NHTSA Complaint #10152924 — 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE

I HAVE A 2001 ECLIPSE GT (V6) AND I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION TWICE ALREADY. I LIVE IN MINOT ND WERE IT SNOWS. THE FIRST TIME MY TRANSMISSION JACKED ON ME I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THEIR WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND SO WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN MY TIRES SLID A LIKE AND THE GRAB THE PAYMENT AS THAT HAPPENED I HEARD A BIG THUMP. MY CAR FELT LIKE AN AXLE MESS UP OR THE CLUTCH. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME DO TO THE LACK OF MOVEMENT FROM MY VEHICLE. I WAS NOT THAT FOR FROM ME HOUSE SO I DROVE IT HOME BUT ONE BLOCK A WAY MY TRANNY ENDED UP BLOWING A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE. THE HOLE SIZE WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SOFT BALL. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 15 MPH. SO GET HOME AND I CHECK IT OUT. I FIND GEARS ALL SHATTERED INSIDE AND WHAT EVER HAD FALLEN OUT. SO NOW I BUY A USED TRANNY WITH SOME 65000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE HAD THAT ONE FOR A BOUT ONE YEAR WITH PUTTING 7000 MILES ON THE TRANNY. AGAIN THERE IS SNOW ON THE GROUND. I AM GETTING OFF OF WORK AND THERE IS SNOW ON MY TIRES. THE MANY ROAD IS CLEARED OF SNOW SO I DRIVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND MY TIRES SPIN AS I HIT THE PAVEMENT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THE TRANNY SLIPS IN GEAR SO I GOT IT TO THE SHOP AND COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD SHATTERED THE SPIDER GEARS. I HAVE SPENT 3000 DOLLARS ON TWO TRANNIES WITH IN ONE YEAR SPAN. *NM
