Story of the "Devil" ***RESOLVED as of 4/9/99!!**
(1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX in RED)

Here is my experience with the worst car I’ve ever gotten my hands on. It started from day one driving home from Flemington Mitsubishi in New Jersey:

I look at car.. And what I see is what I like :). Nice new 1999 Red Eclipse GSX for sale, with about 160 miles on it (so it was drivin from Pennsylvania). I drive the car home. Everything seems cool, even took my dad along. I never get the car about 3000 rpm or above 60 mph. Simply because It has to be broken in until 1000 miles. This car is georgous! Tan leather, turbo, 17" rims, big spoiler on back, all the accessories you can imagine, even mud flaps! So far so good.

10/13/98

Well, time to goto school. Hmmm. As i look around, i notice the passenger seat is loose. Odd. The bolts holding it in are literally off! No big deal. I just tighten them and i’m off. I drive the car around for about 600 miles. Everything in shape. Or so i though...

At about 600 miles, I end up installing some nice sounding air horns. Great sound! I also hook up the fog light fuse to a different relay so I can turn them on while my lights are off. (Just to be different :)). Long behold, as I look around the engine compartment I notice a missing groumet that keeps the radiator from moving. Odd. No big deal. So until I hit 1000 miles, I start pushing the car a bit.. But not to much. Just enough. At 800 miles, I was stuck in traffic and decided to GUN the car just a slight bit to get ahead. Long behold, the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT comes on. Great. I’m becoming very skeptical now.

I call Paul Hozer from BELL Mitsubishi here on Route 1/9 in Jersey (BELL from now on). I schedule an appointment to see what cause the light to come on.

10/28/98

Ok. 8:00 am. I drop off the car with 1430 miles on it at BELL. I actually wait for 2 hours. I tell PAUL (BELL): "Paul, I got a check engine light on a BRAND NEW car. Please find it. By the way, I’m also missing a radiator groument, the left passenger seat was loose, the REAR SPEAKERS vibrate alot even with little bass (not the vibration you get from underpowered or blown speakers), the lights dim imensly if I put a turn signal on, almost as if the battery was low or something, and I get this "squeking" noise under the hood." He says "No prob. We’ll see what we can do."

2 hours later, the car is done. Here is what they found.

- The check engine light was from a TPS sensor code that went out of range. So they "reset it." Light is now off.

They ordered a groument for my radiator.

The speakers were operating properly.

Lights/battery were operating to specs.

Squeaking noise found from a loose window regulator???

OK. So far so good. Time to go back to school. As i’m driving, I notice the SQUEAKING noise is still there. DAMN. They didnt find it. The speakers still vibrate. The lights still dim heavily. Oh well., I’ll live with it.

10/29/98

Next day. As i’m driving (pulling away from stop slowly), the check engine light comes back on. Something is definately wrong here. But wait, theres more. As i’m driving, I accidentally keep the gear in 5^th, at about 30mph. But I wasnt even stepping on the gas, I was in a way coasting, but adding a touch of gas here and there when I started to notice this crazy RATTLE from the drivline. Not a good sign. I’m told I’m not supposed to drive a car at that low of a speed and gassing it, but here is the thing. I’m a mechanic, i KNOW what i’m doing. ANY car can take a dab of gas at 30mph in 5^th gear and NOT RATTLE like CRAZY.. So something is definately wrong. Well, as i’m driving in slow traffic on the Parkway, I also notice every time I take the foot off the gas or dab the gas a bit, on ANY gear or SPEED, a CLANK is heard. This clank reminds me of what I learned in Auto Tech School where if you step on the gas, the engine supplies power to the trans, so if there is any free play between those parts, you’ll here a CLANK sound, BUT, if you take your foot off the gas, the wheels/transmission supply power BACK to the engine, and again if there is free play, the CLANK will be heard as well. This is not looking to good. Oh, one other thing, as I’m driving in ANY gear, I get this odd vibration at 3000 rpm.

10/30/98

Wow. This car is REALLY squeaking the hell out of me. I opened the hood again and after a bit of inspection, I noticed the Hood Hanger was rubbing on a radiator clamp. So, I gave the clamp a turn and viola!. No more squeak. But wait. Whats this? A loose (dangling) vacuum hose!! Great., now I’m starting to think that they forgot to tighten my car since every thing is loose! But wait, there is more! The Overfill tank for the radiator is also just laying in the compartment. Hmm.. I ended up pluging the hose back in and pushing the tank into its slot. Took care of that.

*I changed the oil around 1000 Miles just to be safe.. To some 5w30 type...*

11/04/98

Back to the dealer. (1842 miles on the car now) Now I’m dealing with Terry, who seems like a really cool service guy. He takes care of me real well from this point on. (Thanks). This time I complain of all these problems:

- Check engine still on

- Rear washer sprayer doesnt seem to work

- Backlash in the Transmission (Clanking sound)-> But the dealer took this as being the RATTLING noise I would get in 5^th gear/30mph.

So. I wait about an hour this time. Here is what the dealer does/says:

- TPS was out of range again. So they fixed it AGAIN. Check engine light is off again. Ok.

- Rear washer is fine. They say it "tinkles" back there. Funny, looks like I have to hold the washer lever at least a minute before I see a sign of water back there. Something must be crimped...

- They replaced the groumet for the radiator.

- They say my transmission is fine. The noise is normal (yeah right!).

At this point, I told Terry (BELL), "Hey, can I drive a new GSX you have here. I want to see if my car is actually screwed up or not." He says SURE. Great. First, my car. I drive around, and pop it into 5^th gear around 30mph and just dab the gas slightly. The RATTLING sound is hear tremendously. He thinks its normal. BUT, then I start driving the new GSX with Terry, and I do the same thing. Guess what, this NEW GSX drove completely different than my car!! It was much MUCH smoother, no rattling, no clanking, and even the clutch felt completely different. Unbelievable! At this point, Terry realizes there is something wrong with my car. So we schedule another appointment to bring the car in for a checkup on this problem.

11/5/98

Next day, as I’m driving, the check engine light comes on a THIRD time. I think to myself, "No sweat, I’ll ask my internet buddies if this is normal." From what all my internet buds (at #dsm on IRC :)) the ECU has to be replaced. I got various emails from many people with the same TPS/check engine light problem saying that the dealer replaced the ECU, and the problem was fixed. So I printed up these emails and decided to bring them in the next day to show Terry.

At this point, I call Mistubishi Headquarters (MITSU from here on) and complain. They say they’ll try their best to speed this process up. Yup. Thats all they said. They just want me to be on my way and make me happy. Ok. No problem. They also said they would accomodate me with a Rental if needed. I’m starting to think my car is in big trouble.

So at this point I got an appointment with BELL next week for the RATTLING sound (not the CLANKING sound, which they said was normal ALSO....)

11/6/98

I wake up, go outside, open the garage, and smell this horrendous GASOLINE odor. Guess what? My car is leaking gasoline. And you can see a BIG puddle underneathe the left rear section of the car. At this piont, I call the dealer up immediately. I decide to take my car in right away to get this repaired. At this point, I end up sticking with a RENTAL.

So, since the car is there, I guess they decide to check up on the RATTLING sound as well, and also figure out whats causing the CHECK ENGINE light to come on yet again.

11/9/98

I get a call from Terry (BELL) saying that my ECU needs a ROM PACK to upgrade it. Obviously they arent gonna replace the damn thing, but maybe they came up with a better way of dealing with this problem. Ok.

The car ends up staying in the shop for 5 DAYS. They decide the RATTLING sound comes from a UN-BALANCED drive shaft. So they order one.

They also tried repairing the check engine light but after driving for a bit, it came back on in THEIR hands. So obviously something was wrong there also. The also informed me that no GAS leak was found. That was strange, but a day later they called me back stating that they FOUND a leak in the head gasket to tank area. They say it was caused by an overtightening of the head which crimped the gasket. So they order a new gasket.

11/13/98

Well, gasket came. So they replaced the gasket. I ended up taking the car back home. Check engine light still on and the noises in the trans still apparent.

11/15/98

Today, I noticed gasoline leaking from the rear of the car again. I call up BELL the next day, bring the car there, get a rental AGAIN, and leave it there for about 2 more days. They say that the gasket was crimped again. This time they seemed to have really fixed that because I dont get gasoline leaking anymore. It would usually leak if I had filled the gas tank to full.

So the days pass on, I continue driving the car, Check engine light still on, tremendous noises in the transmission, waiting for the ROM PACK for the ECU and the Drive Shaft.

*Changed the oil again at 3000 miles, but now went SYNTHETIC :) *

12/01/98

Just my day. I get a call from Terry, saying parts have arrived. So, I drop the car off at BELL and get a rental, AGAIN. But this time its short. Later that day I return to pick up my car. But before I pick it up, I had drivin with Terry in the NEW GSX again. This time I showed him again that there was NO RATTLING sound in 5^th gear/30mph and that there was no CLANKING sound as I taped the gas or let the clutch out. He agreed something was wrong. In the afternoon, Terry called me saying the ECU was flashed, so the check engine light is now a thing of the past. He also mentioned that the New drive shaft fixed both the RATTLING sound and the CLANKING sound. I’m happy now.

So, I pick up the car. As i’m driving home, I notice the car is SMOOTH. Maybe they did fix it? Or maybe its just my head telling me so? Because as I shift into 5thgear/30mph, the RATTLING sound appears, but faintly. And guess what. The CLANKING noise is STILL THERE! And its SO annoying. But even worse, my RIGHT SIDE WINDOW doesnt work anymore!! (Please note that the modifications I made to this car could have NO impact in what has happened to it. Simply because they would in no way affect the ECU or TRANSMISSION).

So, here is whats going on (at 3400 miles on car):

Vibration in speakers still aparant (though sources tell me I just have to remove some material around the speaker to eliminate this)

Vibration/Rattling/Clanking noises in trans line still there even with the new shaft

Check Engine light gone so far

Right window not working

Lights dim alot when turning on blinkers, especially at night/cold temperatures.

12/02/98

Well, I went to the dealer today. Terry hoped right out and said "Whats the problem with the car now.. Better yet, lets go for a spin." (I appreciate the work BELL and Terry have been doing.. So far they havent been on my hate list.. Hehe..) Well, turns out the window wasnt stuck. The window LOCK button was depressed. I guess in all the confusion I wasn’t thinking straight. As for the CLANKING noise, I showed him again how it was still there. This time I would keep the car standing and put it in First. I would then slowly let the clutch out and in every second or so, and this was good enough to demonstrate the clanking noise as the clutch engaged (of course the noise was coming from the drive train). His words were "I’ll give MITSU a call today, and let you know maybe by tonight what we’re gonna do. I’ll get an enginneer here to take a look at the car and I’ll mention the LEMON laws."

No problem for me. I already sent my dad to the lawyer with THIS account of all my problems and with all the paper work from the dealers.

Later that day Terry calls me and suggests I bring the car in Friday 4th. They will spend a short time checking the car for tolerences and play in the differentails.

12/03/98
Today, I mailed Mitsubishi the all important LEMON letter, stating my problems and of course telling them they now have 10 DAYS to fix my car, or else I want a new car.

Here it is:

"December 2, 1998

Customer Service Department
Mistubishi Motors of America, Inc.
6400 Katella Ave
Cypress, CA 90630

To Whom It May Concern:

I believe that my 1999 Eclipse GSX is a "lemon" under the New Jersey Lemon Law (N.J.S.A. 56:12-29 to 56:12-49). I am hereby making a written demand for relief under the Lemon Law.

12/04/98
Just came back from BELL. Took my car there again. Terry (BELL) took it in and did some measurements for backlash/play in the rear diff. Supposibly the max specs are at .005, and he got a reading of .008. Another GSX was compared,.. but I dont know the outcome of that. Terry tells me "Maybe I should just get a new car".. and I agree. This car must have so many more problems that will surface.. I STRONGLY think that this car wasnt not tightly assembled. hmmm

12/08/98
Got a call from TERRY today. He sais that he got a call from MITSU telling them (BELL) that they have one more chance to fix my car (i guess the letter got there :)..
Anyhow, we have agreed on an appointment on MONDAY, the 15th... but I'm going to try to re-schedule the appointment for an earlier date. I'm so SICK of driving rentals. And here is my 2 cents.. I dont want to drive a car that I paid $27,000 for with 3year/5year/7year warranties and NEW, TIGHT parts... in which it will now have.. hmm., a new DRIVE SHAFT, maybe a new DIFF, GEARS, TRANS??? If it comes to that, i'm really gonna stick it up there you know what.. i'm gratefull that i'm getting the attention to this matter, but for 27 grand, i wanted a *NEW* car, not a car that has parts replaced. :(

12/10/98
Called up MITSU today. I was just really angry. Told them that I just want a new car. Why bother repairing this mess. The representative said I'de have to speak to Vick C.o.c. (My district manager). But he also said that by LEMON LAW (which they have recieved my letter!) they reserve the right to repair the car one more time. On monday. What do you think? This car is gonna keep on giving me problems. I just know it... :(

12/11/98
How strange.. out of nowhere, I start hearing this SQUEAKING noise coming from the right/rear.. Don't know if its from the inside or the outside.. hmmm

I also got a disturbing question from a friend tonight. As he was standing outside my car talking to me with the windows down, he asked "Hey, your engine sounds bad.. you have like a loose vacuum hose or something?" Whats strange is that when I first bought the car, everyone and their mother asked me the same thing!!? How strange...

12/15/98
Dropped the car off yesterday (on monday). Been driving another RENTAL (a chevy malibu which i must add is VERY quick.. V6!! wo hoo!! hehe)

Since i'm gong on vacation on friday, i better have the car repaired. But i'm seriously going to demand a new car. I dont care. . . its just not fair that I have to own a car thats been dismantled, repaired, and "touched".. its not a virgin anymore.. I feel cheated and i'm going to make sure MITSU gets my point.

12/19/98
DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! Now i'm mad. just got my car back. Everything that I have complained about was turned down by VICK COC (district manager). He supposibly test drove the car. Said "Clunking noises are normal for AWD's", and also said "I shouldnt be driving at 25mph/5th gear cause that causes vibrations".

WHAT??!?!?! I feel like slapping these 'engineers' silly. Why is it that EVERY SINGLE other GSX (new and old) i've driven had driven differently, smoothly, with no vibrations or clunking noises?? I've had various mechanics tell me that my car has problems. My friends tell me my car has problems. I'm a technician, i KNOW what i'm talking about.

My biggest problem is: now what? These problems are annoying, but what worries me more is that their gonna become bigger and worse as the days go on. I wish there was a way :( :( Next thing you know, the warranty is up. Then, OOPS, the drive shafts are stripped!!! (well, you know what i mean.) By the way, they fixed the squeaking problem. Said "Rear bushings needed lube". I'll show them who needs lubbing :) (BELL does a nice job though.. its HEADQUATERS that i'm mad at).

1/7/99
Well, a few weeks later.. i still have the car. But get this. I tried one last desperate attempt to call MITSU Customer Service. I tell them that my car still has this clunking sound that annoys the hell out of me. And I dont want this car anymore. Since MITSU engineers are saying that clunking is normal on AWD cars (i dont even know if this is true.. i wish someone could give me some theory to prove this), i'm saying that I dont want a car that clunks. Its ANNOYING! Dont I have a right to get my money back? ROB (MITSU) tells me that they are now out of the ball game. They tell me that they have done everything they can, that the car is fine, and that if i want my money it will be impossible. So to end this, i'm left wondering what I should do?? I dont have anymore options (a lawyer wont work because i have no claims to prove that the car is screwed up.. no referrals., etc..). I'm going to give the NJ Lemon REP a call to see what he can do. The car is at 4600 miles now.

1/13/99
Oh boy. The car is about to hit 5000miles. Its snowing up here. I decided to take my car to GLOBAL mitsubishi on route 22. Went there, complained to the Service rep there that my car is screwed up. Told him VICK c.o.c. took a look at it, and he said "Woah.. If Vick says its good, there is nothing i can do."

So, I go up front and beg a salesman to let me drive one of their new GSX's. Took them 20 minutes to get the car started. Was flooded or something. Regardless, I 'tore' it up. As best as i could. No CLUNKING noises heard, even if I let the clutch out quickly. Sales guy drives it a bit also. Then, he (and I) take a crack at my car. Again, a MAJOR difference. He tells me there is something wrong with my car. without a doubt.

I go back to the service department and beg the rep to drive my car. He gives in finally. As *HE* drives it, he doesnt see anything bad. He takes it around a few times, driving moderately to fast. I take control and tell him "you have to drive it SLOWLY and calmly like your in traffic". So as i'm driving i show him all the sounds (and i also started noticing a squeeking noise under there now.. DAMN!!)

He starts writing things down. And he too then says that something isnt right. So he suggest i goto BELL mitsu and get something straightened out.

As i'm driving home, i find a NEW way to demonstrate the problem. If i drive at 40mph in 4th gear, and tap the gas 3 to 4 times a second, i get this:

Clunk-a... Clunk-a... Clunk-a..squeek... Clunk-a .. Clunk.. etc...

NOW i have a definate legite way to show these guys there is something wrong. And guess what, that SQUEEK noise is new, and the CLUNK is SO loud now!! (maybe the new drive shaft they put in made it worse??)

I get home, and call BELL and speak to Terry (Service Rep). I tell him "Hi. member me? i'm 2 seconds away from calling my lawyer if my car doesnt get fixed." I suggested we try installing those shims. in the rear diff case (to bring the tolerence from .008 to .005). If it works.. its all good. He said he would speak to Vick at Atlantic City tonight and to call him (terry) monday.

1/17/99
I ran over a HUGE pot hole on the 15th.. at night. BENT my front right RIM (ouch). funny thing is all my problems went away for two days :) but their back. Now, if i drive at 20mph, 2nd gear, and i quickly modulate the clutch, i get a "pan rattling" sound under the car, the squeaking noise is back, something is loose under there, and when i start the car, i get a strange quiver from it (sounds like the muffler is loose). This car has been loose this and loose that since day one!!!!

I called TERRY today at 9 am. He says he didnt have a chance to speak with the engineer. I told him "Terry, i'm calling my lawyer!" Now things are gonna get nasty.

1/27/99
No lawyer... a friend had informed me to try the Better Business Beareu AND Consumer affairs. I sent them both packets with all this information. No response from them yet.

Oh, another thing. I started to notice how when i'm stopped at a RED light, car idleing, I hit the brakes, and the RPM goes down.. almost until stalling!! that is so wierd.. Seems as if this car is trying TO hard to keep those rear lights working.. hmmm

And also, those CLUNKING noises have gotten worse. ITS NOT MY DRIVING.. because a brand new car is not supposed to give way this quick.. plus look at all the previous problems.. its a tall tale sign. So I sent the Lemon Rep in New Jersey a packet also, trying to see if there is anything else they can do so I don't have to get a lawyer... Oh, and the car is at 6000 miles.. another 30 bucks on an oil change. DAMN... Wish me luck :)

2/14/99
Bad news!!! my car was attemptedly broken into at NJIT 2 days ago! The theifs punched both the locks IN and tried prying the door handle of the passenger side off. They also tried to put a screwdriver on top of the passenger side door and PRY open the window.. To no luck of course. The car was still there when i arrived and an officer spotted the guys, so they fled. Now i have to deal battle with an insurance company.

This car is becoming my worst nightmare. I'm still waiting on Consumer Affairs for a reply on getting a court reputle or something. The lemon law is going to the next step. I'll keep you informed. And my car is getting WORSE.

3/8/99
Lets see. $600 bucks to repair the damage. Car is still at the shop (for 2 weeks already. parts havent come in yet). No word from mitsubishi (although i have received a letter from them asking to give them 3 WEEKS to get all my car's paperwork together so they can come to a final conclusion). Tomorow will make the end of WEEK 3. Its getting tight. No word from consumer affairs (i think they lost my paper work, .. i keep calling and they keep telling me they cant find my paperwork, so i keep mailing it and faxing it and emailing it.. ), the BBB has already sent them a notice (thats why Mitsubishi sent me that letter).

Funny. I think that Subaru 2.5RS looks really tempting now (it was my original love/car). :)

3/11/99
I called Mitsubishi headquarters yesterday again FLAMING the guy that if this is not resolved promplty, my lawyer is gonna get a ring in a few days.

Guess what... Mediation manager Mr. Palakin gave me a call today. He said a few things.. But one important phrase: "What would you like to do. Your money back, or a new car..."

Looks like my efforts seem to be working. Well, I opted for my money back. Getting my money back, minus 300/400 bucks for mileage offset (which I never heard about in the Lemon Law article) gives me the option to look around for something else. Sadly, I might by the same car. I fell in love with the interior, what can I say. The power, the look, its everything. Maybe a subaru 2.5RS wont make it? Its just not the same without the turbo, leather, cockpit interior... I wish the Supra was around, but its not AWD either. And all 2000 models dont attract me. Its tough. Regardless, Mr. Palikan said that Vick C.O.C (district manager for east coast) would receive the check around end of March, and would contact me beginning of April. I was told its going to be hard to find one just like mine again. I dont know at the moment. I hope this goes through well. I'll keep everyone informed. Again, wish me luck.

By the way, my eclipse is at 7150 miles today. It rattles and clunks and squeaks ALL OVER THE PLACE. Its getting worse. Oh well.

3/30/99
Getting very dismal these past few days. I've been receiving mail from mitsubishi's LAWYERS here and their. And Consumer Affairs has set me up with a COURT date!! On May 5th. The Lawyers have sent mail stating that the problems my car is experiencing by no way "Substantially impair the safety, value, or use of the motor vehicle." BUT, Mr. Palikan (Mitsu Mediation Manager, the guy who said I can get a check back) called me this morning saying the check is on its way to Mr. Doyle (Service manager from BELL mitsubishi, who I think is a really cool guy.. odd..). Once he gets the check, I bring car there, nice and clean. And we swap. By this friday or next friday. Lets hope. HOPE everyone. I need it now.

Car hits 8340miles (And so does my Motorcycle). 8340 miles since October 15... is that alot of mileage??

4/9/99
Well, good news. Yesterday, i traded in the car for the check. So now, i have all my money back in posesion.!! This is VERY good news. I'm glad mitsubishi pulled through. NOW, i have a few things to do. Find a new car, and CANCEL the court date I have on May 6th. So this episode is now resolved. READ the next episode, where I will be logging what the NEW car is like (possibly a white GSX.. same thing.. of course). So far, I test drove it today.. boy was it different. :)

Thanks to everyone for the responses/pity/help. Especially the crew at IRC #dsm!! They pretty much guided me with all my options. OH! while driving the old car to the dealer to trade in for my check, I got a check engine light come on.. Also, about 2 weeks ago, I unplugged the TPS sensor (a friend of mine had told me that MITSU probably disabled the check engine light..) and started/drove the car. The check engine light NEVER CAME ON!! How strange. The car went into the dealer with 9120 miles (needed an oil change already)

To read the NEXT episode which will include logs of the NEW gsx i'm going to buy, click HERE P.S. I ETCHED the word Lemon on the front left shock mount from inside the hood. Its inscribed there. I hope who ever ends up with that car will sooner or later find it:)
