“Today, april 21, 2011, I put my key in the ignition switch and my key broke. The metal part of the key had broken out of the plastic end. I was able to get the key out of the ignition. Upon inspecting both sets of keys, I noticed that both keys have a crack in the plastic starting from the posterior left corner base of the metal end extending mid way into the posterior plastic part. Both keys have the exact type of crack located in the same area consisting of the same width and pattern. Naturally, the crack in the broken key is alittle longer then the other key. …”

NHTSA complaint #10162800, filed 2006-07, 4,000 miles“The contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The horn will sound without warning. Occasionally, the horn will not sound when pressed. The only way to stop the horn from blowing was to remove the fuse. The manufacturer was unable to diagnose the failure. The dealer attempted to repair the vehicle four times by replacing the horns twice and performing maintenance to the air bag, yet the problem recurred. The contact has a repair invoice. The current mileage was 19,000, and failure mileage was 13,000.”
