PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AND DOOR HANDLE HAVE PAINT PEELING. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? ACCORDING TO SEVERAL BODY SHOPS THIS IS POOR PAINT QUALITY AND ISSUES FROM MITSUBISHI. IVE NOTICED THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE BLACK ECLIPSES ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

DASH ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS RAISED AT LEAST 3-5 INCHES. NOT IN THE GROOVE WHERE IT SHOULD BE. WOULD THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS AN AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS FOR CUSTOMERS.

DASH PAD IN VEHICLE HAS COME APART, COMPLETELY BLOCKING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE DASH PAD IS STICKING UP AT LEAST 3 INCHES IN FRONT OF AIRBAG. IF AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY EVER IT WILL NOT PROPERLY AND COULD CAUSE MORE HARM TO PASSENGER AND DRIVER. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED MY CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO THESE VEHICLES. I THINK ALL AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE FIXED, SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON PRETTY NEW CARS.

THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WON'T DEPLOY IF ITS IN A ACCIDENT. THE DASH PAD ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SIDE IS ELEVATED AND OUT OF ITS POSITION BY AROUND 2-3 INCHES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SIGN ON. SURPRISED TO SEE SIMILAR ISSUE BY OTHER CUSTOMERS AS WELL HERE. LOOKS LIKE IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND NEED TO BE FIXED BY MITSUBISHI. GOD FORBID IF THERE IS ANY INCIDENT........UPDATED 12/16/15 *BF *TR UPDATED 10/06/2017*CN
