Other Fuel System Problems of Mitsubishi Eclipse

Electrical cable for fuel pump caught fire. My daughter was able to park and exit the car safely before it combusted but it took 8 minutes for the car to basically explode. I think this is very dangerous for a family with kids or someone that wouldn't be as fast as my kid to get out of the car. We found out the same car/year has a recall but this was not issued to my specific vehicle. . Read more...

Prolonged wiring harness contact with the heat shield causes the wiring insulation to wear & ground out causing the engine to die-out. Had an iccident few days ago where the engine died out and I was in the middle of an intersection and almost got hit by oncoming traffic . This is seriously not okay and a major safety concern. Please help me.

Fuel mileage is bad and when filling up if you can it keeps clicking and smelling like fuel inside car. No lighting in car at all. Had to replace suspension as the bolts were worn. Paint chipping all over car. Cooling system keeps failing and somehow I have water keeps coming in on floor boards and the floor is soaked and stinks.

Service engine soon light came on; took car to dealership. Discoverd that filler neck has rusted out requiring replacement. This was reported to me by the dealership to be common with this model. The vehicle is a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. The filler neck has completely rusted out. The filler neck is located directly behind the rear passenger side tire. This car is only 5 years old. "pipes" should not be rusting after 5 years of use. There is no cover over the filler neck to protect it from road conditions and weather. Also appears there was no protective coating on the metal. A ccv test showed a strong odor from the filler neck. All other tests on the car passed. More tests to be run once filler neck replaced.
