2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Problems

“The car makes a sound in the rear when I make a turn.the turning radius is very bad.I wouldn't do a u turn with it.the other issue is that the A/C stopped working on a very hot day.when I turned on the A/C the car turned off this almost caused a accident due to the sudden stop.the dashboard is all cracked.other than that the car seems good.everything else about the car I do like.the paint is peeling off and there seems to be some rust.”

“The contact owns a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The contact stated that the upper strut tower was severely corroded. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or and independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.”

Cars driven under normal conditions should not require an alignment this soon!!”

“The contact owns a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse gt. The contact stated that the struts are rusted and have come up on both sides of the vehicle.

The vehicle is out of warranty and is not considered to be a surface plight issue, which is what the warranty covers. The dealer stated that the failure could not be remedied. The current and failure mileages were 80,000.”
