Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am filing a complaint regarding the steering mechanism in my 2003 mitsubishi eclipse gt - on monday, december 27, 2004 - i was going home from work and my steering suddenly became stiff and i was almost unable to steer the car enough to get to my home. the problem seems to be intermittent. the car is still under the factory warranty and i called mitsubishi who had the vehicle towed to dealership for repair. i have not gotten my car back and it is still in the shop; however, i find this issue to be a huge safety issue in terms of consumers of this product. i did research previous complaints on your site and see the same issue was noted under the components of steering wheel and handle bar for the 2003 eclipse product. *nm
