2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer states when it rains, water sits inside the water well, and when rolling the windows down and back up there is a water film on them, in colder weather windows will sometimes freeze because of this water, contact dealer and dealer stated it is common and vehicle is not defected.*ak
Violent deployment of the air bag caused eye injury to the driver, the consumer may have sustained permanent injury to the left eye. Nlm
While driving the sunroof violently exploded, small pieces of glass fell onto the driver and occupant,the consumer believes this defect should be covered under warranty. Nlm
Closed sunroof violently exploded with small glass going all over both passengers going 60 MPH down highway. Nothing hit the car. Had had problems opening prior. Mitsubishi will not take any responsibility of possible defect. Insurance reports no evidence of object hitting. Could have been deadly in heavier traffic.
Power windows when rolled down in dry weather come back up wet with a mildew smell. Dealer has replaced window stripping, did not remedy problem.*ak the dealer denies there was mildew proble.
Rear hatch glass is distorted, was replaced but the new glass is worse than the old glass, while driving at night and looking in the rear view visibility is limited because of distortion, the glass always looks dirty especially at night or when raining. Nlm
The brakes have not responded twice and now constantly screech for the first five miles of driving it from rest. Water builds up in the door after a wash or rain and it smells.
Water collects in driver side door, windows leak in rain? Also, wipers stopped working while driving 60mph, several near accidents due to this.
When the front doors are opened then closed, a signifigant amount of water is on the window. I believe water is being retained within the door. In cold weather, the windows froze in the closed position. After setting in the sun, the windows functioned normally, but water was evident on them after being opened. The doors froze again the next day. After a carwash or rain, the dry windows can be actuated, and are then very wet. I am concerned about the internal window components rusting.
After rain or a car wash, water stays inside the door for several days. When rolling the windows up, a film of water stays on the window, reducing visibility.
