Body problems of the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

My 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse leaks water one the driver and passenger sides. The water leaks from the hatchback area, especially when the car is parked on a downhill position. The hatchback area only has a small hole for the water to drain and it clogs very easily. Sometimes it doesn't even clog but somehow the water still does not drain. The service department at Mitsubishi "blows out" the hole but this is only a temporary fix. I check it at least once a week and it still floods. The flooding gets so bad that it shorts the speakers and stero equipment which is located under the seat. My car has flooded at least 50 different times since owning this vehicle and the continue to tell me that nothing can be done except for this "blowing out" the hole garbage. Don't buy this car if you have to park on any sort of hills. The last time it happened, I had at least 2 inches of water on my passenger side.

The clear coat on my car is bubbling and then flaking off. I have multiple large sections of my car with the clear coat bubbling up and flaking off. It looks horrendous. On top of that, everytime there is any moisture in the air or it rains, the door handles become dotted. My car is patriot red pearl and the dots are a pinkish red. It is very odd. The dealers will typically repaint the handles but the dots will still appear. My biggest concern right now is the quality of paint and clear coat that is applied on the car. I would really like to see my car, and many other enthusiastic Mitsubishi Eclipse owners cars taken care of. (I own a 2000 Eclipse) thanks!.

During rain the vehicle leaks through the fire wall and/or air vents into floor of vehicle.

I own a 2000 Eclipse. Every time it rains heavily I get a puddle of water in the front floor boards. This has been going on for some time now. I have taken it to several dealerships and they say it is fixed but it still leaks. There is a real bad moldy smell on the windows. When I drive it after a big rain storm, I can hear water slushing around in the door. There has to be a fix for this. I do not want to get rid of the car but. . . . I hope I do not need to make a big thing about this problem. Feel free to contact me.
