My 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse continues to be an unsafe vehicle. Incidences that I assumed were part of regular wear and tear are actually related to multiple recalls. When I shared this information with Mitsubishi, they decided it was not their fault, without even looking at my car. I provided numerous materials to support my conclusion, in addition to offering photographic evidence of my most recent situation. I am disappointed with both my vehicle and the customer service I received while trying to resolve my concern.
Looked online about safety recalls on my car but there hasn't been any accidents to the recalls I found.
Cracked dash due to sun rays. This deficiency could result in injury during an accident. New parts are hard to find and expensive; used parts are defective as well.
The paint on my black 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse is peeling off for the second time within a 2 year period. I had it paint in January 2006 by a local mistubishi dealership in clearwater, FL but they only painted the hood, roof and trunk at the time. So now over the last few months the doors and side panels are starting to flake and discolor. I contacted the manufactuer and they told me my warranty had run out so there was out of their hands. They don't believe its a defect, but the paint is going and I'm still making payments on the car. I just thing that is wrong.
Car is a 2000 Eclipse, black. In 2006 the clear coat began to crack then flake off. Started on roof then started on hood, trunk, and panels above windows. The front and back bumpers are not affected. Within 6 months the spots grew larger and the clear coat on the roof is about 70% gone. Called Mitsubishi, they said go to dealer. I went, they took pictures. Mitsubishi said at first they went by a case by case basis, didn't matter that it was a 2000 model. Then they told me they wouldn't help me because it was too far out of warranty. Contradicting statement from the same representative. There have tv reports done on the paint problem and there are websites dedicated to this problem. Mymitsubishipaintproblem. Com this is not an isolated incident. There are thousands of customers Mitsubishi is ignoring.
I purchased the vehicle in Mar 2002. Around the end of 2004 the vehicle's paint job began to oxidize. The condition worsened until the whole hood, top and trunk lid paint were thoroughly oxidized. The tops of each door, the front and rear fenders are also damaged.
The clear coat paint on my black 2000 Eclipse is defective. The paint is disappearing on the entire car. It is down to the metal on the roof causing major rust. This is a very serious problem that is affecting Mitsubishi owners across the country. Mitsubishi denies any problem and refuses to fix our cars.
The contact owns a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The contact's vehicle is black. Over a period of time, the paint began chipping in a very progressive manner. The dealer stated that when the vehicle was manufactured it did not have a clear coating, which was causing the paint to abnormally chip. The manufacturer did not assist because the vehicle exceeded its warranty. The failure mileage was 50,000 and current mileage was 99,000.
Cracked dashboard.
My dashboard is cracking all over and the paint is oxidizing (no clear coat?). I have only used clear coat safe products on my car and these conditions started at the end of 2002 and beginning of 2003. My car is a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse gt and problems like the above should not occur for several years!.
