| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2000 mitsubishi eclipse gt in 2001 and recently the left head lamp dimmed and i thought the head lamp needed to be replaced. i purchased a new bulb only to discover the head lamp harness had been melted. shortly there after i driving home after sunset and both head lamps went out. all i could do was turn on my fog lamps to get light to see where i was going. i live in rural area and without any street lamps i could not even see the road. once i arrived home i had my husband check the head lamp and the right head lamp harness is now melted as well. mitsubishi should be held accountable for defective parts and design. i am very thankful that both my children had not been in the car with me when the head lamps decided to go. additionally, my husband did verify that the fuses were not blown. i have read of others with the same year and model eclipse with the same problem. *nm |
