NHTSA Complaint #10233753 — 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE

BOUGHT A 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE NEW. ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER NOTICED THE PAINT WAS STARTING TO COME OFF THE ROOF. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID SORRY IT IS NOT COVERED, IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO HOT TEXAS SUN. THEY DID NOT EVEN LOG THE COMPLAINT. THAT DEALERSHIP CLOSED LATER ON. NOW MY PAINT IS OFF OVER MOST OF THE CAR AND IS VERY UGLY. IT IS DOWN TO THE METAL. I AM EMBARRASSED TO DRIVE IT BUT TELL ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN THAT WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MITSUBISHI REFUSED TO REPAINT IT. ALSO ALL THE DASHES CRACK IN THEM. MINE WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS. THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BLACK PAINT ON MANY OF THE 1999-2005 FOR THERE NOT TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS ALMOST 9 YEARS OLD AND STILL HAS LESS THE 60,000 MILES ON IT. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ALL OF US DRIVERS WITH BLACK MITSUBISHES. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER. *TR
