What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
My 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SE has developed a localized area of unresponsive touch input in the lower-center portion of the infotainment touchscreen. The display itself continues to function normally, but touch commands do not register in the affected area.
There is times when driving that the transmission jerks when I press the pedal, like the car is slipping when acceleration. I have 76,600 miles on it.
The Wind blew the passenger side panels off my car while driving. It even took some of the clips from the car. Safe panels should be tested for extreme wind and should not have fallen off
The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and turning on the A/C, the vehicle made an abnormal loud sound and shut off inadvertently. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle with the A/C turned on, the failure reoccurred.
at 16504 while the car is in park and on there is this strong vibration throughout the whole vehicle.
