2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Defect. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Eclipse vehicles manufactured April 20, 2005, to February 13, 2009, and 2007-2009 Eclipse Spyder vehicles manufactured December 23, 2005, to February 13, 2009. Due to corrosion inside the antil-lock brake system (ABS) unit, one or more of the internal valves may seize. In a braking event that uses the ABS, a seized valve would increase brake pedal travel and reduce braking ability.

Risk. A sudden reduction of braking performance may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, flush and clean the ABS hydraulic unit using high grade brake fluid, free of charge. If the inspection shows that the valves may seize, the ABS unit will be replaced. The recall began on July 21, 2015. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-15-004.

Defect. MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 45,988 MY 2005-2007 ENDEAVOR, GALANT, ECLIPSE COUPE, AND MY 2007 ECLIPSE SPYDER VEHICLES. THE BRACKET THAT IS THE ATTACHMENT POINT FOR THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAP MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY FORMED DURING A METAL STAMPING PROCESS. THE PROCESS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE METAL TO HAVE A SPLIT IN THE AREA WHERE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK STRAPS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT THE FUEL TANK IS FULL AND THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SEVERE COLLISION, THE BRACKET MAY BREAK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO DROP DOWN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A FUEL LEAK.

Risk. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK STRAP MOUNTING BRACKET HAS SPLITTING BEYOND A SPECIFIC LIMIT. VEHICLES WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE SPLITTING WILL BE REPAIRED USING A REINFORCEMENT CAP, A SPECIAL STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE, AND A RIVET TO REINFORCE THE FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKET. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.

Defect. ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, ONE OF FOUR SEALS INSIDE THE MASTER CYLINDER MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IMPROPERLY. AS A RESULT, THE MASTER CYLINDER MAY UNEXPECTEDLY BY-PASS HYDRAULIC BRAKING FORCE PRESSURE AND ALLOW A LONGER THAN NORMAL PEDAL STROKE.

Risk. SHOULD THIS CONDITION OCCUR, THE BRAKING DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE MAY INCREASE AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN JUNE 28, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-888-648-7820.

Defect. CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH A DEFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY.

Risk. THE BOOSTER BODY COULD SEPARATE DUE TO IMPROPER CRIMP JOINTS, RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPAIR THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED BY TELEPHONE ON MAY 24, 2005, TO STOP DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.

We recently went to the dealership to have a recalled brake booster fixed and the brake booster is failing again.

Vehicle went in for repair in March of 2025 for an open recall for the brakes. 3 months later the vehicle is experiencing brake issues related to a brake booster/master cylinder that was also recalled. Replacement is needed asap

My in insurance has a recall page and when I went on there. My car was on there for ABS. My ABS light been on since I got the car 6 months ago

There was a previous recall on the anti braking system. Prior to the recall I had noticed that the ABS light was always coming on & I also noticed the brakes were at times seemed to be grabbing metal & not working . I took the car in to get fixed with the recall notice. Everything was fine until now the ABS light has been coming on frequently again & it is doing the same exact thing when braking. It seems when the light is off & the brakes start to not work properly then the light comes on & they do work. I never know when this is going to happen when the brakes fail. There is no loss of brake fluid. The recall repair was done at Ricart in Columbus Ohio. The problem was confirmed by the recall that this was faulty.

As with the early 2000's recall the paint (Clear coat) on Kalapana Black (Code X13) has started to peel off and Mitsubishi refused to address the issue. My vehicle has less than 75k miles and has been garaged most of its life as it is not a daily driver and I am the only owner. Mitsubishi recalled the earlier years but stopped it I believe in 2002 being the latest year but seems they continued the painting practices.

THE TOP COAT, CLEAR COAT, OF PAINT HAS BEGUN TO SEPARATE FROM THE BLACK PAINT. THIS IS HAPPENING VERY RAPIDLY AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD OVER THE TOP OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS IN LATE 90'S EARLY 2000'S FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON FOR THE EXACT SAME COLOR OF VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE FELL AND RUBBED ON THE SERPENTINE SPELL UNTIL IT ATE A HOLE IN I. I AND THE TRACTION CONTROL IS ENGUAGEING AND DISENGAGEING ON ITS OWN ANS MY AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE FLASHING UNAVAILABLE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY THAT THE BRAKES COULD FAIL IF THE ABS IS ACTIVATED. MITSUBISHI REFERRED ME TO A DEALER (THE ONLY DEALER IN NEVADA). THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T MAKE ANY REPAIRS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE CAR. SO, I CALLED MITSUBISHI, AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO REPAIR SOLUTION AVAILABLE. SO I REQUESTED A LOANER, SINCE MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T SUPPLY LOANERS, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR UNLESS THE BRAKES FAIL. UNBELIEVABLE! TWO MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES FAILED AFTER ABS SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED IN THE RAIN AND I SLID THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON A CITY STREET AT 45MPH AFTER TRYING TO STOP USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR THE TOW (BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS DISABLED) AND FOR STORAGE (BECAUSE THEY ALLEGEDLY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR). MITSUBISHI OFFERED NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN'T MAKE THE REPAIR. I TOLD MITSUBISHI ABOUT MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, AND THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. THEY SAID THEY AREN'T AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS, AND THAT ONLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN OPT TO TOW/REPAIR THE CAR OR SUPPLY A LOANER. SO NOW MY CAR SITS IN THE PARKING LOT, BROKEN DOWN WITH NO BRAKES, WITH A RECALL NOTICE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY WANT ME TO TOW THE CAR 45 MILES OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, OR DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO BRAKES. THEN THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR THE LOANER. AND THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR STORAGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SLOW TO RESPOND AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. WHILE TRAVELING AT AN UNKNOWN RATE OF SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND DID NOT RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE TWICE. THE DRIVER DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM EITHER CRASH, BUT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK PAINS. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. DURING THE FIRST CRASH, FOUR TIRES SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. DURING THE SECOND CRASH, THE TWO FRONT TIRES FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION.

WHILE PERFORMING A STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST ALL PRESSURE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DID STOP BUT TOOK LONGER TO DO SO.

BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND THE ONE AND A HALF WEEKS THEY CLAIMED WAS THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE RECALL (15V337) STATES THE HYDRAULIC UNIT WILL BE FLUSHED, CLEANED AND INSPECTED. THE DEALER INDICATED THEY WERE ONLY TESTING THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY DRIVING IT AND WHEN THE INCIDENT DID NOT PRODUCE THE SAME RESULT, THAT WAS THE END OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY UNTIL I RECEIVED A CERTIFIED LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2015 AND IT IS NOW THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2015. THE MANUFACTURER IS OBVIOUSLY DELAYING DOING THE APPROPRIATE INSPECTION AND REPAIR WHILE THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE CONTINUES TO AFFECT MANY CONSUMERS.

WHEN I DEPRESSED MY BREAK PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND HAD VERY LITTLE, IF ANY REACTION. ALSO, THERE WAS A STRANGE SOUND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER IN GOODLETTSVILLE, TN TO BE DIAGNOSED BUT THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. I DECLINED THE SERVICE. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN, WITH MY BREAKS GOING BACK TO NORMAL AFTER I STOP AND RESTART THE CAR. HOWEVER, A FEW WEEKS AGO THIS HAPPENED AND THEY HAVE NOT GONE BACK TO NORMAL. AFTER FINDING THE RECALL, I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP NEAREST ME BUT THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIX IT YET BECAUSE THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS, AND IT IS MY JOB, YET BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING, TO BRING A CAR THAT I WILL NOT DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO THEM.
