1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS review from North America
"Very pretty, Runs ugly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my 1999 Eclipse RS since it was only 9 miles old when the car hit a few thousand miles it would start to miss.
Became stuck in the second gear.
The lighter popped out to the back seat.
I took it to two dealerships where they said upon 6 different occasions it was the spark plugs or spark plugs wires.
General comments?
I have fought through lawyers remediation only to be told there is nothing that can be done-Mitsubishi stuck me with a lemon and there are probably more with the same problem, so beware.
