Latest Eclipse Cross complaints
The infotainment center screen is unresponsive to touch
My 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SE has developed a localized area of unresponsive touch input in the lower-center portion of the infotainment touchscreen. The display itself continues to function normally, but touch commands do not register in the affected area. The failure is repeatable and appears to be a hardware/touchscreen digitizer failure. This creates a safety and vehicle-operation concern because the touchscreen is also used to access and adjust vehicle settings and functions, not just entertainment....

When controls are located within the unresponsive area, those settings cannot be adjusted. One specific concern is the vehicle's power-folding mirror setting. If the touchscreen becomes unresponsive in the area needed to access or adjust this setting, the driver may be unable to change the mirror-folding configuration. In cold weather, the mirrors can potentially freeze while folded, creating an operational and visibility concern. I have found other reports of similar touchscreen failures on 2022 Eclipse Cross vehicles. I also found Mitsubishi TSB-25-54-002/TIN-25-54-001 concerning unresponsive SDA2 touchscreens on certain 2020-2022 Mitsubishi vehicles. Mitsubishi identified a touchscreen durability issue and extended coverage to 7 years/unlimited mileage for affected vehicles. I understand the Eclipse Cross is not specifically listed in that bulletin, but I am requesting that NHTSA document this complaint and investigate whether a recurring touchscreen/digitizer defect affects Eclipse Cross vehicles and can result in loss of access to vehicle settings or other vehicle functions.
While attempting to park head-on into a parking stall, the car suddenly excellerated at high speed and hit a parking barrier head on. At no time prior to hitting the parking barrier did the drive touch the excellerator pedal. Although the entire front end of the vehicle was totalled into a "V" shape the air bags never deployed. Driver attempted to brake but it was too late, happened too fast. After the impact and with the brake pedal fully engaged the car was still moving. A passerby jumped into the passenger seat and was abel to put the car into park. Police were notified but no accident report was issued according to the responding officier becasue it happened on private property.
I purchased this vehicle brand new, and since the beginning I have experienced a problem with the air conditioning system. The A/C compressor turns on and off approximately every five seconds while the air conditioning is operating. This constant cycling appears abnormal and affects the system's performance and the overall driving experience. I have taken the vehicle to the authorized dealership on three separate occasions to have the issue inspected. Each time, I was told that this behavior is "normal" and that...

no repairs were necessary. However, I do not believe this is normal operation for a new vehicle, especially considering the extremely frequent compressor cycling. I am concerned that this may indicate a defect in the air conditioning system or another related component that could lead to premature wear or failure. Despite multiple visits to the dealership, the issue remains unresolved. I am submitting this complaint so the issue can be investigated and to determine whether other owners are experiencing the same problem.
There is times when driving that the transmission jerks when I press the pedal, like the car is slipping when acceleration. I have 76,600 miles on it.
Without any warning after traveling downstate with our family the transmission let go. Never any warning lights, no transmission slippage. We went into a store and when we left the car wouldn't move. Mitsubishi dealer gave me a quote for a new transmission, and it cost what I owe on the car.
