| 2003 | STRUCTURE | I OWN A 2003 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE, BLACK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE PAINT APPEARED PERFECT, BUT IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR VERY BAD 'SUNBLEACHED' OR OXIDIZED SPOTS HAVE APPEARED ON THE ROOF AND TRUNK AND APPEAR TO BE GETTING WORSE IN A HURRY. THE CAR HAS BEEN WASHED AND WAXED REGULARLY SINCE I PURCHASED IT. SINCE THESE SPOTS HAVE SHOWN UP, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT OTHER ECLIPSES AROUND MY AREA, AND LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE BLACK ECLIPSE I SEE - PROBABLY UPWARDS OF 30 CARS (2000-2003) - HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS OF ONLINE POSTS I HAVE SEEN MENTIONING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP PAY FOR A NEW PAINTJOB WITH CURRENT BLACK PAINT (I DO NOT WANT THE SAME 2003 PAINT PUT ON, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR IN 4 YEARS) THANK YOU VERY MUCH! *TR |
| 2009 | STRUCTURE:BODY | THERE IS A HOLLOW OPENING BEHIND CARPET IN FLOOR UNDER GAS PEDAL. IN LESS THAN 10,000 MILES, A HOLE WORE THROUGH THE CARPET. NOW HEELS OF SHOES (JUST NORMAL WOMEN'S SHOES, NOT SPIKE HEELS!) GET STUCK WHILE DRIVING. AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY OTHER MODEL CARS, MANY WITH WORN CARPETING, BUT NONE HAD A DESIGN FLAW LIKE THE 2009 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO CRASHING SEVERAL TIMES. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. *TR |
