When putting car under full throttle, intake manifold splits at the part where it connects to the throttle body. This causes engine to shut down while driving, including loss of power steering, etc. Can be very dangerous. Replacement of manifold is $300+ for labor and $600+ for parts. Many others with same engine type (4G64) have had exact same problem.

I have 2 complaints. My wheels were also dented and fractured upon inspection and had visible wear to my tires. Two different garages had stated to go to the dealer and check on it. They of course said there was no problem and just to buy new rims at $385 each or tires. Of course, after buying tires a few times, I just bought after market rims. The second complaint, is I have had visible corrosion on the battery cables on my car for years and asked the dealer if there was a reason so much is gathering, they advised no. Well, I have replaced the battery and still am having the same problems such as: Air conditioner goes out with the light blinking, car does not start, or while driving it will stall as well as run very sluggish. I have asked repeatedly if there is a problem and they stated not for my car, due to the date made. I find this a little odd, I have all the same problems of the 2000 Eclipse, however, my car was made "during the dates". my car is a 2000 Eclipse GT and my battery wires have shown visible signs of corrosion for years and not being a mechanic how would I have though anything different than changing the battery, as well as getting new tires and new after market rims for the same price as stock rims.
