Consumer Description

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE STEERING MECHANISM IN MY 2003 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT - ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2004 - I WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK AND MY STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME STIFF AND I WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR ENOUGH TO GET TO MY HOME. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE INTERMITTENT. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND I CALLED MITSUBISHI WHO HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY CAR BACK AND IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP; HOWEVER, I FIND THIS ISSUE TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF CONSUMERS OF THIS PRODUCT. I DID RESEARCH PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE AND SEE THE SAME ISSUE WAS NOTED UNDER THE COMPONENTS OF STEERING WHEEL AND HANDLE BAR FOR THE 2003 ECLIPSE PRODUCT. *NM
