

CONSUMER STATED TH CLUTCH FAILED. NLM

ENGINE ROD FAILED CAUSING METAL TO GO THROUGH THE ENGINE DAMAGING IT, A FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD NOISE THEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A ROD CAP DISCONNECTED AND HIT THE OIL PAN, THE CONSUMER HAS REPLACED TO ENGINES IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR AND FEELS THESE FAILURES ARE NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. NLM

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING 65MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION. UPON IMPACT, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. CONSUMER RECEIVED INJURIES INCLUDING SEVERE BACK AND NECK PAIN, AND LACERATIONS TO THE STOMACH AND SHOULDER AREAS. *JG

ON AUGUST 8, 2001, I TOOK MY ECLIPSE TO JERRY'S MITSUBISHI IN BALTIMORE, MD TO HAVE THE INDEPENDENT FRONT CONTROL ARM AND LOWER BALL JOINT REPAIRED AS A RESULT OF NHTSA RECALL 00V421001. ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT OF WORK, THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE REPLACED AND REPAIRS MADE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE. ON JUNE 9, 2002, THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT/INDEPENDENT FRONT CONTROL FAILED DURING A SLOW SPEED TURN OF LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE, THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOPPED. UPON INSPECTION, THE RIGHT WHEEL HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CONTROL ARM AND WAS JAMMED IN THE FRONT WHEEL HOUSING. AT THIS POINT THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. SERVICE WAS REQUESTED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO APPLE AUTO, BALTIMORE, MD (410-488-8788). IN CONVERSATIONS WITH DAVE, THE AUTO TECHNICIAN AT APPLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BALL JOINT HAD FAILED, THE CONTROL ARM HAD FAILED, AND THAT THE BEARINGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE AXLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT CANNOT BE DONE UNTIL THE CAR IS IN A DRIVEABLE CONDITION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF FUMES INSIDE/ OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF PROBLEM, AND SEEMD NOT TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED IT. *AK

CONSUMER HAS HAD TO HAVE HEAD GASKET REPLACED THREE TIMES ON VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE LEAKS OIL. TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. *AK.*JB

RECALL ON TRANSFER CASE WAS DONE IN 1998, AT THIS TIME TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING AGAIN.*AK

SINCE OCTOBER 2001, MY ECLIPSE HAS BEEN STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. BOTH THE ``CHECK ENGINE'' AND ``OIL'' LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS IT SLOWS TO A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. EACH TIME, I'VE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE RUN DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS ON MY CAR. BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN DETECTED. MEANWHILE, MY CAR CONTINUES TO CUT OUT WHEN LEAST EXPECTED AND REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I WISH THIS PROBLEM COULD BE DIAGNOSED AS I SEE FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE DRIVING A DEATH TRAP.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS USALLY HAPPENED WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR.*AK

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK UP THERE IS A STRONG SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE OF FUEL. THAT SMELL WILL LAST UNTIL ABOUT THE TIME VEHICLE REACHES 3 QUATERS OF A TANK. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

ALL FOUR STRUTS WERE LEAKING FLUID,.ALSO, ALL FOUR STRUTS NEED TO BE CHANGED. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

CONSUMER SMELLS GAS FUMES WHEN DRIVING. ALSO, SMELLS FUMES WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THERE IS A RECALL, 96V158001, ON VEHICLE'S MAKE/MODEL; BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK *TT

WHEN PARKING VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT OIL LEAK.*AK

THERE ARE STRONG FUEL FUMES INTERNAL AND EXTERNALM WHICH CAUSE DIZZY SPELLS AND MINOR STOMACH ACHES. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

AT TIMES THE I CAN SMELL FUEL FUMES INSIDE/OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THE IS NO LEAKAGE, ONLY THE FUMES ARE ESCAPING THE FUEL TANK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 1995 MITSUBISHE ECLIPSE GS 1995 (SAME AS MINE) FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 96V158000. AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 96V158001. THE FUEL TANK GASKETS FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND/OR GAUGE UNIT GASKET COULD HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED ALLOWING FUEL OR FUMES TO ESCAPE. IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, THE FUEL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THE MITSUBSHI DEALER THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY SAY MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER DOES NOT SHOW THIS RECALL.*AK

MY SON WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE RECALL WHICH WE WERE NEVER INFORMED ABOUT. HE WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT AWAY FOR ABOUT 20 FEET WHEN HE FELT A POP LIKE HE GOT A FLAT TIRE AND THEN HE LOST ALL CONTROL OF HIS CAR WHICH DID A 180* SPIN AND SLIF INTO BUSHES AFTER HITTING A SMALL CURB. HIS TIRE WAS SIDEWAYS, WHEN ADVISED THERE WAS ALOT OF DAMAGE I FOUND OUT THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND VIN# WHICH WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT AND ASKED A MECHANIC IF THIS COULD OF CAUSED HIS ACCIDENT AND WAS TOLD MOST DEFINATELY. MY SON MISSED HITTING A TREE BY 24 INCHES. I WANT HIS CAR FIXED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE AND TO MAKE SURE HE WON'T GET A SURCHARGE ON HIS POLICY FOR A MANUFACTURERES DEFECT WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY SON WENT TO VERMONT LAST WEEKEND AND I CAN'T BARE THE THOUGHT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. *AK

THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS FUMES ON THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A RECALL (REF. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 96V158000 AND 96V158001). AFTER READING THE RECALLS' INFORMATION I REMOVED MY REAR SEAT TO EXPOSE THE SUSPECT AREA AND AN ALMOST UNBEARABLE AMOUNT OF GAS FUMES WAS EMITTING FROM THE FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION AREA. *AK

HAVE BUILT WEBSITE TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AT HTTP://WWW.MITSUBISHICARS.ORG - DEALER AND MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

HELLO..... I WOULD LIKE TO ALERT YOU TO A MAJOR PROBLEM REGUARDING ALL 1995-1999 MITSUBISH ECLIPSE CARS. ALL CARS ARE PRONE TO CRANK WALK WHICH WILL ON AVERAGE DO $2,000 TO $6000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, THIS IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITAN FROM MITSU... THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION, JUST LIKE THE RECALL ON THE TRANSFERCASE. IF CRANKWALK WAS TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, LOCAL IS 75, SUDDEN SHUTTIN OFF OF THE ENGINE WOULD CAUSE POWER STEERING FAILURE, NOT TO MENTION A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS (ABS WOULD FAIL)...... THIS WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT IN MY OPINION, CAUSE AN EXTREME ACCIDENT. PLEASE, DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT ... GO TO WWW.DSM.ORG AND DO A SEARCH FOR "CRANKWALK" GO TO WWW.ROADRACEENGINEERING.COM, AND VIEW THEIR TECH INFO ON CRANK WALK... THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT IS THE DIRECT RESAULT OF A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS STRIKES ALL TRANSMISSIONS, ALL MAKES (TURBO OR NOT), TALON OR ECLIPSE. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT.... THIS IS HAPPENING TO OEM ENGINES, MODIFIED, AND DEALER REBUILT ENGINES... PLEASE CONTACT ME REGUARDING THIS PROBLEM... I DO HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL RESEARCH THIS..... I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING TO REBUILD AN ENGINE JUST BECAUSE A CRANK AND BAREINGS WERE MADE OUT OF SPEC AT THE DEALER..... THEY ALSO HAVE NO VALID REASON TO BLAME MILD MODIFICATIONS FOR THESE FAILURS WHEN DEALERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH SEVERAL OF THESE A MONTH (DEALERS HAVE REPORTED OVER 3 WALKING CRANKSAFTS IN 3 DIFFERENT YEARS OF ECLIPSE WITHIN 1 MONTH!!!!!!!) -- THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THE OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR, THIS IS NOT STANDARD WARE. *AK
