2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE Complaints

CRACKED DASHBOARD. MANY MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR (2000-2005)

THE CLUTCH IS WEARING OUT FAST, IT SEEMS EVERY 1500 MILES A NEW CLUTCH IS NEEDED, TO ME IT THE HORSEPOWER OF THE ENGINE CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT TO THE ROAD AT THE EXPENSE OF EXCESSIVE FLYWHEEL AND CLUTCH WEAR. *TR

1. EVERY TIME IT RAINS THERE IS A LARGE ACCUMULATION OF WATER LEAKING FROM FRONT WINDOW/FRONT VENTS EVERY RAINFALL ON FRONT FLOOR BOARDS; 2. EVERY RAINFALL, SOAKS CARPET FLOOR BOARDS THROUGH TO BOTTOM FRAME OF CAR; 3. MANY, MANY THICK TOWELS ON FRONT FLOOR BOARDS. *TR

LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OR DIES THAT LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER 10 TO 20 MINUTES YOU COULD REVIVE THE ENGINE AGAIN USUALLY HAPPEN EVERY DAY . WENT TO THE DEALER WITH SERVICE BULLETIN THAT MIGHT AFFECT ON IT BUT THEY SAY NO PROBLEM ON IT AND THEY VOID THE SERVICE BULLETIN OR TRY TO. *TR

MY 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE HAS STARTED CRACKING DOWN THE DASH AND IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE ALL THE TIME. *TR

I'VE PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2 ECLIPSES W/ NO PROBLEMS, THIS ONE HOWEVER HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A LEMON. 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT V6. IN ADDITION TO THE CLUTCH WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED 1 YR AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAVE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF PROBLEMS W/ PARTS THAT SHOULD NEVER NEED TO BE REPLACED, NONE HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY SWAY BAR TWICE, THE A/C FAILED, THE ANTENNA EMBEDDED IN THE REAR WINDOW FAILED, ONE OXYGEN SENSOR, THE MIDDLE REAR BRAKE LIGHT WIRING BROKE, 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILED. AND THE WORST IS I WAS GOING THROUGH A HEADLIGHT A MONTH ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS HAD ACTUALLY MELTED THE TO THE CONNECTORS ON BOTH SIDES! AND NOW I MAY HAVE AN ELECTRICAL FAULT OR FAULTY VALVE IN MY A/C UNIT CAUSING MY HEAT TO KICK ON WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED ON. *TR

DASH CRACKED IN HALF (DEGRADATION). I FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALMOST EVERYBODY WITH THE MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE (MINE IS A 2001). MITSUBISHI WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LANDED ONTO THE FRAME. THE CONTACT STRUCK TWO PARKED VEHICLES AND THEN SLID INTO THE THIRD VEHICLE, WHICH STOPPED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BRAKING ABILITY AFTER THE ASSEMBLY FELL OFF. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT CONSULTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. COMPLICATIONS FROM INJURIES CLAIMED THE DRIVER'S LIFE, MY SON. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 BLACK ECLIPSE GT...BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN JAN. 01. AT 43,000 MILES ALL TOP SURFACE AREAS WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF PAINT PULLING FROM THE PRIMER...AT 53,000 MILES THE ROOF WAS DOWN TO THE METAL...TOOK ME MONTHS TO GET MITS. TO HANDLE. THEY ONLY WOULD PAINT THE AFFECTED SURFACES? THEN 20,000 THE REST OF THE SURFACES BECAME AFFECTED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SAID THEY WERE NOT COVERING THESE ISSUES ANYMORE??IF IT WAS ESTABLISHED AS A DEFECT IT SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR
