Complaint Description: my 2000 mitsubishi eclipse leaks water one the driver and passenger sides. the water leaks from the hatchback area, especially when the car is parked on a downhill position. the hatchback area only has a small hole for the water to drain and it clogs very easily. sometimes it doesn't even clog but somehow the water still does not drain. the service department at mitsubishi "blows out" the hole but this is only a temporary fix. i check it at least once a week and it still floods. the flooding gets so bad that it shorts the speakers and stero equipment which is located under the seat. my car has flooded at least 50 different times since owning this vehicle and the continue to tell me that nothing can be done except for this "blowing out" the hole garbage. don't buy this car if you have to park on any sort of hills. the last time it happened, i had at least 2 inches of water on my passenger side.*ak .
