CAMSHAFT STARTED MAKING SAME NOISE AT 97,000 MILES AS IT DID AT 47,000 WHEN IT FAILED AT 65 MPH ON THE HWY. ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND IT IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY. I BELIVE THAT THE LIFE TIME OF THE PART MAY ONLY BE APROX. 45,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC DESCIBED THE PROBLEM AS THE "CAM SHAFT WAS WALKING". HE ALSO SAID THAT HE HAD SEEN A FEW OTHER CASES.*AK

THERE IS A RECALL (ID# 96V158001) ON THIS YEAR / MAKE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAYS IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY CAR.

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL ON CONTROL ARM AND THE DEALER DENIED HIM REFUND FOR REPAIR COST ON RECALL PART WHICH THE CONSUMER PAID FOR BEFORE RECALL WAS ISSUED. *YH

LOWER CONTROL ARM/BALL JOINT BROKE. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE.*AK

EMITS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL OR EXHAUST INTO THE CABIN, AND AROUND THE CAR. PREVIOUSLY, THEY CLAIM TO HAVE ADDRESSED IT, BUT MITSU ASKS ME TO BRING IT BACK TO LET THEM LOOK AGAIN. THIS IS UNBEARABLE, AND PROBABLY UNSAFE. I THINK THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT IN AT THEIR CONVENIENCE, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS YOU HELP THEM SEE THE IMPORTANCE.*AK

MOTOR JUST STOPPED THE CAR ALWAYS LOST T CLUTCH PEDAL $3500 TO FIX BAD TRUST BEARING. *AK

TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO MY INQUIRY INTO THIS MATTER MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE BECAME DETACHED WITH NO EXCESSIVE FORCE INVOLVED. TAKEN AS A TYPICAL OCCURRENCE INQUIRY TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS NEVER MADE. HOWEVER, 2 WEEKS AGO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BECAME DISCONNECTED IN THE SAME MANNER. AFTER PHONING THE DEALERSHIP AND MITSUBISHI HOT LINE I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM, YET THER HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS INCURRED. RESULTING IN MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE IN THE AMOUT OF OVER 250 DOLLARS. MY QUESTION IS THAT IF THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBELM, WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S DEFEFCT. I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER AND A PROMPT RESPONSE TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS LISTED ABOVE, AS I FEEL A FAULTY MANUFACTURING DEFECT SHOULD NOT BE AT FAULT OF THE COMSUMER. REGARDS J. JOSEPH. *AK

VEHICLE STALLS AT ANY SPEED, HAD SAME PROBLEM IN 1998. DEALER REPLACED ENGINE CONTROL UNIT. *AK THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF SUDDENLY AT 20-65 MPH. THERE IS OIL LEAK AS WELL DUE TO CYLINDER HEAD GASKET FAILURE. *YH

HAS CONTACTED A DEALER, DEALER HAS NOTICED LOWER BALL JOINT BOOT HAS STARTED TO SEPARATE WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR RECALL WORK. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

AFTER THREE VISITS TO THE DEALER (SOMETIMES BY TOW TRUCK), THEY REPEATEDLY INDICATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON THE FOURTH VISIT, THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED. THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED IN NOVEMBER OF 2000. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WHERE THEY ONCE AGAIN CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE OIL GASKET COVER WAS REPLACED ON 12/29/98. SUBSEQUENT COMPLAINTS OF AN OIL LEAK WERE DISMISSED AS NOT CAUSING THE PRESENTING PROBLEM OR I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL LEAK DESPITE PROVIDING DOCUMENTATION FROM OTHER REPAIR ESTABLISHMENTS. HOWEVER, AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD, AN OIL LEAK WAS DIAGNOSED ON 9/19/00. THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED.

RECALL 99V066001/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL SR99002. CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING 50MPH & BALL JOINT ON THE RIGHT SIDE CAME OUT AND BROKE LOWER CONTROL ARM, CAUSING VEHICLE TO RUN INTO SIDE OF BRIDGE.

HELLO..... I WOULD LIKE TO ALERT YOU TO A MAJOR PROBLEM REGUARDING ALL 1995-1999 MITSUBISH ECLIPSE CARS. ALL CARS ARE PRONE TO CRANK WALK WHICH WILL ON AVERAGE DO $2,000 TO $6000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, THIS IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITAN FROM MITSU... THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION, JUST LIKE THE RECALL ON THE TRANSFERCASE. IF CRANKWALK WAS TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, LOCAL IS 75, SUDDEN SHUTTIN OFF OF THE ENGINE WOULD CAUSE POWER STEERING FAILURE, NOT TO MENTION A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS (ABS WOULD FAIL)...... THIS WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT IN MY OPINION, CAUSE AN EXTREME ACCIDENT. PLEASE, DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT ... GO TO WWW.DSM.ORG AND DO A SEARCH FOR "CRANKWALK" GO TO WWW.ROADRACEENGINEERING.COM, AND VIEW THEIR TECH INFO ON CRANK WALK... THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT IS THE DIRECT RESAULT OF A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS STRIKES ALL TRANSMISSIONS, ALL MAKES (TURBO OR NOT), TALON OR ECLIPSE. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT.... THIS IS HAPPENING TO OEM ENGINES, MODIFIED, AND DEALER REBUILT ENGINES... PLEASE CONTACT ME REGUARDING THIS PROBLEM... I DO HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL RESEARCH THIS..... I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING TO REBUILD AN ENGINE JUST BECAUSE A CRANK AND BAREINGS WERE MADE OUT OF SPEC AT THE DEALER..... THEY ALSO HAVE NO VALID REASON TO BLAME MILD MODIFICATIONS FOR THESE FAILURS WHEN DEALERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH SEVERAL OF THESE A MONTH (DEALERS HAVE REPORTED OVER 3 WALKING CRANKSAFTS IN 3 DIFFERENT YEARS OF ECLIPSE WITHIN 1 MONTH!!!!!!!) -- T

I WAS TOLD BY THE MEHANIC THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON MY VEHICLE, THEY CALL IT "CRANKWALK"*AK

ENGINE WOULD MAKE CLINGING & BANGING NOISES WHEN TRYING TO GET ENGINE TO START. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THE FLANGING THAT HOLDS THE CRANKSHAFT IN PLACE WAS THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. IT HAD BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE WELDING. THIS CAUSED IT WOBBLE. IT ALSO BORED A HOLE IN THE ENGINE SHORT BLOCK. ITS THE REASON FOR NOT STARTING.*AK

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 BRAND NEW BATTERIES WHICH WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE THEY WERE TOTALLY DRAINED. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THERE IS NOTHING THAT I HAVE DONE THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BATTERIES TO DIE. THE BLOWER ON THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEAT DOESN'T WORK AND THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE COVER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS PRYING UP FROM THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACE 2 TIMES ALL READY AND NOW ALL THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THIS VEHICLE MAKE HAS VERY SERIOUS DEFECTS AND AFTER REVIEWING OTHER CONSUMERS PROBLEMS. I'M VERY GLAD THAT I PLAN TO SELL MINE VERY SHORTLY.

MY '95 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GSX AT 50K(1/99) HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH AND SHORTBLOCK. WELL IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS FIXED. NOW I HAVE 80K(8/22) AND I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD BY TODD MASON THAT IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TURBO ECLIPSE'S. MITSU ONLY OFFERED TO PAY FOR A NEW SHORTBLOCK BUT LEFT ME TO PAY THE LABOR WHICH WOULD BE IN THE THOUSANDS. THEY SAID IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT 30K IS NOT ENOUGH MILES OR TIME FOR THE CLUTCH AND SHORTBLOCK TO BREAK DOWN AGAIN AND IT'S THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL IT'S A MITSU DEFECT IN DESIGN. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY BIG BUCK EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS. IF IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM I SAY THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON IT. HELP WHAT DO I DO? HOW DO I ARGUE MY POINT??? EVERYBODY SEEMS TO AGREE WITH ME, CO-WORKERS, DEALERSHIP, MITSU CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON. EVERYBODY BUT THE DEALER REP WHO HAS TO AUTHORIZE THE WORK. I'VE KEPT THE CAR IN GOOD CONDITION AND HAVE HAD ALL MY REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTANCE DONE.
