| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased the 2003 mitsubishi eclipse new off the lot in april 2003. i have taken care of the car with regular washes and attempts to keep it clean. last year started noticing light grey spots developing on the top of the car behind the sun roof. now ,just a year later, the spots increased and are now located all over the car. every day they appear to be getting wide r and larger in size. i have had many paint chips knocked off the front of the car in just normal driving conditions and those spots are now also starting to rust. i am very upset about this as i spent good money on this car thinking it would be a reputable company. i have never had a car this new start experiencing such paint problems. there is no excuse for this. i have completed research online about the paint problems with mitsubishi, and it appeared i wa s not alone. there have been many owners of mitsubishi cars that have complained of a paint problem, (especially with the black paint, in the year my car was manufactured. i would never purchase another mitsubishi after this experience and would never recommend anyone purchase one as mitsubishi is not being cooperative in fixing or admitting there is even a problem when obviously there is. there was no way without a new paint job that i could even sell my vehicle and make my money off of it. i am so extremely disappointed with mitsubishi and their product. *ak |
