Vehicle stalled in heavy traffic and would not re-start. Upon troubleshooting reason for no fuel supply, found burnt connector pin on fuel pump housing. Fuel pump tested good. Heat from poor connection has melted the top of the fuel pump housing. I can smell gasoline vapors. Sparking connections or hot, melted parts in this area is a problem. I have photos to document damage. This is a fire hazard!.

Check engine light illuminated-dealer scanned code po455 - gross evap. Leak. Tech. Removed and re-installed gas cap, cleared code, ran evap. Test, drove car to set readiness test. Cost $120. 00 because pei failed and they had to remove and re-install gas cap. No other parts or fixes offered. Engine light illuminated again 3 months after inspection and so called fix. Concerned since this had been happening for approx. 2 yrs. On and off. When first happened dealership said not to worry most likely will correct itself. Went looking and found campaign 03v442000 - same problem. Called dealer was told my v. I. N. # not included in campaign, but still have problem. Tried to change form to mitubishi-keeps coming up Mitsubishi caribbean????.

The contact owns a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder. The vehicle shut off when it was started. While driving 55 mph and above, the vehicle stalled. When starting the vehicle from a complete stop, the vehicle would stall, but could eventually be restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the fuel pump and filter failed, which prevented fuel from reaching the engine. Both components were replaced, but the failure still occurred. The vehicle is currently with the dealer. The powertrain, dealer information, and purchase date were unavailable. The current mileage was 175,000 and failure mileage was 100,000.

I bought my 98 Eclipse, standard, in 2003, not even a year after I had it it died on me on the freeway one day. Turned out it was the speed sensor that got me stranded in the middle of no where. About another 6 months later the found an oil leak on the head gasket that was making me misfire, that was fixed. The car was fine until about 2 months ago when the engine went out on me because apparently the engine oil and coolant were somehow mixing, my hoses were out, so was my water pump, O2 sensor and fuel pump sensor, all at the same time. Well I had major work done everything was put in new, about a month later my driver door handle falls off, that cost me 150 dollars! one month after that, now, my speedometer stops working all of a sudden and 2 weeks later my transmission goes out. Also my clutch is going out. So now I cant drive the car any higher than 5th gear because it throws my gear out!!! since I still owe 6k on the car I have no choice but to fix it. Which is going to end up costing me, in all I've spent and am about to spend, as much as I still owe on the car!.

My 2003 Eclipse gts has been serviced for about 10 different things in a matter of 8 months. 4 seperate times I had brought it in for a jerking automatic transmission 3 times they told me nothing was the matter and it was fine. Finally the check engine light came on and they then informed me that the transmision needed to be reprogrammed. It worked for about 4 months. Also 20 days after buying the car my check engine light came on and the fuel pump and sensor needed to be replaced. 4 times I have also brought the car in becuase when the sunroof opens it jerks really bad. Every time I went there all they did was grease it and it still doesn't work properly. At 17,000 the power mirror on the driver side door stopped functioning and that was replaced. Today 8/23/04 at 20,000 I just dropped it off for the sunroof (again) and informed them my wheel shook while braking and was just notified that my rotors were bad and needed to be replaced and the cost to me was $200. 00 for a car with 20,000 miles and 1 year old. Mitsubishi states they have the best backed cars but when it comes down to it they do not back thier cars up when it matters.

While driving at any speed and when applying force to accelerator pedal without prior warning, vehicle failed to accelerate, causing loss of all power, and resulting in a near accident. Consumer has contacted dealer, dealer has replaced fuel pump several times, but problem still occurs. Please provide any further details.

Vehicle will stall while driving regardless of speed and without warning. Dealer has replaced fuelpump/ ignition switch and computer, but defect still occurs.
