Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Mitsubishi Eclipse

On August 8, 2003, my son purchased a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 97037 miles, from ed emadi-owner, south bay auto-dl#32493. We purchased the car for $8,849. 21. On August 11, 2003, the engine blow because there was no oil in the car, and the dealer stated that the car had been serviced and it was in good mechanical condition. Just this week the warranty investigator said that the oil leak was there before we purchased the car, and that they will not be replacing the engine, and that the car is the dealers problems. Needless to say, the dealer does not want to do the moral thing and give us back our hard earned money, nor does he wants to replace the engine. This same dealer, loan us an unsafe car that we found out that it has been declared by the state of California as a salvaged. The car is a 1991 Honda, VIN #jhmcb7645mc075578. Last Saturday, on the way home from san jose, CA, to vallejo, CA, the brakes were starting to give out on the car. This week, I could not stop the car and ran into a wall to stop it. Thank god, I was not hurt. I then called the dealer and told him what had happen, and the only thing he told me that I will pay for any damages done to the car. He had the car towed and stated that he would charge me for the tow and the repairs. Now he wants me to compensate him for putting my life, and the life of my family at risk while driving his unsafe, salvaged car.

While having the vehicle serviced at the dealership, they indicated the engine head gasket had a oil leak and needed to be replaced. Common problem. It was discovered that the wrong oil filter was placed on the vehicle.

My car has been making a strange sound, so I took it in to the dealership yesterday. They discovered that I was out of oil- though there have been no obvious oil leaks, and the oil light has never come on. Due to this, extensive damage was found through out the engine. I was told that the oil lights don't always work.

My 2002 Eclipse started to sound very loud. Itook it back to the dealer. They blew me off . They never checked the car in the shop but they said the car was ok. One week later the engine ceased due to lack of oil. They refused to fix the car because of "customer negligence". They state that as a result of thier investigation the did not leak or burn the 3 quarts of "missing oil". Threfore where could it be. This obviosly the oil was never there . Mitsubishi does not want to admit this even thogh it is the only possible thing that could have happened. Please help . Ispent 30000 dollars on this car and cant afford to fix it. Nlm.

Oil leaking from head gasket. Oil guy told me it could be a factory defect because he has seen this problem in the same models. However, the dealer refused to fix it with no-charge claiming warranty was expired in Aug 2001. We have realized the leak in October 2001. Dealer asks $600 to fix it.
