TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. THE CONTACT OWNS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A P225/50R17 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED, CAUSING A BLOWOUT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT TRAVEL OVER ANYTHING TO INFLUENCE THE TIRE FAILURE. THE TIRE HAD 42,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE.
I HAVE A 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE PURCHASED NEW WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA P235/45R18 TIRES. THE CAR HAS 23,000 MILES AND I JUST EXPERIENCED MY SECOND BLOWOUT ON THE SIDEWALL OF A TIRE. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON SUBURBAN STREETS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR
I CALLED TWICE BECAUSE AFTER HAVING MY CAR 3 MONTHS, THE BRAKES SQUEAKED AND SQUEALED BADLY WHEN SLOWLY BRAKING. I GOT THEM CLEANED, AND PAID FOR THIS. THEN I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A NEW BRAKE PAD BECAUSE THEY FOUND PROBLEMS WITH MY MODEL AND YEAR MITSUBISHI. THEY QUICKLY REPLACED MY BRAKE PADS. WELL I QUESTION THAT, BECAUSE WITHIN A WEEK THE SAME SOUNDS WERE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. *TR
ME AND MY WIFE WHERE RECENTLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT OUR ROLLED INTO A DITCH AND THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGERS SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY..I FELT LIKE OUR LIVES WHERE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR
TREAD CAME OFF OF TIRE CAUSING CRASH. *TR
BOUGHT BRAND NEW 2007 MITSUBISHI VEHICLE THAT HAD STRANGE LOUD SOUNDS OCCURRING EVERY TIME WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED SLOWLY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC EVERYDAY. TOOK VEHICLE TO MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES WITHIN THE SAME MONTH TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP STATED LOUD SOUNDS WERE DUE TO BRAKE DUST BUILDUP. HAD REQUESTED TO HAVE BRAKES REPLACED BECAUSE BRAKE DUST BUILDUP WAS UNLIKELY TO CREATE THOSE KIND OF LOUD SOUNDS AFTER BEING CLEANED BY THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES WITHIN THE SAME MONTH. MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP STILL HAS NOT RESOLVED THIS PROBLEM, AND I BELIEVED THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE.*AK
BRAKES SQUEAL ON BRAND NEW CAR. COMPANY REPLACED ROTORS AND CALIPERS ON FRONT BUT NOT REAR. CAR MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN IN REVERSE, BUT COMPANY NOT REPLACING REAR HARDWARE. SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BRAKE NOISE BECAUSE CAR IS HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE.*AK
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
