MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 21, 2011.MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 2008, manufactured by MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED STARTING. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I HAD THAT REPLACED, BUT UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY STARTER HAD GONE BAD. I HAD THE STARTER REPLACED IN AUGUST OF 2011 (THAT'S TOO SOON FOR A 2008). ON JULY 16, 2012 I HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER BRAND NEW STARTER INSTALLED IN MY ECLIPSE. TWO BRAND NEW STARTERS IN LESS THAN A YEAR IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IT MAKES IT WORSE THAT THE CAR IS A 2008. I FEEL LIKE MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS PART. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mitsubishi Eclipse 2008 problem was reported in MORRISVILLE, NC.

MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 02, 2013.MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 2008, manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CONGESTED ROAD, I TRIED TO COME TO A STOP AND THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. I TRIED PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. AT THAT POINT I AVOIDED A COLLISION BY GOING ON THE MEDIAN AND DOWN SHIFTED. THE CAR, LUCKILY, IS A 5 SPEED. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS A MONTH OR SO BEFORE THAT, SO HE CHECKED TO BE SURE THE LINES WERE BLED CORRECTLY. WHICH THEY WERE. THIS WAS THE FIRST INSTANCE. TODAY WAS THE SCARIEST. IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS GOING 45 IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY AND I TRIED, TOO. THE FRONT END KIND OF HOPPED UP A FEW TIMES AS I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND E BRAKE. AGAIN, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT I DIDN'T HIT HIM. BEING WARY AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I STAY FAR BACK FROM OTHER CARS. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, I HEAR A WHINING SOUND WHEN THE PEDDLE IS PUMPED AND UNTIL THE PEDDLE COMES BACK ALL THE WAY UP. THIS YEAR SHOULD BE RECALLED, TOO. TALLAHASSEE HAS NO DEALERSHIP, SO MY CLOSET OPTION IS ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 47000 miles.

1998 3000gt sl, automatic transmission periodically loses power when shifting into passing at 50 to 60 miles per hour. Had transmission rebuilt but the problem is still happening. Any ideas to the cause? 1998 mitsubishi galant seems to be having anti-theft problems. My guess, what the car is doing, is starting up, being able to drive it, but it kind of feels funny, I get to where I'm going, and turn off the car, when I come back, it won't start. I My son has a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer LS with about 120, 000 miles on it. The blend door is stck and i need to find the blend door kit for it. Does a nybody know where i might get it! 2003 Mitsubishi Montero sport, gets cold horn goes off and finally breaks and seems to be on most of the time now. Mitsubishi won't recall to fix their garbage and want to charge you 1K to fix, but that just makes me a 1 time customer. Mitsubi No recall for the knob. There is a recall on the gearing for the air blend door on the airbox under the dash right above the gas pedal. it has improved geometry so you dont have to exert as much force on the knob for the air blend door to move. a mine is broke too. cant change it to defrost mode. just blows out cold air in my face Temp. control knob is broke. the knob to choose from feet defog, etc only turns a little bit. its all jacked up. 2003 lancer i have a 99 mits eclipse GS '99 model and i pushed a latch on the inside of the passenger door and now it wont go back so now the door wont close.. anyone have any ideas how to release it so that my will close thanks much appreciated...

Has all emmision and EVAP checked and all are functioning. I replaced fuel filler neck and made sure all vent hoses were clear. What else could it be? Has anyone had problems with their check engine lights? I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Oulander the serive light will not go out, the diagnostics state a evap leak yet despite all testing there is no leak detected. My gas cap is fine and neither my pers My 07 Mitsubishi Raider malfunction indicator light lit on ?
