I have owned my car for a year & have had a number of issues. It is scary that a car that is only a year old would have so many problems. My brakes started sqeaking after about three months. I plan on taking it in soon but it if 30 minutes away & trying to fit going to the shop into my schedule is very difficult.

On March 31, 2001, my husband and I purchased a 2001 Eclipse for our 17 year old son, to carry him through highschool and college. Around 3 hours later he braked to avoid hitting 2 dogs, the left front brake locked up and the others did nothing. This caused the car to swing around at 180 degrees and go backwards into a ditch hitting a steel culbert. The police stated that the cause of the accident was the brakes. If working properly, the car could have been controlled. No ticket was given to our son. He and his friend has neck and back pain. Hopefully it will heal. The trama is still there for our son I know. The thought of what could have happened is horrific if he had been by a bluff, on a major interstate or etc. Now the car is wrecked, and the expense is ours, this was a gift, he is a responsible child, the brakes that was put on this car could have caused much more damage to these children. I am unsettled on what to do, I am checking into it, hopefully someone will take this serious enough to put a stop to this problem. We thank god for dustin and his friends life, but the injury's are there and it is very tramatic. We are thankful not to have been at the point of a funeral for one or both. Now dusty is shy to drive, believe me, this does tramitize one. The point is, I need help to get this fixed, the brakes, the car, and it not to happen again to anyone, it is to late if they are killed. As a parent I am horrified, does these manufactors not have to be responsible for their parts, no matter the age one life is to much. Please help if you can, I will use what ever avenue I have to for help. Thank you, sincerely -- tina l. Guyse.
