About 2 weeks ago I started hearing a noise when the ac was on. I took it into a service dealer and he stated my ac compressor was going bad. And that at 32,500 miles this should not be happening. I am taking it to a mitsubishi dealer sat- to diagnos this and to make sure mitsubishi pays for it. Warranty out 3/2005 - but car under miles and very well kept. I was told by 3 service dept's an ac compressor on a car with 32,500 miles should not be going bad and mitsubishi should pay for it. (2 Of the 3 were mitsubishi dealers) I want this paid for and taken care of by mitsubishi... I was going to trade in on a new one, but we'll see how they handle this to see if they keep me as a customer

I brought the car to the dealer to inspect a bottom engine noise, after a quick inspection the mechanic informed his manager of a supposed rapid leak of oil, resulting in damage of parts. I explianed to the manager that I've own the car since new and there never been an oil leak because im the one who have done the oil change for the past 2 yrs, that the grease he supposed is oil is the amorole acumulating under the car from recent detailing done by myself. The manager contacted the warranty and without hearing an explanation or closely inspecting the car the decided that is not going to be fixed. *Ak

My 2002 eclipse started to sound very loud. Itook it back to the dealer.They blew me off . They never checked the car in the shop but they said the car was ok.One week later the engine ceased due to lack of oil. They refused to fix the car because of "customer negligence".They state that as a result of thier investigation the did not leak or burn the 3 quarts of "missing oil". Threfore where could it be.This obviosly the oil was never there .Mitsubishi does not want to admit this even thogh it is the only possible thing that could have happened.Please help . Ispent 30000 dollars on this car and cant afford to fix it. Nlm

A random code failure in the computer lead to repeated engine stalls at stop, and lead to other spark plug fouling and egr valve failure. Problem repeats after code is clearded. Been repaired 5 times now, a 6th on the way. Nlm
