Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11741079

Without any warning after traveling downstate with our family the transmission let go. Never any warning lights, no transmission slippage. We went into a store and when we left the car wouldn't move. Mitsubishi dealer gave me a quote for a new transmission, and it cost what I owe on the car.

Are anyone else having the same problem. The vehicle is stuck in park intermittently and you have to push the button to release the gear shift knob out of park. pretty annoying to have to do this occasionally when before all you had to do was put your foot on the brake squeeze the shift knob lever and remove the vehicle out of park to drive.

I was driving my vehicle on 11/12/19, presses the brakes in preparation to make a turn. The brakes failed and would not stop the vehicle , the ABS , brake assist and hill assist did not work, which resulted in me being unable to stop the vehicle . The end result was me getting into a collision causing over $4000 worth of damage to my vehicle , with it only having 865 miles at the time . When I bought the vehicle the headlights also didn't work, although the vehicle was purchased brand new. Please note when the collision occurred I was driving on the street .

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11493369

It appears the EclipseCross electrical system shut down while traveling in a rain storm causing a accident when engine shut down and steering was affected, this caused vehicle to lose control and hit concrete barrier. Air bags were deployed except for the driver side that took the impact, reason unknown. Vehicle was a total loss as judged by the insurance company. Driver was injured but sustained only minor injuries, but this situation did affect 2 other vehicles. Electrical "glitch" happened once before but was so minor as noted it shut off can came back on while driving it appeared to be a fluke incident.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11645998

The contact owned a 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, he became aware that the vehicle was not responding to operator inputs—acceleration, braking, or steering. As a result, the contact briefly lost control of the vehicle, only coming to a complete stop after, running a stop sign, leaving the roadway, and colliding with a tree and ravine where it came to stop. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. Police officers assisted with removing the contact from the vehicle. The contact sustained various injuries, including bruises, scratches, and cuts, but did not seek medical attention. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.

Engine failure

ENGINE

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11553418

know every motor is different and many resources have different stats, The engine in my 2019 Eclipse Cross has excessive oil consumption. The engine is consuming approximately 2.5-quarts (2.3-liters) of oil in approximately 2,500 to 3,000-miles (4,000 to 4,828-kilometers). The vehicle is approximately 4-years old and less than 50,000-miles. Using the best mileage in Mitsubishi's favor and an average of 30 mpg (my car computer has my average mileage higher) the oil consumption rate is at 0.6% for the engine. Ibut the common accepted stat for passenger car oil consumption is 0.05% for new motors. Mitsubishi's motor is consuming 12-times what is considered normal for a motor. This is a well documented problem on the internet, with repairs already required in Australia. Mitsubishi will not contact me (or the Dealer Service Center) back regarding this issue.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11234160

The 1ST day I purchased my car, it was pulling to one side and swaying from left to right. Because I purchased my car late one Saturday evening, and the dealership closed until the following Monday, I couldn't make a report until that Monday morning. The 'head' mechanic at the dealership took my car for a drive with me riding with him, and stated, 'the pulling and swaying you feel is normal. The way these cars are made were computerized this way.'. Because I'm not familiar with cars, I took the mechanic at his word until about 1.5 months later I lost control of my car sliding partially off the road. I filed a complaint with Mitsubishi @ 1-888-648-7820, file [xxx]. I have not received a resolution to this problem, and I have been getting the run around ever since. It's been almost 4 months now. I spoke with marius at Mitsubishi manufacturing, and then I was referred to larry johnson at don herring Mitsubishi in irving Texas. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (FOIA), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *Tt

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11397194

Bought the car from dealer in lasvegas an the back seat airbags had been tampered with, the car had about 13,500 miles on car from a rental agency but car dealer had car back an offered the 60,000MILE guarantee on car for the remaining miles when I called dealer in ST. Louis,moi said emergency light just started coming on when I got home from lasvegas .my dealer thought maybe an animal had chewed through wires in back seats but when they checked they found out that someone had cut the wires an taped them back together, an said they could noy fix them because someone had tampered with them.also the dealer in lasvegas did a high pressure sales routine on us to sell us extra ins. On the rest of the car so if something was wrong then it woulld be covered, no matter what it was at first theywanted about another $4000 but I said I would never pay that much but then they continued to pressure us to buy it until I agreed to pay extra over $2000 for all rest of car insurance. The dealer on ST . Charles rock road did the inspections in st.,louis county mo. They took pictures an documented all of what they did to the car .the only thing I could get the dealer to fix was oil filter was also put on car from lasvegas dealer but it was not an authorized oil filter so the las vegas dealer agreed to pay for oil filter and oil change to ST louis mo dealer . Las vegas dealer said they would not have anything else fixed even though they said they did not know who could have cut the wires an then taped them back. Also I went on line to see repair records of car rental company and las vegas dealer but none of their records said they had done any repairs to the airbags at all, so they assumed that someone else did this, but why would I buy extra ins coverage and then try to do something I had no idea to fix when I had paid for it to be done by the dealer???????????not sure of dates?????
