Consumer Description

CAR IS A 2000 ECLIPSE, BLACK. IN 2006 THE CLEAR COAT BEGAN TO CRACK THEN FLAKE OFF. STARTED ON ROOF THEN STARTED ON HOOD, TRUNK, AND PANELS ABOVE WINDOWS. THE FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS ARE NOT AFFECTED. WITHIN 6 MONTHS THE SPOTS GREW LARGER AND THE CLEAR COAT ON THE ROOF IS ABOUT 70% GONE. CALLED MITSUBISHI, THEY SAID GO TO DEALER. I WENT, THEY TOOK PICTURES. MITSUBISHI SAID AT FIRST THEY WENT BY A CASE BY CASE BASIS, DIDN'T MATTER THAT IT WAS A 2000 MODEL. THEN THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE IT WAS TOO FAR OUT OF WARRANTY. CONTRADICTING STATEMENT FROM THE SAME REPRESENTATIVE. THERE HAVE TV REPORTS DONE ON THE PAINT PROBLEM AND THERE ARE WEBSITES DEDICATED TO THIS PROBLEM. MYMITSUBISHIPAINTPROBLEM.COM THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS MITSUBISHI IS IGNORING. *JB
