DRIVER'S SEAT - SUPPORT BRACKET HOLDING UP SEAT BACK FRACTURED. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - FAILURE REQUIRING REBUILD $1500.

I AM WRITING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE MY FRIEND RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH HIS ECLIPSE KNOWN AS "CRANK WALK" EVER SINCE THE 2ND GENERATION (95-99) TURBO ECLIPSE AND TALONS CAME OUT THEY HAVE BEEN WITH FAULTY CRANKSHAFTS. THE CRANKS EVENTUALLY WERE OUT THE THRUST WASHER AND SHIFT TO THE POINT THAT IT DESTOYS THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR, SHUTTING OFF THE MOTOR. MITSUBISHI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. ITS THEIR FAULT. THE VEHICLES ARE BAD FROM THE FACTORY BUT YET MY FRIEND HAS BEEN DENIED A WARRANTY CLAIM BECAUSE HE MADE A FEW UNREALTED PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS. PLEASE, I URGE YOU TO FORCE MITSUBISHI TO RECALL THE CARS WITH THESE BAD CRANKS BEFORE SOMEONE MOTOR SHUTS OFF AND AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED. YOU KNOW HOW BAD MITZ IS WITH RECALLS AS WITH THE LEAKY TRANSFER CASE. PLEASE CHECK THIS WEBSITE. HTTP://WWW.ROADRACEENGINEERING.COM/WALKINGCRANKSHAFT.HTM FOR OTHER PEOPLES EXPEREIENCES WITH CRANKWALK FAILURES. ALTHOUGH I HAVE A 92 AWD TALON MYSELF (WITH A LEAKING TRANSFER CASE) I HAVE WITNESS THREE OF MY FRIENDS SUFFER CRANKWALK FAILURES. OF THEM ONLY ONE WAS ABLE TO GET HIS DEALER TO COVER THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE'S CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING AND AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED. ALL THREE OF MY FRIENDS ESCAPED INJURY BUT WHO KNOW WHEN SOMEONE ELSE WONT BE SO LUCKY. THANK YOU. *AK
