This vehicle has a recall for the lower ball joint. After calling to set up an appointment to fix this issue the vehicle shows up as already serviced, which may have only been as little as an inspection that was done. The ball joint in this vehicle is currently failing and is extremely noticeable while driving. I am in search of a record for who filed the service for this recall or a confirmation that this issue can be "fixed" once again under the same recall.

I never received a recall alert from the dealer. Right now the dealer was sold to a new owner. I went to the dealer to buy a fender and my vin number does not appear in the mitsubishi computer system here in puerto rico either in usa. So i would like an advise. What i have to do. I have all the purchasing paper from the dealer and the bank. A long time ago i have problem with the arm ball joints but i paid for the repair in a mechanic workshop. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1997 mitsubishi eclipse. While driving at any speed, the front end of the vehicle vibrated and veered to the right. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired under a recall in 2010, but was not repaired again. The vin was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

Squealing belts at startup, inconsistent small leaks of coolant, hesitation at 2k rpm were only pre-cursors. Out of nowhere, while driving on highway, i looked at gauges for no particular reason....Noticed the temperature was rising, eventually going as far as it could above h. So i look for smoke in rear view....Nothing. I turn down the radio to listen for noises......Nothing. Everything seems fine. Hoping that air through the radiator would cool the engine......Not working. I decided i better pull over.....The second i safely stopped, huge puffs of white smoke billowed out the hood edges. I jumped out, opened the hood......Huge clouds of smoke and smell of burning rubber, i thought the car was on fire. Once the smoke settled, oil could be seen splattered all over the engine. Tow truck comes and while putting on flatbed.....Oil drained out like a water faucet. Found out later from the dealer that oil line burst, causing the head gaskets to blow and most likely damaged totaled the engine. New engine quoted at $5000, used 71,000 mile engine in some salvage yard in alabama quoted at $2-3000. Nice chunk of money and the engine still needs to be shipped and installed. What a deal? I actually spoke highly about mitsubishi's in the past, but now i'm having second thoughts. Too bad mitsubishi company has such a bad history of failures, recalls, and poor repair service. I was actually thinking of buying a 2006 eclipse........Not any more. I'll miss my 97 eclipse......It was pretty good to me, but this recent event with no warning, did me in and it is just wrong that i have read similar incidents on the internet and mitsubishi does nothing. Time for an american car...............Too bad we don't have the sense to make oil and gas-free vehicles though.......The technology is there. Oh well......I guess i better start figuring out how i am going to get to work on monday. *jb

Coolant tank cracked leading to loss of overflow coolant and potential engine failure from overheating. Mitsubishi no longer makes a replacement part. *jb
