| My 2000 mitsubishi eclipse continues to be an unsafe vehicle. incidences that i assumed were part of regular wear and tear are actually related to multiple recalls. when i shared this information with mitsubishi, they decided it was not their fault, without even looking at my car. i provided numerous materials to support my conclusion, in addition to offering photographic evidence of my most recent situation. i am disappointed with both my vehicle and the customer service i received while trying to resolve my concern. *tr | |||

| Car is a 2000 eclipse, black. in 2006 the clear coat began to crack then flake off. started on roof then started on hood, trunk, and panels above windows. the front and back bumpers are not affected. within 6 months the spots grew larger and the clear coat on the roof is about 70% gone. called mitsubishi, they said go to dealer. i went, they took pictures. mitsubishi said at first they went by a case by case basis, didn't matter that it was a 2000 model. then they told me they wouldn't help me because it was too far out of warranty. contradicting statement from the same representative. there have tv reports done on the paint problem and there are websites dedicated to this problem. mymitsubishipaintproblem.com this is not an isolated incident. there are thousands of customers mitsubishi is ignoring. *jb | |||

| I purchased the vehicle in mar 2002. around the end of 2004 the vehicle's paint job began to oxidize. the condition worsened until the whole hood, top and trunk lid paint were thoroughly oxidized. the tops of each door, the front and rear fenders are also damaged. *jb | |||

| The clear coat paint on my black 2000 eclipse is defective. the paint is disappearing on the entire car. it is down to the metal on the roof causing major rust. this is a very serious problem that is affecting mitsubishi owners across the country. mitsubishi denies any problem and refuses to fix our cars. *jb | |||

| My dashboard is cracking all over and the paint is oxidizing (no clear coat?). i have only used clear coat safe products on my car and these conditions started at the end of 2002 and beginning of 2003. my car is a 2000 mitsubishi eclipse gt and problems like the above should not occur for several years! *jb | |||
