2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE Complaints

MY 6 SPOKE MITSUBISHI RIMS ARE DENTED FROM NORMAL DRIVING IN THE CITY. THEY BECAME DENTED WHEN I HAD HIT MNOR POTHOLES GOING AT 20MPH OR SLOWER. I HAVE TALKED TO THE MITSUBISHI HOTLINE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD BE REPLACED BUT FOR $250. I DONT BELIEVE I SHOULD PAY THISAS I BELIEVE IT IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE.*AK

HAVE TO INFLATE DENTED RIMS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. CANNOT HOLD PROPER PRESSURE. HITTING SMALL POTHOLES DENTED 2 RIMS IN 2 PLACES WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH. *AK

I STARTED NOTICING A RATTLE FROM THE CLUTCH/TRANSAXLE. IT OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. THE RATTLE STOPS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PUSHED IN. *AK

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIT A POTHOLE, MY RIM WAS DENTED PRETTY GOOD. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT HITTING A POTHOLE WOULD CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE.*AK

TWO PIECE ALUMINUM WHEEL BENT SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER NORMAL CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. *AK

PE 01 044/ALLOY WHEEL: CONSUMER STATES THE LEFT REAR WHEEL RECEIVED A DENT BY RUNNING OVER A POT HOLE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED . NLM

ALL 4 ALLOY WHEELS ON MY MISTUBISHI ECLIPSE GT HAVE BENT OVER THE LAST 8 MONTHS. I HAVE ONT HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE THESE FAILURES. I REPLACED ONE I OCTOBER 2001, ONE IN FEBRUARY 2002 AND I WAS JUST INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT 2 MORE ARE BENT. THIS TIME, THEY ARE BENT ON THE "INSIDE." I'M NOT SURE HOW THE INSIDE OF A WHEEL GETS BENT WHICH WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE TO ME THAT THIS WAS NOT THE RESULT OF AN IMPACT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING!*AK

WHEN DRIVING WHEELS BECOME VERY SOFT UPON HITTING A BUMP OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND NOTHING WAS DONE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION, AND VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.*AK

RIMS ARE MADE OF TOO SOFT MATERIAL, BEND EASILY, CAUSING TIRES TO LOOSE AIR.*AK

ALL FOUR OF MY WHEELS ARE BENT. I BOUGHT ANOTHER OEM WHEEL FROM MITSUBISHI WHICH IS ALSO BENT. IN TOTAL I HAVE 5 BENT OEM WHEELS. I HAVE ALL WHEELS FOR EXAMINATION IF REQUIRED.*AK
