Sun Roof problems of the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Consumer states while driving vehicle without warning and at any speed, vehicle will shake, mechanic states all four rims are dented resulting in vehicle shaking. Consumer states this also causes the steering to shake. Dealer had to secure clamp due to vehicle losing antifreeze. Brake light illuminated, dealer replaced front brake pads. Sunroof would not tilt, dealer reset the sunroof glass.

Consumers daughter was driving, noticed black smoke coming through air conditioning vents, vehicle looked to be on fire, consumer took vehicle to dealer, and they could not determine what had cause the fire. Prior to the fire, the engine would start, air condition was inoperative,sunroff was inoperative, mirror were inoperative, emergency brake was inoperative needed to be readjusted,fog lights stayed on even with the key out of ignition, windshield wiper was inoperative, cargo cover was loose, there was a problem with the power steering.

Closed sunroof violently exploded with small glass going all over both passengers going 60 mph down highway. Nothing hit the car. Had had problems opening prior. Mitsubishi will not take any responsibility of possible defect. Insurance reports no evidence of object hitting. Could have been deadly in heavier traffic.

I purchased my car new from modesto Mitsubishi. At the time it was noted that the sunfroof molding was not installed correctly and was to be replaced. I started having problems with overheating, electrical malfuntions, mirrors, clock, casette door defect, also sunroof opened only while getting on highway. I took vehicle to dealer, and ended up having to rent a car for about 3 1/2 weeks while they replaced warped head. When I picked up my car, the sunroof molding still not replaced, the car stereo I was told they had to order, the sunroof I was told was ok. I worked 2 hours from home making it difficult to make arrangements for vehicle to be left again. When I did call and question the stereo I was told that it had been sent back and the and that they would have to keep it. Again I would have to rent vehicle. The most recent reccuring issue is the ungodly mold smell coming from driver and passenger door, the car cuts out while trying to excellerate onto freeway, pass vehicles, going up roads. While getting on freeway I have tried to excellerate finding myself flooring gas and not being able to achieve more than 20 miles per hour with oncoming traffic, same as going up hill. My paint has started oxidizing in white spots throughout hte vehicle and when I took to dealers 3 weeks ago, explained smell I was told the smell was from airconditioner propably and then asked how many miles I had on car regarding paint. Then aked to come back in an hour. This is after I had called earlier and told to bring in. Regardless of miles it is the same year as every other 2000 with out spots. And it has been kept kept it in my garage since April 2002 other than leaving 2 times a day to pick up child at schoo and occasional road trips. I have been driving a second vehicle. I feel very apprehensive when I go to dealership due to them saying they are not going to do anything. I have sent car in with 2 seperate people getting the run around as well.
