“Vehicle went in for repair in March of 2025 for an open recall for the brakes. 3 months later the vehicle is experiencing brake issues related to a brake booster/master cylinder that was also recalled. Replacement is needed asap”

“POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE FELL AND RUBBED ON THE SERPENTINE SPELL UNTIL IT ATE A HOLE IN I. I AND THE TRACTION CONTROL IS ENGUAGEING AND DISENGAGEING ON ITS OWN ANS MY AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE FLASHING UNAVAILABLE.”

“I AM A CURRENT OWNER OF A 2006 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT WITH A 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE LESS THAN 22,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AS OF TODAY AND RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HEARING A NOISE COMING FROM MY TRANSMISSION WHILE I AM IN 'NEUTRAL.' I RECENTLY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 'PREVIOUS' RECALL SITUATION THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. I QUESTIONED THE 'NOISE' AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE 'THROW-OUT' BEARING ON THE CLUTCH. I ASKED IF THE PART CAN BE REPLACED AND IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY 'USUALLY' REPLACED THE ENTIRE CLUTCH DUE TO THE BEARING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY ITSELF. WHEN I ASKED WHY THE BEARING WAS NOT COVERED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A 'WEARABLE' PART. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS CLUTCH REPLACEMENT COULD COST AT LEAST $1,000. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSION-VEHICLES FOR OVER 13 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A 'CLUTCH' PROBLEM. THE PREVIOUS CARS I OWNED PRIOR TO THE ECLIPSE PURCHASE HAVE BEEN SOLD TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND THEY ALSO HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH. I CURRENTLY OWN A 20 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ALMOST 200,000 MILES AND I…”

“As with the early 2000's recall the paint (Clear coat) on Kalapana Black (Code X13) has started to peel off and Mitsubishi refused to address the issue.

Mitsubishi recalled the earlier years but stopped it I believe in 2002 being the latest year but seems they continued the painting practices.”

“IN NOVEMBER 2013 AFTER DRIVING IN RAINY CONDITIONS LEFT REAR EAGLE RSA FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NO KNOWN CAUSE OF FAILURE OTHER THEN IT JUST BLEW OUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN. TIRE WAS REPLACED ABOUT A WEEK LATER WITH ANOTHER EAGLE RSA. LAST NIGHT (JANUARY 2014) WAS DRIVING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS AND THEN GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN AGAIN THE TIRE BLOWS BUT THIS TIME THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF CAR BUT STILL THE REAR WHEEL. DURING THIS BLOW THE CAR SWERVED MOMENTARILY BUT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND THEN I HEARD THE NOISE INDICATING IT HAD BLOWN. IN NEITHER CASE WAS THERE AN INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRE BEFORE IT BLEW INCLUDING THE TREAD DEPTH. BOTH TIRES HAD BEEN ON THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR (CAR WAS BOUGHT NOV/ DEC 2012 AND NEW TIRES WERE ON THE CAR WHEN BOUGHT) AND HAD LITTLE WEAR ON THE TREAD DEPTH WHEN THEY HAD BLOWN. *TR”
