1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My GS had some minor suspension problems after hitting a mild bump in the road at about 35000 miles. No big deal even though I had gone through much worse in my old 88 Trans Am.
My most recent problem is that my engine threw a rod and the car only has 45,000 miles. I suspected that I would be backed by the 60,000 warranty, but I got shafted on that one. Now the car is sitting at at my mechanic's because I can't pay the car note, insurance, and a $5000 bill for a new engine.
Thanks Mitsubishi!!!
