2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse

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

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.

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. SHE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HER RESIDENCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENT WAS MADE APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS BEFORE THE LAST FAILURE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VALVE WAS STICKING IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER PERFORMED A FLUSH, WHICH CORRECTED THE FAILURE FOR APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,555 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,498.

I HAVE A 2001 ECLIPSE GT, AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF UNTIL ONE DAY THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT KEPT SMELLING LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND IT HAD BEEN THE HEADLIGHT HARNESSES. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM CLOSED DOWN SO I BROUGHT IT TO KEY MITSUBISHI OF MILFORD AND THEY SAID THAT THE HEADLIGHT HARNESSES MELTED. THEY IN TURN TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST CLOSE TO $300.00 TO FIX. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THE WIRES MELT AND IT SHOULD BE MITSUBISHI'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO CRABTREE IN MILFORD AND SEE IF THEY WOULD DO IT. THEY DID NOT WANT TO COVER THE DEFECT EITHER. I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR AND THIS CAUSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS DEFECT. THIS IS MITSUBISHI'S FAULT AND MISTAKE. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING CHEAP TO FIX. I AM CURRENTLY USING A RELATIVES LONER CAR TO GET AROUND BECAUSE I HAVE NO WAY TO PAY FOR THIS. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO. THANKS *TR
