| 2003 | STRUCTURE | I BOUGHT AN USED 2003 ECLIPSE AND AT THE TIME I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BADLY CRACKED THE DASHBOARD WAS. TO MY SURPRISE, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN USED DASHBOARD IN GOOD CONDITION...EVERY SINGLE 2003 ECLIPSE I'VE FOUND AND SEEN HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE ONLY SOLUTION MITSUBISHI OFFERS IS TO REPLACE IT WITH A BRAND NEW (YET SAME POOR QUALITY) PART. HOW CAN WE (ECLIPSE OWNERS) GET A FULL OR PARTIAL CREDIT FROM MITSUBISHI, EVEN IF THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL A SIMILAR PART? *TR |
| 2004 | SEAT BELTS:REAR | IN OUR 2004 ENDEAVOR SUV THE BACK SEATBELTS COME UNDONE WITHOUT ANYONE PUSHING THE RED RELEASE BUTTONS. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN CAR SEATS IN THE BACK AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 8 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR SEAT IS NOT BUCKLED IN ANYMORE BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT CAME LOOSE. WE TOOK IT IN ON 9-21-07 TO DEALER BUT THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, BUT I HAVE TO QUESTION THIS BECAUSE THEY ONLY TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN SAID IT WAS FINE AND THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. *TR |
