SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS SYSTEM FAILED DURING EMERGENCY MANUVERS, TURNED ONTO WRONG SIDE OF ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. FOUND MYSELF ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ISLAND. I NOTICED A SHARP TURN AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND TRIED TO TURN INTO THE TURN. THE CAR REMAINED GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH TIRES TURNED AND BRAKED APPLIED. I THEN PROCEEDED TO HIT THE CURB STRAIGHT ON AND THEN THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS ON THE GRASS. THE CAR SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS RIM AND TIRE. ON LOOKER SAW FRONT TIRES LOCKED UP AND THE REAR TIRES ROTATING FREELY. LUCKILY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH A PERSON INFRONT OF ME. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SKID MARKS NOTING THE ABS FAILURE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON 2/6/02 I TOOK MY CAR TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI WITH POSSIBILITY THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND ALMOST DIES WHEN I COME TO A STOP. MITSUBISHI STATES "HOOKED UP THE MULTIPLE UNIT TESTER AND FOUND NO CODES STORED, TEST DROVE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE COMPLAINT. ADVISE CUSTOMER. NO OTHER WORK DONE." ON THIS DATE MITSUBISHI DID THE 18 MONTH / 22500 SERVICE, WHICH CONSIST OF BRAKE INSPECTION/TIRE ROTATION, MAINTENANCE SERVICE, CHANGE OIL AND FILTER AND INSPECT ALL FLUID LEVELS. ON 2/20/02 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDLE AFTER COMING TO A STOP IN GEAR, IDLES UNDER 750 RPM, DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. MITSUBISHI STATES "TEST DROVE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CONDITION AT THIS TIME. NO OTHER WORK DONE." ON 3/29/02 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, VEHICLE ALMOST DIES OUT AT IDLE, HESITATES AND RUNS ROUGH. IDLE FLUCTUATES FROM 750 RPMS TO ALMOST 0 RPMS AT STOP WHEN INCIDENT OCCURS. FUEL FILTER/INJECTORS? MITSUBISHI STATES THERE IS 3 TO 4 POSSIBLE REASONS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AND NOT SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER, ONE BEING THE THROTTLE NEEDS TO BE CLEANED. MITSUBISHI CLEANED THROTTLE AND TOLD ME IF THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM TO BRING THE CAR BACK AND THEY WOULD ELIMINATE THE 3 OTHER POSSIBILITIES. ON 4/4/02 I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, I TOLD THEM WHILE THE THROTTLE CLEANING HELPED AT FIRST IT DID NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM AND I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER (GEORGE) THAT I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR BACK 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT STILL WASN'T FIXED AND THAT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO SHOW UP ON THEIR COMPUTER, SINCE IT HASN'T BEFORE AND IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME. I THEN ASKED GEORGE WHY NOBODY INFORMED ME, ON 2/6/02 WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST BROUGHT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL, THAT MY TOP RADIATOR HOSE HAD BEEN LEAKING OR WHY NO. *AK

WHEELS
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
