NHTSA Complaint #10054403 — 2003 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE

HI, I BOUGHT MY ECLIPSE IN SEPTEMBER 2003 AND A MONTH LATER ONE OF MY EXTERNAL FOG LIGHTS BROKE WITHOUT ANY REASON, I WENT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD ME THAT MUST BE A ROCK HITTING THE FOG LIGHT AND THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NEW CAR WARRANTY, ALSO TOLD ME THE PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT WAS $160.00 WHICH IT SEEMS TO ME A RIDICULOUS PRICE FOR A FOG LIGHT SO I WENT BACK THINKING WAS MY BAD LUCK IT HAPPEN TO ME, NOW HERE I AM A YEAR AND HALF AFTER THE INCIDENT WITH MY FOG LIGHT STILL BROKEN SINCE I HAVE HAD NOT THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT. BUT NOW I AM SEEING A LOT OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT MINE AND I THINK THOSE FOG LIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NOT COST TO THE OWNER. *CB
