Two problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse based on all problems reported for the 2000 Eclipse.
1) a common issue according to the forums and facebook groups, the strut towers rust through which presents a safety issue when considering that the suspension is connected to the steering which could put an individual or others on the road at risk 2) yet another common issue, the dash and associated bezels crack over time. There has been no solution or alternative to complete replacement from anyone, including (I'm sure) Mitsubishi.
The car makes a sound in the rear when I make a turn. The turning radius is very bad. I wouldn't do a u turn with it. The other issue is that the a/c stopped working on a very hot day. When I turned on the a/c the car turned off this almost caused a accident due to the sudden stop. The dashboard is all cracked. Other than that the car seems good. Everything else about the car I do like. The paint is peeling off and there seems to be some rust.
