Consumer Description

BROUGHT USED MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 2000GT. VERIFIED THROUGH CAR CHECK FOR ANY PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE, NONE ON RECORD. CAR HAD ONE OWNER BEFORE MYSELF. THE CAR HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. IT WAS PARKED IN MY CARPORT FOR SIX MONTHS UNTIL MY DAUGHTER GOT HER DRIVERS LICENSE AT THIS TIME I KEPT IT RUNNING. ONCE DAUGHTER GOT DRIVER'S LICENSE AND STARTED TO DRIVE VEHICLE, IT WAS VIBRATING BADLY. MAINT PERSON SAID IT WAS THE TIRES AND THE RIMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. ALL THE RIMS WERE BAD. EACH RIM HAD A SMALL DENT OF SOME SORT. SEEING HOW WE NEVER REALLY DROVE THIS VEHICLE IT SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN FOR A WHILE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOW DEFECT WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *NM
