Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY USED 1998 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE IN MARCH OF 2003. IN JUNE OF 2003, MY DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BROKE. MY WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER IT AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $137 TO FIX IT. I SAID NO WAY AND JUST STARTED CRAWLING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE. IN NOVEMBER 2003, MY PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE LEAVING ME WITH NO WAY TO GET INTO MY CAR. STILL YET, MY WARRENTY WOULDN'T COVER THIS. THEY SAID THIS WAS DUE TO "NEGLIGENCE". BOTH DOOR HANDLES WERE BROKE IN THE SAME PLACE AND ALL I DID WAS OPEN THE DOOR AND THEY WERE BROKE. THEY ARE MADE OF ALL PLASTIC. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY 1998 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE'S HAVE HAD BROKEN DOOR HANDLES. I AM PAYING $252 A MONTH FOR THIS CAR WITH AN EXTENDED WARRENTY THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORTH ANYTHING. *AK
