1 Steering Knuckle Spindle problem of the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Failure Date: 05/01/2002

I was sold this car as a Mitsubishi, it has a Chrysler engine one step up from a neon. If I would have wanted a neon by Chrysler I would have purchased 2 for the price I paid for my Eclipse. The lower bearings went out. I have extended warranty. At 68,000 miles the radiator cracked, computer and alternater went out causing my car to overheat immediately and the engine wouldn't restart until it had cooled. Was hard to restart. It had slick 50 treatments 4 times during its life. It also has had 3 faulty clutches.

2 Steering Knuckle Spindle problem of the 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Failure Date: 11/06/1999

The manufacturer is not wanting to repair the recall because they said the ball joint broke before I receieved the recall. Plus, they are wanting to charge me for the repair for the labor. From reading the safety recall compendium, it seems they are in the wrong and I just want my car fixed. Please help! thanks.
