Hello..... I would like to alert you to a major problem reguarding all 1995-1999 mitsubish eclipse cars. All cars are prone to crank walk which will on average do $2,000 to $6000 worth of damage to the engine, this is a technical service bullitan from mitsu... This is a large safety concern in my opinion, just like the recall on the transfercase. If crankwalk was to happen at highway speeds, local is 75, sudden shuttin off of the engine would cause power steering failure, not to mention a few other problems (ABS would fail)...... This would without a doubt in my opinion, cause an extreme accident. Please, don't just take my word for it ... Go to www.dsm.org and do a search for "crankwalk" go to www.roadraceengineering.com, and view their tech info on crank walk... This is a huge problem that is the direct resault of a defect from the manufacturer. This strikes all transmissions, all makes (turbo or not), talon or eclipse. Please check this out.... This is happening to oem engines, modified, and dealer rebuilt engines... Please contact me reguarding this problem... I do hope that someone will research this..... I am not looking forward to having to rebuild an engine just because a crank and bareings were made out of spec at the dealer..... They also have no valid reason to blame mild modifications for these failurs when dealers have to deal with several of these a month (dealers have reported over 3 walking cranksafts in 3 different years of eclipse within 1 month!!!!!!!) -- this is a problem that the owners should not have to pay for, this is not standard ware.

- 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.
