The car is missing and makes a knocking sound, hard vibration when idle and car jerks, does not seem to shift up to next gear, engine light comes on. Have taken care into dealership for repair for same problem at least 7 times. Dealership claims they cannot duplicate the problems I report to them. Windows are loose, rattle, and leak. I have had them tightened several times. I sent a letter to dave mckenzie (vp of service and engineering at Mitsubishi) in 10/98. I have not received a response.

  • Manual transmission

Brakes: Driving approximately 25mph, truck ahead of the Eclipse had come to stop, applied brakes and there were no brakes. Car accelerated as if the cruise control was on, kept pumping brakes, but car kept accelerating. When brakes finally kicked in car slid underneath truck, demolishing front end and the air bags did not deploy.
