My calapana black 2001 eclipse gt started to fade a year ago. I noticed that most black mitsubishi cars starts to fade in 2-3 years. I have a couple of friends that have the same problem but refuse to complain here because they already done several times to the dealer but never had a response. I also have exact problem as complain no. Odi id: 100511429 the federal safety agency complaint id: 448638. As mentioned, the car has trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gear (worst when cold), stutters when first accelerating, and makes a continuous rattling noise when the clutch is not engaged. I complained to mitsubishi dealer many times but they refuse to be responsible.

Vehicle has been tested a number of times; dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. Vehicle stalls when shifting from park to reverse; in may, vehicle began to kill without warning while driving between 40 and 65 MPH. I was nearly rear-ended on one occasion when the car stalled on the interstate highway. I finally took the car to a different mitsubishi dealership in libertyville, illinois. In mid-july, they stated that a flash/recall was being developed and would be ready in mid-august; they informed me that I needed to pick up my car. Due to the safety issues regarding this car, I refused to accept the car. They said that I would be charged for storage of the car and for all rental car costs. I filed a complaint with mitsubishi motors headquarters, and they promptly sent a factory representative to assess the situation. Ultimately, a fuel pump was replaced; however, I was told to return the car in mid-august when the recall software is finally developed.
