What owners say
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.
My manual transmission grinds terribly when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, or 4 to 3rd. The clutch is fully pressed, yet still a bad grind. It is hard to shift into revers also.
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.
While driving at 35 MPH, there was transmission fluid coming from the vehicle, and vehicle stalled/ and cut off . Also, crankshaft rod bearing knoc k or ticking sound, and rear brake rotors and pads squeak.

- What is wrong
- The headlamp support panel can develop a fatigue crack where the anti-lock brake system (ABS) hydraulic unit is attached, allowing the hydraulic unit to fall down.
- Risk
- Loss of braking can result if the ABS hydraulic unit falls. This can result in a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will connect the ABS hydraulic unit attachment point at a rigid portion of the headlamp support panel with a bracket and reinforce the headlamp support panel by adding a back plate.
