Consumer Description

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT, CRASH OR INJURY. I PURCHASED A BLACK 2003 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE, IN 2005, WHICH HAD 40000 MI ON NIT. THE PAINT WAS OK AT TIME OF PURCHASE. UNKNOWN TO ME, MITSUBISHI VEHICLES FROM 1999-2004 HAVE DEFECTIVE PRIMER WHICH CAUSES THE PAINT TO FLAKE OFF IN LARGE QUANTITIES. I HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR WHEN THE PAINT STARTING COMING OFF. THE MANUFACTURERS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY FIXES SOME OF THE VEHICLES. MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. I BELIEVE THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTIVE PAINT.*AK
