Tl* the contact owns a 2012 mitsubishi eclipse. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The dealer diagnosed that the abs failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

Experiencing a problem with an electronic control units related to headlight outage, causing failure of both front headlights, daytime running lights and hi-beam lights. Began with spontaneous yet infrequent hesistation-blinking on/off of driver-side headlamp when nighttime lights first used in the evening, especially while vehicle was in motion. This eventually lead increased to total outage of front headlights, running lights and hi-beams which led to unsafe nighttime driving. Car was taken to local mitsubishi dealership for repair, where technician informed me that this same issue is a known recall on other mitsubishi models, but not on the eclipse. That said, my 2012 model is the final model year for this vehicle to be offered from mitsubishi. The car has less than 90k miles, and yet this electrical failure issue is not covered under their 100k warranty. --- i now have to pay nearly $1300 to replace both main headlight lamps and both electrical control units, along with wiring between. ----- the verbiage from the recall of the other mitsubishi models: ""the affected vehicles have an electronic control unit that controls the headlights, taillights and windshield wipers," said nhtsa in its recall summary. "due to a manufacturing error, the voltage inside this ecu may be unstable. Unstable voltage could result in intermittent failure of the vehicle's headlights, taillights and wipers. If the headlights and/or windshield wipers fail, the driver could have reduced visibility. If the taillights fail, the vehicle could be less visible. Either condition increases the risk of a crash."

Brake light and abs lights are on. After diagnosis at a repair shop with testing system the fault reads abs hydraulic assembly is defective. The shop stated that since the car was a 2012 i should contact the mitsubishi dealership to investigate a recall for the abs unit. The dealership stated that recalls for the abs unit involved 2006-2009. Since this is a safety feature i feel a complaint is required.

I was heading home at approximately 45 mph when a deer jumped in front on my car. My car had frontal impact and the air bags did not deploy. If i was going the actual speed limit which is 55 mph, the deer could have went through my windshield and where the air bags didn't go off my husband and i could be dead. *js
