2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE Complaints

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAR 2002. AROUND THE END OF 2004 THE VEHICLE'S PAINT JOB BEGAN TO OXIDIZE. THE CONDITION WORSENED UNTIL THE WHOLE HOOD, TOP AND TRUNK LID PAINT WERE THOROUGHLY OXIDIZED. THE TOPS OF EACH DOOR, THE FRONT AND REAR FENDERS ARE ALSO DAMAGED. *JB

GENTLY DRIVEN 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE WHEELS BENT OUT OF SHAPE, CAUSING A TIRE TO LOSE AIR/BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. NARROWLY AVOIDED COLLISION AFTER BLOWOUT. *NM

A FEW THINGS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT... MY HEAD LIGHT ON THE LEFT THE ADJUSTER WAS BROKE ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR SO MY HEADLIGHT SHINES DOWN, ALSO ON THE LEFT SIDE THE BUMPER LIGHT EVERYTIME I CHANGE THE BULB IT GOES OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS, ALSO MY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH BROKE, I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE, I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM RENN KIRBY I WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL NOR WAS IT INSTALLED I HAD TO INSTALL IT MYSELF... TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AFTER 60000 MILES, WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS PLEASE EMAIL ME.. [email protected]. *NM

MY CAR HAS A DEFECTED DASH. I AM ON A FORUM DEDICATED TO ECLIPSES WHICH LEAD TO THIS SITE AND ALL ECLIPSES (00-02 AND EVEN STARTING ON 03 I BELIEVE) DASHES ARE CRACKING REALLY BAD. MY DASH ALONE HAS SEVERAL (AROUND 8) CRACKS AND SOME OF THOSE CRACKS LEAD TO PIECES OF THE DASH THAT ISN'T EVEN CONNECTED ANYMORE. I HAVE 2 FREE ROAMING PIECES ON MY DASH THAT WILL RANDOMLY FLY OFF AND SLIDE AROUND WHILE TURNING OR SHIFTING THE CAR. NOW I DON'T BELIEVE THIS CAN CAUSE ANY CAR FAILURES OR DEATH, BUT I BELIEVE THE DASHES SHOULDN'T BE FALLING APART FOR ANY REASON. I THINK MITSUBISHI SHOULD RECALL THE DASH WITH BETTER AND MORE STURDY MATERIAL. *NM

ENTIRE DASH CRACKED FROM THE SUN LIGHT EVEN THOUGH I USED A WINDSHIELD VISOR SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2000. THE CRACKED DASH IS BECOMING A TYPICAL THING ON 2000 ECLIPSES. *NM

(1) WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT OR APPARENT CAUSE THE DASH OF A MITSUBISHI 2000 RS ECLIPSE STARTED TO CRACK IN DIFFERENT PLACES (2) THE CONSEQUENCES MIGHT BE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. RIGHT NOW, I GET DISTRACTED BY THE CRACKS ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT KNOW HOW THESE LOOSE PARTS WILL BEHAVE ON A COLLISION (3) NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE CRACKED PLASTIC DASH. *NM

I HAVE A 2000 ECLIPSE GT AND THE DASH IS CRACKED IN IT. IT IS MADE OF A CHEAP PLASTIC THAT CRACKS VERY VERY EASILY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MITSUBISHI NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ECLIPSES THAT ALSO ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE CAN GO TO NUMEROUS ECLIPSE FORUMS AND SEE THIS. I FEEL THE DASH BEING CRACKED CAN ALSO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. HAVING CRACKS IN THE DASH MAKE IT NOT AS STURDY AND COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IF THERE IS ANY WAY YOU GUYS CAN FORWARD THIS ON TO MITSUBISHI I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. *NM

DASHBOARDS ON THE MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE MODEL YEARS 2000-2005 HAVE A TENDENCY TO CRACK AS THEY ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. NO FORCE IS APPLIED THAT MAKES THEM CRACK, SIMPLY HEAT FROM THE SUN OR COLD TEMPERATURES. MY DASHBOARD AND MANY THOUSAND OTHERS HAVE SEVERAL CRACKS AND THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY MITSUBISHI *NM

I HAVE A 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT. THE DASH STARTED CRACKING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. ALMOST EVERY PART OF THE DASH IS CRACKED NOW. I GOT A QUOTE FROM A MITSUBISHI DEALER AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH WAS $600+. I ALSO CHECKED A SALVAGE YARD WITH NO LUCK AT FINDING A REPLACEMENT. I AM WORRIED THAT THE CRACKING OF THE DASH WILL CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE OR SOME OTHER FAILURE AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A NEW ONE. *NM

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED AFTER ONLY A FEW YEARS. EVERYONE I KNOW WITH THIS CAR HAS HAD THEIR DASH CRACK. THE PART IS LISTED AS "INSTRUMENT PANEL". *NM
