2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE Unknown Or Other Problems

I'VE PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2 ECLIPSES W/ NO PROBLEMS, THIS ONE HOWEVER HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A LEMON. 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT V6. IN ADDITION TO THE CLUTCH WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED 1 YR AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAVE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF PROBLEMS W/ PARTS THAT SHOULD NEVER NEED TO BE REPLACED, NONE HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY SWAY BAR TWICE, THE A/C FAILED, THE ANTENNA EMBEDDED IN THE REAR WINDOW FAILED, ONE OXYGEN SENSOR, THE MIDDLE REAR BRAKE LIGHT WIRING BROKE, 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILED. AND THE WORST IS I WAS GOING THROUGH A HEADLIGHT A MONTH ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS HAD ACTUALLY MELTED THE TO THE CONNECTORS ON BOTH SIDES! AND NOW I MAY HAVE AN ELECTRICAL FAULT OR FAULTY VALVE IN MY A/C UNIT CAUSING MY HEAT TO KICK ON WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED ON. *TR

I HAVE A DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB ON MY BLACK 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. ALTHOUGH GARAGE KEPT, THE PAINT IS SELF-DESTRUCTING AND TURNING WHITE ON THE ROOF, HOOD AND BACK SIDES PANELS. ALSO, LEAK IN WINDOW OF DRIVERS SIDE DOOR THAT CAUSES 3 INCH PUDDLES OF RAIN TO ACCUMULATE WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD. *JB

THE 2000+ MITUBISHI ECLIPSE THE DASH BOARDS ARE HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH CRACKING. WE WANT THERE TO BE A RECALL SO WE CAN GET PROPERLY MADE DASHES. *JB

I HAVE A BLACK 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT AND THE CLEAR COAT IS FADING AND IS TURNING THE CAR WHITE. I HAVE FOUND 7 PAGES OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON DEADECLIPSE.COM. MY DEALER REFUSES TO REPAINT IT BECAUSE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER EVEN THOUGH A BODY SHOP HAS TOLD ME THE CAR NEVER GOT REPAINTED. *JB

2001 ECLIPSE RS BLACK PAINT JOB FADING REAL BAD IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A POKE-A-DOT CAR OF WHITE AND BLACK EVERY PANEL ON MY CAR IS FADING, HOOD TOP SIDE PANELS TRUNK IS REAL BAD AND ALL OTHERS THE VEHICLE IS IN NC AND I KNOW A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THE SAME CAR AND ITS HAPPENED TO THEM TO, AN 01 ECLIPSE GS I THINK. *NM

NO INJURIES: A BLOW OUT WITHIN A 2 YR PERIOD, FRONT LEFT TIRE FLAT 13 TIMES, REPLACED THAT RIM 3 TIMES. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, LEFT SIDE OF HOOD, LEFT REAR BY TRUNK DOES NOT ALIGN PROPERLY TO THE RIGHT SIDE. ALREADY HAD A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN MY LEFT STRUT SCRATCHES BY LEFT TIRE STARTED OUT SMALL NOW ARE 5 INCHES WIDE. *AK

THE FIRST WEEK OF BUYING THE CAR I NOTICED A LITTLE SCRATCH BY THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. THEN I STARTED HEARING LITTLE SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN I WAS REVERSING COMING FROM THE SAME LEFT TIRE. THEN I NOTICED THE RIM WAS BENT I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I WAS HITTING CURBS & ROAD HAZARD. MONTHS LATER THE SCRATCH AT THE BOTTOM BY THE FOG LIGHTS WAS GETTING BIGGER AND DEEP THE TIRE KEPT LOSING AIR AND THOSE SPRINGING SOUND NOISES I STILL HEARD. MAKE THE LONG STORY SHORT IT IS 2 YEARS LATER THE DEEP GASHES FROM THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS NOW ALL THE WAYAROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE FOG LIGHTS ALMOST REACHING THE MIDDE.I WENT THRU 2 TIRES NO BLOW OUTS THANK GOD 3 RIMS AND ONE WAS A REPLACEMENT THE TIRE KEEPS LEAKING AIR THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE...

ALSO I FOUND SHATTERED GLASS UNDER THE REAR SEATS, WHICH APPEARS TO BE REAR WINDSHIELD GLASS. MY CAR ALWAYS PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND MY RIGHT SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. DT

SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON & OFF SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST 6000 MILES THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS REPLACED SEATS FOR THE SIDE AIRBAGS THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON & OFF THE CAR HAS RECENTLY BEEN IN A COLLISION THE FRONT AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY BEFORE I PICKED UP THE CAR THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE DURAM? BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS COMING ON & THEY HAD PUT THE WRONG ONE IN FOR ONLY FRONT AIRBAGS? I STILL BELIEVE IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAD BEFORE THE CAR WAS WRECKED. THE SECOND COMPLAINT THE WHEELS (RIMS) BEND AT EVERY 2000 MILES WE EVEN HAD A BLOW OUT AT 10 MILES AN HOUR IN TOWN. *AK

MOLDINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON EACH SIDE. (LEFT AND RIGHT) LAST TIME THE DEALER CEMENT GLUED THEM TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR ONLY TO FLY OFF AGAIN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WITH TOP DOWN THIS IS ABLE TO CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED MITSUBISHI EVERY TIME AND TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND WILL CONTINUE UNLESS THEY FIND OUT WHY THIS DEFECT EXISTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST MITSUBISHI DEALER LOCATED IN BRANDON, FLORIDA. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR ON THEIR LOT SINCE THE LAST INCIDENT (JULY 6 OR7TH) I DEMANDED THEY KEEP IT UNTIL THEY COULD SATISFACTORILY FIX THE PROBLEM SO THAT I WOULD NOT BE CAUSING INJURY TO ANOTHER PASSENGER ON THE HIGHWAY OR TO SOMEONE IN MY VEHICLE. APRIL 9TH FIRST SIDE FLEW OFF (RIGHT) 4/11 SERVICE TOOK OFF LEFT SIDE AS IT WAS...
