- the contact owns a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse. There was safety recall 98V069001 on the automatic transmission. He was told that the safety recall repairs had already been performed on the vehicle. Due to the present mileage on the vehicle the dealer refused to perform the safety recall repairs again. The vehicle was making loud noises, jerking and shaking. The dealer found no oil in the transfer case. The current and failure mileage were both 216,000 miles.
