2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

While attempting to park head-on into a parking stall, the car suddenly excellerated at high speed and hit a parking barrier head on. At no time prior to hitting the parking barrier did the drive touch the excellerator pedal. Although the entire front end of the vehicle was totalled into a "V" shape the air bags never deployed. Driver attempted to brake but it was too late, happened too fast. After the impact and with the brake pedal fully engaged the car was still moving. A passerby jumped into the passenger seat and was abel to put the car into park. Police were notified but no accident report was issued according to the responding officier becasue it happened on private property.

I purchased this vehicle brand new, and since the beginning I have experienced a problem with the air conditioning system. The A/C compressor turns on and off approximately every five seconds while the air conditioning is operating. This constant cycling appears abnormal and affects the system's performance and the overall driving experience. I have taken the vehicle to the authorized dealership on three separate occasions to have the issue inspected. Each time, I was told that this behavior is "normal" and that no repairs were necessary. However, I do not believe this is normal operation for a new vehicle, especially considering the extremely frequent compressor cycling. I am concerned that this may indicate a defect in the air conditioning system or another related component that could lead to premature wear or failure. Despite multiple visits to the dealership, the issue remains unresolved. I am submitting this complaint so the issue can be investigated and to determine whether other owners are experiencing the same problem.

Me and my kids were on the way to the store and the front part of my panoramic sunroof exploded from the inside out. I took it to my dealership and the company is denying that it is a manufacturer issue. I have seen articles where this is a known issue for these types of sunroof. I didn't hit anything, nothing flew from a vehicle and hit my car, and nothing fell on my car. There was no warning light or indicator that went off in the car. My husband did get a weird email from Mitsubishi stating there was something wrong, but unable to detect what it was on 08/13 and then this happens on 08/23.

The day after I purchased this car I returned to dealership bc my phone would not connect which was the single reason for choosing this car, I was promised it was a simple update problem over the next few weeks I realized there were more issues with the electrical system as if the car had a mind of its own. The dealership promised everything and delivered nothing the phone never connected to the car Mitsubishi blamed the dealership the dealership playing Mitsubishi everybody took my money and laughed their way to the bank nobody picks the problem and everyone ignored me for whatever reason lemon law didn't apply because the car never went in for service it was all "remote" and upload download updates ECT... Months went by and no one would help the car already cost me a fortune bc of all the lies the dealer made and their refusal to return my trade in after repeatedly asking since their vehicle did not work. I have the upgraded model w all the extra safety features however when I was involved in a hit n skip several weeks ago not one single air bag deployed, the car did not recognize the collision nor did it automatically contact emergency services. I was driving approx 35 MPH and slammed by a old full size pickup truck coming out of a parking aggressively trying to get away impacting the passenger front quarter panel and door driving the wheel wheel into the tire. Everyone who sees the car or sees pictures thinks the car is totaled the impact was so hard a aluminum thermos filled with iced tea with grown from the passenger seat on top of the dashboard almost breaking the windshield yet the car did not detect a collision I have emails after email alerting the dealer and manufacturer this car was dangerous and not working correctly and no one would respond now it is obvious the car has NOT BEEN FIXED YET honestly I don't want it they would not listen now they can see for themselves and take it back it's DANGEROUS BEEN DANGEROUS WILL ALWAYS BE DANGEROUS
