Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2003 SILVER ECLIPSE GS WITH 5000 MILES IN JUNE 2003. WITH IN 12 MONTHS, PAINT WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAR AND FLAKING OFF EXPOSING PRIMER COAT. THIS DETERIORATION PROGRESSED QUICKLY AND AFTER 5 YEARS HOOD, ROOF AND REAR QUARTER PANELS ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY DOWN TO PRIMER. I AM FILING NOW TO HOPEFULLY RAISE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS TO THE POINT WHERE SOMEBODY REALIZES THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT A SYSTEMIC DEFECT FOR WHICH MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR
