Mr
After recall 98v069000 repairs for transfer case were done problem reoccurred four years later.
Consumer stated he learned of 3 recalls on vehicle after taking possession of it, only 1 of the recalls were repaired, however the recall regarding the oil transfer tank (98v069002) was repaired at his expense.
Driver was traveling at 45 MPH when vehicle went from third gear to first gear without warning. Vehicle suddenly slowed down, almost causing a rear end collision by another driver. Please provide any further infomation.
After taking the car to a mechanic and researching the problem on the internet it has become evident that I have what is nicknamed or called "crankwalk". This is an issue that results from the crankshaft or thrust bearings allowing the crankshaft to move freely. This movement allows the crankshaft to move, which wears a grove into the engine block and or allows the crankshaft to hit the crank-angle sensor and break it, both of which resulting in a total loss of the engine block. I am extremely disappointed that mitsubishi and chrysler have not come forward with this manufacturing flaw. Mitsubishi has said that this is a common problem but has not made any reparations to the owners of these vehicles. I am being told that there is a class action lawsuit being put together as a type this, but I am hoping that the manufacturer will make things right with me and replace my engine block at their cost. Thank you for the space with which I am expressing my displeasure. The result of this and my discussion with the manufacturer directly, will decide if I or anyone else in my family will ever purchase a chrysler or mistubishi product ever again.
Transmission went out due to frozen transfer case .
Either the seals went bad, or the transfer case went bad, either way, that caused a loss in lubrication, which took out my entire transmission. I had to rebuild the whole thing, all of which ended up costing me $2673.00!!
When clutch is depressed, it's much softer than original and metal-scratching noise comes from pulley side of engine. Sometimes clutch stays depressed after lifting left foot. Sometimes engine stalls in stop when clutch is depressed. The issue is when clutch is depressed, it puts a force on the the flywheel which moves the crankshaft, hence crank-end play or crankwalk.
Relating to the engine:mainbearing problem, this is the third car of this type I have owned (all vins and reciepts available) that this has happened to. It is referredd to by many as "crankwalk". The oil pressure test show a normal pressure, yet the #4 bearing has been deprived of oil and seems to grind the bearing down slowly until there is so much excessive clearence that the piston starts hitting the cylinder head and destroys the entire engine assemblyl. I have read online posts at http://www.dsm.org from hundreds, if not thousands, of owners of this same car and its twin - the mitsubishi eclipse gsx/gs-t - about this same problem and wonder why if there is so many reports of this happening, why have they not been recalled.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Vehicle wont go into gear, it drops out in first and secon. Consumer has to take off in 3rd gear in order to go.
Received recall notice 99v066003, took vehicle to dealer who said part was okay. 13 months later, axle broke due to left ball joint problem. 1 week later right ball joint broke, dealer charged for both repairs.

I am writing this to you because my friend recently had a problem with his eclipse known as "crank walk" ever since the 2nd generation (95-99) turbo eclipse and talons came out they have been with faulty crankshafts. The cranks eventually were out the thrust washer and shift to the point that it destoys the crank angle sensor, shutting off the motor. Mitsubishi is aware of the problem. Its their fault. The vehicles are bad from the factory but yet my friend has been denied a warranty claim because he made a few unrealted performance modifications. Please, I urge you to force mitsubishi to recall the cars with these bad cranks before someone motor shuts off and an accident is caused. You know how bad mitz is with recalls as with the leaky transfer case. Please check this website. Http://www.roadraceengineering.com/walkingcrankshaft.htm for other peoples expereiences with crankwalk failures. Although I have a 92 awd talon myself (with a leaking transfer case) I have witness three of my friends suffer crankwalk failures. Of them only one was able to get his dealer to cover them. Please investigate this before someone's car shuts off while they are driving and an accident is caused. All three of my friends escaped injury but who know when someone else wont be so lucky. Thank you.
I have had numerous problems with my vehicle, many of which I did not mention. Most of the complaints I have made, have never been taken care of and today the problems still exist. I have taken my vehicle for repairs on several occasions for a rotten egg smell coming from exhaust along with the check engine light coming on. My car continues to fail smog every year, and this year I have been unable to register my vehicle as a result. I now have numerous registration tickets, which I am paying fines on with all attempts to make the corrections, with no luck.
Car was checked for the recall in august 1999. Was making a turn at about 10mph when the left front wheel fell off. As a result of the lower ball joint failure, the drive shaft was damaged as well and will need to be replaced.
Morning of incident, on the way to work noticed speedometer wasn't working. Coming back from lunch, smelled odor. Pulled over, popped hood, saw small fire left side, and put out with fire extinguisher. Towed to dealer, they made oem spec. Repair, replacing damaged compoents. I have old speed sensor, it looks to me the most likely source of the problem. My concern is this can happen again. I believe the speed sensor circuit should be fused. I am in the process of pursuing this concern with damlierchrysler (bob dunn, 612‑553‑2569). Fyi, state farm is not covering most the damage cost (~$850), claiming the defective component (comprehensive doesn't cover the defective part, but other parts damaged in fire) to be the wiring harness, the big ticket item, and not the speed sensor. So for 2 reasons I really want to determine the actual cause of the fire. Fyi, the original/bad sensor. I received from the dealer, presumably the speed sensor, appears to be a 3 terminal device, with the middle pin missing (burned up?). I tried measuring the resistance between the other two terminals, and saw ~800ohms. The sensor damage suggests coupled with my observation that the speedometer malfunction implies to me that the speed sensor and not the harness failed. I'm guessing the sensor is bulit by mitsubishi, and don't know what to do with it next, e.g. Who would/should do failure analysis. I also have a new $600 wiring harness, missing just the speed sensor female connector harness (the mechanic scavanged it to do the repair), it would no doubt be of some use in an investigation. If you have any information that will help me convince the state farm adjuster to pay my claim, please contact me: [email protected]. Thanks!
The first problem I had was the transmission. It doesn't go into second gear anymore. When you can get it into second it grinds very badly. I don't understand why it would just go out unless defective. So now I have to shift from first to third gear and bypass second gear. The second defect I have found is the wiper washers that are mounted in the hood. They had leaked water down the side of the hood which resulted in runing the paint.
I bought the vehicle new in february of 1995, thirteen months after buying the vehicle the timing belt snapped. The engine was essentially replaced. Three months later the water pump failed and was replaced, it failed again and was replaced again. The vents on the dashboard popped out and had to be replaced, they have since popped out again. The horn relay has been replaced twice and still does not function properly. The brakes were resurfaced after about 4 months because of a defect. The alarm has been replaced three times. The battery has been replaced twice. All of these problems occured in the first three years I owned the vehicle. In the past four months I have noticed a very strong odor of fuel in the car, I have brought it to several mechanics, without success. The car had developed a stalling problem about a month ago - in an attempt to correct the problem my mechanic replaced the gasket kit (leak) because he felt the plugs were getting wet. About three months ago my front and rear wipers stopped working, I tried replacing the fuse, they still don't work. Last week on my way to work my car lost all power and I am now told that my transmission is shot and needs to be rebuilt. Help!

Went in for the transfer case recall, had to order the part through the service department myself, because they said they weren't responsible for it. They completed the recall, but it now leaks like a sieve, they also used an impact wrench to put on the fill plug, and stripped it completely.
Transfer case was repaired under recall. After the work was completed noise was heard intermittently. Consumer took vehicle back to dealer. The dealer reinspected vehicle and informed the owner that the driveshaft was hitting the transfer case. The manufacturer has been notfied.
Pin that holds in all the gears snapped, causing transmission to fail.
While driving at 35 MPH rear wheels seized up causing car to immediately stop. Dealer indicated it was caused by a leak in the all wheel drive oil transfer case. *ak
Vehicle started without clutch pedal depressed resulting in damage due to accident, manual transmission is not designed to start without depression of clutch pedal.
