The contact owns a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse. While driving approximately 70 mph, there were white fumes emitting from the hood of the vehicle as an unknown warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was overheated. The failure recurred on one occasion. The vehicle was taken a dealer where it was diagnosed that the unit breaker and the water pump needed to be replaced and the head gasket needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

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.
