1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse structure problems

“APRIL 2010 WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE A 1999 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE RS HATCHBACK AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR, THE 1999 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE RS HATCHBACK SUDDENLY LOSS CONTROL AND CRASHED ONTO THE ROADWAY. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR INSTANTLY LOSS USE OF CONTROL IN STEERING AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE ROAD ONTO A GRASSY MEDIAN TO MY LEFT SIDE. I DISCOVERED THE FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS LYING ON THE ROADWAY DETACHED FROM THE AXEL AND TIRE. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WAS WEDGED AT AN ANGLE BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE DISASSEMBLED PARTS OF THE CAR. I HAD THE 1999 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE TOWED HOME AND REPLACED THE FAULTY PARTS WITH ANOTHER FRONT CONTROL ARM & LOWER BALL JOINT PURCHASED FROM AUTO ZONE. IN 2011, THE SAME VEHICLE A 1999 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE RS HATCHBACK LOSES CONTROL WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES PER HOUR, AS I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO A TWO LANE STREET. THE CAR LOST STEERING CONTROL SKIDDING OFF THE ROADWAY IN THE DIRECTION ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THE FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS LYING ON THE GROUND DETACHED FROM THE FRONT DRIVER?S SIDE WHEEL. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WAS WEDGED BETWEEN THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ROAD. I CONTACTED A TOWING…”

“I PURCHASED CAR IN 2003 AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS CERTAIN AREAS ON THE CAR THE PAINT BEGAN TO DIMINISH. TAKEN TO MITSUBISHI FOR EFFECTED AREAS AND THEY PAINTED CAR ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, (THE EFFECTED AREAS AT THAT TIME) BUT WHEN THE REST OF THE CAR CONTINUED TO DIMINISH MITSUBISHI REFUSED TO PAINT AFFECTED AREAS BECAUSE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL MITSUBISHI'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY MITSUBISHI DOESN'T PAINT THE ENTIRE CAR AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THIS PROBLEM. THE ENTIRE CAR IS PAINTED WITH THIS CLEAR COAT, SO THE ENTIRE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MITSUBISHI DOESN'T PAINT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE ALL AT ONCE SO THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS WILL ONLY GO TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS, AND WILL JUST PAY OUT OF THEIR POCKETS WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN! THIS SAVES THE GREEDY COMPANY MONEY! *TR”

“I WENT TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR BARELY HAD THE HANDLE LIFTED UP AND THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED OFF IN MY HAND. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE DID THE SAME THING. *NM”

“DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. WEEKS LATER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED AS WELL. THE DEALER WAS ALERTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED.”

“BOTH DOOR HANDLES OF MY MISTSUBISHI ECLIPS 1999 HAVE BROKEN OFF AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS THE FIRST TO GO AND I DID NOT USE THAT DOOR 1/20 AS MUCH AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IHAVE REPLACED ONE... THE DRIVER'S SIDE, BUT I AM VERY WAREY AS IT MAY BREAK AT ANY TIME AND HENCE I WILL BE LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR. HOPEFULLY NOT FAR FROM HOME.*AK”

“THE CONSUMER NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM THE ROOF ONTO THE CARPET OF THE VEHICLE. *JB. WHILE DRIVING IN POURING RAIN WATRER LEAKED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP FROM THE BOTH SIDES RIGHT/LEFT WINDOWS, AN DIN THE BACK WINDOWS AND THE SEATS. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHO DEMANDED $500.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM.”
