Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Powertrain (other)
Filed Mar 2, 2026

Shift lever/gear control and indicator devices: The vehicle can be switched off even when it isn't in park, and this action does not engage the parking function. Instead, it remains in Neutral, which means the car may roll—even on a slight slope like a driveway. This poses a safety risk as the car could potentially move and endanger people exiting the vehicle. If the person is not attentive or physically unable to react quickly, child/elderly/pets, anyone really, the door could knock them over, possibly causing more serious bodily harm from the tires or other parts of the vehicle since it continues to move.

Driver assistance
Filed Dec 23, 2025

The vehicle repeatedly displays “Driver Assist Camera Blocked / Disabled” upon startup and while driving, even when the windshield is clean and weather conditions are clear. When this occurs, the lane departure warning system becomes disabled while driving. This happens without driver input and results in loss of lane safety alerts. Additionally, the driver’s side power window intermittently stops moving while the switch is being held in the up or down position. The window does not complete its movement unless the switch is released and pressed again. There is no obstruction present. Safety risk: Unexpected loss of lane departure warning while driving increases crash risk, especially at highway speeds or at night. A driver’s window that stops responding can cause distraction and prevent timely closure in traffic or adverse weather. Warning messages: “Driver Assist Camera Blocked / Disabled” Frequency: Intermittent but recurring Mileage at first occurrence: 191

The contact owns a 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The contact stated that the vehicle was recently purchased. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, other drivers were waving to contact, attempting to notify the contact that the drip rail molding on the driver's side had detached. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and reattached the drip rail molding. However, the drip rail molding detached again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer ordered the replacement part since the vehicle had a warranty. A week later, when the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for repairs, the contact was informed that the office manager refused to repair the vehicle under the warranty. The contact was informed that the repair would be an out-of-pocket expense. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,235.
