SHE STATES THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT GOING TO INVESTIGATE HER CLAIMS. *KB THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED 3 RECALLS FOR HER MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR FOR HER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED THE FAILURES OF THE RECALLS. THE COLUMN SWITCH WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE UNIT WOULD NOT SELF-CANCEL NOR WOULD IT CANCEL MANUALLY. THE SWITCH WOULD NOT RESET IN AN OFF POSITION WHICH CAUSED THE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON ONCE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED FREQUENTLY, EVEN WHEN TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. IN NOVEMBER OF 2007, THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL DUE TO CORROSION. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE FUSE AND IT WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 99V333001 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY:CABLES). THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE BATTERY CABLE BROKE. THIS WAS THE NEGATIVE POST. THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN ORDERED, AND IT WILL BE REPAIRED WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART ARRIVES. SHE CALLED AND CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS, AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS.

I HAVE 2 COMPLAINTS. MY WHEELS WERE ALSO DENTED AND FRACTURED UPON INSPECTION AND HAD VISIBLE WEAR TO MY TIRES. TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES HAD STATED TO GO TO THE DEALER AND CHECK ON IT. THEY OF COURSE SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND JUST TO BUY NEW RIMS AT $385.00 EACH OR TIRES. OF COURSE, AFTER BUYING TIRES A FEW TIMES, I JUST BOUGHT AFTER MARKET RIMS. THE SECOND COMPLAINT, IS I HAVE HAD VISIBLE CORROSION ON THE BATTERY CABLES ON MY CAR FOR YEARS AND ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A REASON SO MUCH IS GATHERING, THEY ADVISED NO. WELL, I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND STILL AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS SUCH AS: AIR CONDITIONER GOES OUT WITH THE LIGHT BLINKING, CAR DOES NOT START, OR WHILE DRIVING IT WILL STALL AS WELL AS RUN VERY SLUGGISH. I HAVE ASKED REPEATEDLY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM AND...

WHILE HAVING THE BUMPER FIXED MY COLLISION SHOP DISCOVERED THE WIRING HARNESS IS MELTING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 99V333001 -- RECALL DATE : NOVEMBER 23, 1999 -- COMPONENT: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY:CABLES -- EXCEPT THAT I DO NOT HAVE A V-6 ENGINE. I BELIEVE ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED TO COVER ECLIPSE'S THAT DO NOT HAVE THE V-6 ENGINE AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND POSES THE SAME RISKS AS THE EARLIER RECALL.*JB
