POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
RE MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE, 2006, 8,000+ MILES. WITH NO PRIOR SIGNS OR ODORS, RPMS FLUCTUATED IN 5TH GEAR AT 65 MPH REDUCED TO 30 MPH. VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND THEN WOULD NOT PROCEED IN GEAR. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND TOLD CLUTCH WAS WORN; PARTS WERE REPLACED. FAILURE WAS BLAMED ON DRIVER, BUT THERE IS REASON TO BELIEVE THE CLUTCH WAS FAULTY FROM START. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR A YEAR & HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF ISSUES. IT IS SCARY THAT A CAR THAT IS ONLY A YEAR OLD WOULD HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS. MY BRAKES STARTED SQEAKING AFTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS. I PLAN ON TAKING IT IN SOON BUT IT IF 30 MINUTES AWAY & TRYING TO FIT GOING TO THE SHOP INTO MY SCHEDULE IS VERY DIFFICULT. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PADS ON MY 2006 ECLIPSE GT REPLACED TWICE (I.E. 3RD SET OF PADS). EACH TIME A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL BEGINS A MONTH OR SO AFTER BEING INSTALLED AND PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE. I NOW HAVE JUST UNDER 8,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE THIRD SET OF PADS IS BEGINNING TO SQUEAL. AFTER REPLACING THE FIRST TWO SETS OF PADS, MITSUBISHI NOW SAYS THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKE PADS THAT SQUEALED CONSTANTLY. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

WORKING CAR FIRE FIRST REPORTED VIA 911 IN BRIDGEWATER NJ. REVISED STATUS WAS ALSO CALLED IN BUT WAS RESPONDED TO. STATE FARM INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF ENGINE EVEN WITH FULL COVERAGE INCLUDING COMPREHENSIVE. CAR STILL AT TOWED LOCATION. *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

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW. THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE WOULD NOT "CATCH" SOMETIMES WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT I CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE THE DOOR HANDLE DID NOT ALWAYS DO THIS I JUST DEALT WITH IT AND DID NOT TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE COMPLETELY BROKE OFF AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE HANDLE DOES NOT "CATCH" SO I CANNOT OPEN EITHER DOOR--I HAD TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE HATCHBACK!! IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE DOOR HANDLES. ALSO, THE TRUNK/HATCH LOCK IS WEIRD, I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TWICE EVERY TIME TO OPEN THE TRUNK--THE FIRST TIME THE TRUNK OPENS SLIGHTLY BUT REMAINS LOCKED...*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
