2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Owner Comments

problem #1

Eclipse

  • 130,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

1) a common issue according to the forums and facebook groups, the strut towers rust through which presents a safety issue when considering that the suspension is connected to the steering which could put an individual or others on the road at risk 2) yet another common issue, the dash and associated bezels crack over time. There has been no solution or alternative to complete replacement from anyone, including (I'm sure) Mitsubishi.
