1992 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, NEW ENGINE, AND COOLING SYSTEM. **CC *NM

THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK. THE CONSUMER WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT A RECALL RELATED TO THIS FAILURE AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING DEFECTIVE PARTS (RECALL # 98V0069001). THE TIRE BELTS OF THREE TIRES BROKE. THE TIRES WERE UNDER ONE YEAR OLD AND HAD 37,000 MILES ON THEM. THE DEALER REFUSED TO GIVE THE CONSUMER A CREDIT FOR THE DEFECTIVE TIRES (GOODYEAR CONCORDE) ( REFERENCE# 10011917-NVS216GH). *SCC *NLM

OWNER REPLACED TRANSFER CASE BECAUSE OF LOCK UP. MITSUBISHI CLAIMS THE RECALL WAS DONE AND THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE WHEN IN FACT THE PART WAS ONLY INSPECTED AND NOT DEEMED A RISH AT THAT TIME. THEY ARE NOW REFUSING SERVICE UNLESS THE BROKEN PART IS PLACED BACK ON THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP.

CAR WILL GO FOR A VERY SHORT DISTANCE WHEN YOU TAKE OFF, THEN CAR WON'T MOVE WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. TOOK TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING INTERNAL IN THE TRANSMISSION. JUST TO TAKE IT APART WOULD COST $375. AFTER THAT, IT COULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $1100 TO $2200 TO FIX.THIS CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. BY THE TIME WE FINISH PUTTING MONEY INTO IT, WE WILL HAVE SPENT MORE FOR REPAIRS THAN WE DID TO BUY THE CAR. IF THERE ARE ANY PARTS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BEFORE I PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO THIS CAR.*AK

DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE DAMAGED PARTS THAT CAUSED OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO MOVE. VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT DEALERSHIP. PART FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP. *AK THE PASSENGER LAP BELT FOR SEAT BELT FAILED. *YH

THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A WHINING NOISE. IT HAS NO POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP AND DOES NOT GAIN ANY SPEED. BOTH TIMES COMPUTER FAILED I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING AND WOULD NOT RESTART.
