Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH, THE ENGINE DIED. I LUCKILY WAS SAFELY ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE. MY DEALERSHIP THINKS IT IS THE CONTROL UNIT. IT NOW STARTS, BUT THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDS REPLACING THIS ITEM TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE NOTICED ON MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THIS SAME DIFFICULTY HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY OTHER PEOPLE WITH 1995 ECLIPSES. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS (AND EXPENSIVE)CONDITION WHICH WOULD NOT LIKELY OCCUR IN OTHER VEHICLES WITHOUT A PRE-EXISTING PROBLEM WITH MANUFACTURING. *AK
