So much for the new eclipse bringing Mitsu back to glory. All I got to say is that thank goodness they shipped the EVOs before they close. I dont know whether to pity them or be happy because of their crappy customer service.

so what, better now than a year later getting people even more bent. These guys are sooo quality/recall/fubar conscious that this does not surprise me at all. They have to make sure the quality is top-notch. I drove one yesterday and dude the thing freakin scoots with no torque steer. Anyway...bla blah, they are not closing,...blah blah.

 

They caught the problem early and are fixing it before too many get out. This happens all the time to cars. The ones that do get out will probably have a recall or get fixed before delivery. Personally the car doesn't interest me. As a former GSX owner the Eclipse will never interest me till turbos and AWD make a return. Put the EVO motor and drivetrain in it and then I'll take a look at it.

 

I don't see the big deal.

 

Lets hope that they will honor their warranty claims better than they do with the Evos.

 

Oh just relax. It's a minor issue that only has happened in a couple cars, causing them to loose their POWER brakes, not their brakes all together.

It's just erroring on the side of caution, rather than just hoping it isn't an issue.

And ontop of it all, the part causing the problem, IS NOT A MITSUBISHI PART, it is a vaccum booster for the master cylinder, provided by some supplier!

 

that sucks

 

It doesnt matter if it was their part or not, it is on their car, hence their responsibility.

Mitsu quality sucks guys...its just a proven fact. It will take years to turn that around.

 

we just got 7 more 06 eclipses off the truck a hour ago and they already have the problem taken care of . I have a total of 8 or 9 cars here only two are getting the recall that is needed as the others are fixed and ready to go.

 

man everyone is so harsh on mistu....at least this time they caught it on time and they didnt deny it or anything....they said they will fix it.....whats the big deal...so many cars have issues when they first come out...remember the sentras for like 2 3 years they had to be recalled for a prob much bigger

 

Well Mistubishi has shot themselves in the foot so much it's easy for people to not trust them and give them a hard time. If they get their act together they will pull through. Remember what Audi went through in the 80's?

 

I completely agree! Changing the target market for the Eclipse in 2000 was not a good move … from an enthusiast's standpoint.

 

oh well they changed that awd 4g63 setup coz think bout it in 2000 and up till now....which car company is selling an awd turbo car for the 25k range?.....non....so mitsu thought hey y keep spending all our money on commin up with a new awd turbo car when we can get away with just a simple fwd setup.....although yes it was a bad move but comon from a business point of view makes sense (kinda)

 

wow... they're already at dealers here. I guess they'll be pulling them off and recalling...
