Door problems of the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Both door handles fell off during normal operation. I can not get in my car. The dealership informed me the parts are 73. 55 each and the labor would be 250 dollars. The cheap plastic fell off and they want me to buy more of it! this is not covered under warranty. I feel ripped off by Mitsubishi and will never buy another one. Oh and by the way my car doors dripped the same black tar substance other consumers have complained about. The dealership in charlotte nc did correct this problem w/ no charge.

Passenger outside door handle fell off while opening the door. Dealer was not notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further information.

Both outside door handles have broken off in the process of normal operation. Materials are poor quality.

Driver's side door handle fell off while getting into vehicle. Dealer contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.

Passenger door handle came off when opened normally, 2 weeks later drivers side came off under same conditions, very poor material or engineering.

Adhesive was dripping from passenger's door and driver's door to bottom of door panel. Dealer had no solution.

Mitsubishi said both doors need to be torn down and all the glue/insulation removed and recoated and it would take at least a week and expensive. My car can't be the only one this is happening to. I have to keep duct tape on the bottom of both doors to keep it from running into the car and outside of the car. I'm extemely upset. Dt.

While consumers daughter was getting into automobile, she attempted to open door and both handles fell off. . Consumer stated the temperature was very hot and the door handles just fell off, also the windows will not roll up.

Door handles are poorly designed. They break very easily and can not be opened from outside in case of accident.

Both doors are leaking a glue like substance, and it is causing doors to stick. Consumer feels that in an accident consumer may not be able to exit vehicle. Consumer has contacted dealer 5 times, and each time dealer cleans off glue substance, then, within a week sticking starts again. Please provide any further information.

My car is leaking black sealing on both doors. The black sealant melts from somewhere inside the door plastic cover and comes out on the bottom. It hardens and looks like sticky tar. Tried to clean it, but it will not scrub off or scrape off cleanly. First time I saw little black spots, I brought it up to the dealership to ask if this would be a part of my warrenty coverage. I read my warrenty book many times and I couldn't find that type of defect any where listed. The guy told me that it's not covered under warrenty, and since the spots were so little, he told me to go home and clean it off and the spots won't come back. Next summer came around and it got worse. Now it looks like a bunch of glumped tar all over the bottom panel of the doors. I brought it back to the dealership and the service tech told me if I had brought it under warrenty, they could have repaired it at no charge. But because I'm over my warrenty limit, I would have to pay a little over $200. 00 per door for repairs. I advised him the prior year I had came and asked, one of there service techs told me it was "not" under warrenty that's why the problem was never fixed. He stated there was nothing he could do. I am extremely upset, that I was given false info at first and now I can't even get my doors fixed unless I pay out of my pocket for a defect that is not mine. I hope that there will be a resolution to this problem better than what was offered at the dealership.

Both doors leak water onto door sill. All seals replaced 3 times by dealer. Leak still occurs. If car is jacked up on one side water leaks through speaker cover onto floor. Hopless to fix correctly?.

Black sealant dripping from bottom of both interior door panels onto sill plates. No safety defect (s) listed in the summary.

Door on driver side leaks sealant-have taken to dealer 4 times. 1st excuse was the heat was melting it (s. Texas)--it's not that hot anymore. . . . Also, stereo cd player is not playing cd's--it spits them out. Will take to dealer again.
