The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Certain passenger vehicles may have been fitted with a defective brake booster assembly. The booster body could separate due to improper crimp joints, resulting in a total loss of brake system performance, which could result in a crash. Dealers will inspect and repair the brake booster assembly. Owners were notified by telephone on May 24, 2005, to stop driving their vehicles and arrangements were made for a loaner vehicle. Owners can contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
|
|
Description:
|
On certain passenger vehicles, one of four seals inside the master cylinder may have been installed improperly. As a result, the master cylinder may unexpectedly bypass braking force pressure and allow a longer than normal pedal stroke. Should this condition occur, the braking distance required to stop the vehicle will increase and could lead to a vehicle crash. Dealers will replace the master cylinder assembly. The recall is expected to begin on June 28, 2005. Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.

Summary:
|
All-new model is roomier and more stylish.
By Tom Lankard, NewCarTestDrive.com
The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is truly new. It's roomier and should appeal to a wider audience, but it still delivers sporty transport and good looks.New Car Test Drive correspondent Tom Lankard filed this report from Northern California. |
|
Overview:
|
This is neither the time nor the place to belabor Mitsubishi's struggles in the U.S. new car market. Suffice to say, if the discussion focuses on product, the company's problems seem overblown and surmountable. The all-new 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse illustrates well this apparent conundrum. New all the way through, from the ground up and from front to rear, it's a strong statement of the company's commitment to its loyal owner base and its investment in the vital U.S. market. The car's a worthy entry, too. New engines are more powerful yet efficient and are paired with new transmissions. The new body rides on a new platform. Altogether, it's a promising package. Driver and front passenger get more room. Stylistically, it's a pleasant improvement over the previous-generation (pre-2006) models. Fewer straight lines and sharp angles, more curves and better proportions combine to turn heads more with a smile than with a frown. The window sticker leaves a positive impression, too. The base 2006 Eclipse GS boasts a manufacturer's suggested retail price that's $300 less than the '05's MSRP. And the '06 boasts more standard equipment, in creature comfort, performance and safety features than the '05. Moreover, the new Eclipse GT starts at $450 less than the '05 GTS, the model with which it most directly compares, and which it easily outpaces in terms of power and features. Clearly, Mitsubishi intends to stay around. And the new Eclipse will certainly help.
