DASH CRACKED IN HALF (DEGRADATION). I FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALMOST EVERYBODY WITH THE MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE (MINE IS A 2001). MITSUBISHI WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

THE CAR IS A 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. THERE WERE NO SPECIFIC EVENTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE, BUT THE PAINT ON THE TRUNK AND ROOF OF THE CAR HAS OXIDIZED AND APPEARS TO HAVE DISSOLVED. THE CAR IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, AND WE WILL NEED TO HAVE IT REPAINTED ON OUR OWN. BASED UPON MY INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. *AK

MY CALAPANA BLACK 2001 ECLIPSE GT STARTED TO FADE A YEAR AGO. I NOTICED THAT MOST BLACK MITSUBISHI CARS STARTS TO FADE IN 2-3 YEARS. I HAVE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO COMPLAIN HERE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY DONE SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER BUT NEVER HAD A RESPONSE. I ALSO HAVE EXACT PROBLEM AS COMPLAIN NO. ODI ID: 100511429 NHTSA COMPLAINT ID: 448638. AS MENTIONED, THE CAR HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR (WORST WHEN COLD), STUTTERS WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING, AND MAKES A CONTINUOUS RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGED. I COMPLAINED TO MITSUBISHI DEALER MANY TIMES BUT THEY REFUSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE. *JB
