NHTSA Complaint #10124875 — 1999 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE

RECENTLY PURCHASED USED VEHICLE FOR COLLEGE STUDENT, WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD. HAS STALLED WITH NO WARNING WHILE OPERATING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 30 DAYS (5/15/05-6/10/05). MY SON STATES HE WAS TAKEN TOTALLY BY SURPRISE BY SUDDEN FAILURE. HE WAS MAKING A TURN AND REALIZED THAT HIS POWER STEERING WAS NOT OPERATING, ONLY TO NOTICE THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ON. HE NEARLY LOST CONTROL, BUT WAS ABLE TO "MUSCLE" THE CAR THROUGH THE TURN. DEALER HAS INSPECTED THE CAR, NO PROBLEMS FOUND.
