Engine and Engine Cooling · at 102,000 miles · reported Jun 12, 2006
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled eight times while driving at various speeds and while idling. The vehicle started back each time after 10-15 minutes. This happens randomly. The vehicle has been to the dealership once and they could not duplicate the problem. There is an NHTSA recall, # 00v299001, regarding the engine and engine cooling: engine. The VIN was not included in the recall.
Wheels · at 58,000 miles · reported Aug 19, 2005
All of the wheels on my eclipse spyder are damaged from normal driving. Mitsubishi claims I have hit pot holes, curbs, etc.but I have not. Making a u-turn in a parking lot caused 4 "waves" in my rear drivers side wheel and caused my tire to go flat.
Wheels · at 20,000 miles · reported Dec 30, 2004
All 4 alloy wheels developed a dent in them. The rear passenger side wheel dent was so severe that it resulted in the tire leaking air because it was not able to form a proper seal. Dealership was contacted.

The rims on our daughters 2001 mitsubishi eclipse are bent really bad and it is causing the tires to go flat. We have replaced one a couple of years ago and now the rest of them are bent to the point they need to be replaced before the tires fall off. It looks like someone took a can opener and pulled them back.
Wheels · reported Aug 24, 2004
17" rims on my 2001 mitsubishi spyder are bent for no apparent reason. This has been the case for over 18 months. I asked the mitsubishi dealers in my area and they said I must have hit something to create the problem. I did not. I researched the defect to see if it was a common occurence and found scores of reports on the internet.
