Defect/Problem: I HAD CHANGED THE OIL IN MY MITSUBISHI ON 12/20/98 AND ON 1/7/99 WHILE DRIVING, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, MY CAR SOUNDED A KNOCK AND COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FREEHOLD MITSUBISHI, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS TOLD ME THAT HE VISUALLY DETECTED THAT I HAD USED AN OIL FILTER THAT WAS FOR THE TURBO MODEL OF THE ECLIPSE. HE TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I HAD USED THE WRONG FILTER WHICH HAS THE WRONG THREADING FOR MY CAR. MITSUBISHI IS NOT COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE TWO TYPES OF FILTERS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE DOES NOT SHOW ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE THREADING ON EITHER OF THEM. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD AND I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY PROOF FROM MITSUBISHI THAT USING AN OIL FILTER, MADE FOR THE CAR WITH THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS FOR TURBO AND NON-TURBO, COULD POSSIBLY BE THE CAUSE OF BREAKING A CONNECTING ROD. WHAT IS MY WARRANTY FOR? THERE COULD BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I HAVE PAID IN FULL FOR THIS CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD REPAIRS. THEY HAVE GOTTEN TH

Defect/Problem: ON 2/6/02 I TOOK MY CAR TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI WITH POSSIBILITY THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND ALMOST DIES WHEN I COME TO A STOP. MITSUBISHI STATES "HOOKED UP THE MULTIPLE UNIT TESTER AND FOUND NO CODES STORED, TEST DROVE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE COMPLAINT. ADVISE CUSTOMER. NO OTHER WORK DONE." ON THIS DATE MITSUBISHI DID THE 18 MONTH / 22500 SERVICE, WHICH CONSIST OF BRAKE INSPECTION/TIRE ROTATION, MAINTENANCE SERVICE, CHANGE OIL AND FILTER AND INSPECT ALL FLUID LEVELS. ON 2/20/02 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDLE AFTER COMING TO A STOP IN GEAR, IDLES UNDER 750 RPM, DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. MITSUBISHI STATES "TEST DROVE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CONDITION AT THIS TIME. NO OTHER WORK DONE." ON 3/29/02 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, VEHICLE ALMOST DIES OUT AT IDLE, HESITATES AND RUNS ROUGH. IDLE FLUCTUATES FROM 750 RPMS TO ALMOST 0 RPMS AT STOP WHEN INCIDENT OCCURS. FUEL FILTER/INJECTORS? MITSUBISHI STATES THERE IS 3 TO 4 POSSIBLE REASONS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AND NOT SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER, ONE BEING THE THROTTLE NEEDS TO BE CLEANED. MITSUBISHI CLEANED THROTTLE AND TOLD ME IF THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM TO BRING THE CAR BACK AND THEY WOULD ELIMINATE THE 3 OTHER POSSIBILITIES. ON 4/4/02 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, I TOLD THEM WHILE THE THROTTLE CLEANING HELPED AT FIRST IT DID NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM AND I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER (GEORGE) THAT I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR BACK 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT STILL WASN'T FIXED AND THAT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO SHOW UP ON THEIR COMPUTER, SINCE IT HASN'T BEFORE AND IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME. I THEN ASKED GEORGE WHY NOBODY INFORMED ME, ON 2/6/02 WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST BROUGHT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL, THAT MY TOP RADIATOR HOSE HAD BEEN LEAKING OR WHY NO. *AK

Defect/Problem: GEARS ON CAR WEREN'T SHIFTING ON ACCELERATION;STAYED IN LOW GEAR. TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD INPUT SENSOR WITH PIECES OF METAL AROUND IT. DURING A TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE THE SAME DAY, THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS FOUND ON THE PANEL. DURING FURTHER INSPECTION, IT TURNED OUT THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED AND THE CLUTCHES WERE BURNT. ALSO, THERE WAS AN OUTDATED DRUM HOUSING DESIGN ON THE CAR THAT HAS BEEN UPDATED IN NEWER MODELS BECAUSE FAILURES WERE FOUND IN THE OLD DESIGN (WHICH WAS IN MY CARE). I HAVE A LETTER OF FINDINGS FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT INSPECTED THE CAR AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IN MY ECLIPSE FAILED QUICKER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. MITSUBISHI SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL ON THE OLD DRUM HOUSING DESIGNS THAT ARE PART OF THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY MY TRANSMISSION FAILED PREMATURELY. *AK

Defect/Problem: THE CAR SHAKES WILE BRAKING @ OR AROUND 40 MILES AN HOUR. DEALER REPORTED THE CAUSE AS ROTOR RUN OUT ON THE FRONT BRAKES AND TURNED ROTORS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. SOON AFTERWARDS, I REPORTED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING AGAIN AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OK AND TO BRING THE CAR IN WHEN THE SHAKING GETS REALLY, REALLY BAD. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK WHEN THE SHAKING GOT REALLY, REALLY BAD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY BRAKES BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ENOUGH THICKNESS ON THE ROTOR TO TURN THEM ANYMORE. THE DEALER GAVE ME A HARD TIME ABOUT REPLACING THE BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY, BUT FINALLY REPLACED THEM AS A GOODWILL REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS, SHIMS, CLIPS AND PADS IN JULY 2000. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS TWICE IN 2001 AND ONCE THEY WERE CRACKED. THE MECHANIC AT MIDAS TOLD ME THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN CRACKED BRAKE PADS BEFORE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FRONT BRAKES THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BRAKE PADS, BUT SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM SUCH AS CALIPERS. THE COMPANY HAS TRIED TO USE ANY EXCUSE THEY CAN TO NOT TAKE BLAME, LIKE SAYING THAT IT'S BECAUSE OF MY DRIVING OR BECAUSE I LET MIDAS CHANGE MY BRAKE PADS IN 2001. MIDAS HAS AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION IN THE BRAKE AREA AND THEY DON'T LIE AND COVERUP WHAT THEIR FINDINGS ARE. *AK

Defect/Problem: MY CAR IS LEAKING BLACK SEALING ON BOTH DOORS. THE BLACK SEALANT MELTS FROM SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE DOOR PLASTIC COVER AND COMES OUT ON THE BOTTOM. IT HARDENS AND LOOKS LIKE STICKY TAR. TRIED TO CLEAN IT, BUT IT WILL NOT SCRUB OFF OR SCRAPE OFF CLEANLY. FIRST TIME I SAW LITTLE BLACK SPOTS, I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK IF THIS WOULD BE A PART OF MY WARRENTY COVERAGE. I READ MY WARRENTY BOOK MANY TIMES AND I COULDN'T FIND THAT TYPE OF DEFECT ANY WHERE LISTED. THE GUY TOLD ME THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY, AND SINCE THE SPOTS WERE SO LITTLE, HE TOLD ME TO GO HOME AND CLEAN IT OFF AND THE SPOTS WON'T COME BACK. NEXT SUMMER CAME AROUND AND IT GOT WORSE. NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A BUNCH OF GLUMPED TAR ALL OVER THE BOTTOM PANEL OF THE DOORS. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IF I HAD BROUGHT IT UNDER WARRENTY, THEY COULD HAVE REPAIRED IT AT NO CHARGE. BUT BECAUSE I'M OVER MY WARRENTY LIMIT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE OVER $200.00 PER DOOR FOR REPAIRS. I ADVISED HIM THE PRIOR YEAR I HAD CAME AND ASKED, ONE OF THERE SERVICE TECHS TOLD ME IT WAS "NOT" UNDER WARRENTY THAT'S WHY THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. HE STATED THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET, THAT I WAS GIVEN FALSE INFO AT FIRST AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN GET MY DOORS FIXED UNLESS I PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A DEFECT THAT IS NOT MINE. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BETTER THAN WHAT WAS OFFERED AT THE DEALERSHIP.
