#137 of 474 about broken door handle by lildevil00 Dec 27, 2003 (8:14 pm)
I bought a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse in March of 2003. In June of 2003, my drivers door handle broke. The dealership was gonna charge me $137 to fix it. In November 2003, my passenger door handle broke. I had no way of getting in the car except to crawl thru the trunk or roll my window half way down. A friend of mine showed me how to open it using the door handle until the door handle just broke off. Well this morning, my drivers door handle broke off. I have an extended warrenty that doesnt cover this, seems to me it doesnt cover anything to be honest with you. I cant find the door handles anyway. I cant believe that ive found 2 people with 1998 eclipse's with broke door handles. I am hoping i can use it as some kind of proof to get it fixed for free. i doubt it. When your door handle broke, did it break in the back part of the handle first? Feel free to email me at LilDevil4747aol.com anyone for that matter than has had this problem with a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

#140 of 474 2001 Wheel Problems by jca1013 Jan 13, 2004 (6:53 pm)
I have a 2001 GT with 17 inch alloy wheels and 215/50R17 Goodyear Eagle tires all factory equipment. I have had to have the wheels straightened many times from pot hole damage. One wheel could not be repaired and had to be replaced. Is anyone else experiencing these wheel bending problems with their Eclipse? I am considering a tire with a heavier sidewall to protect the wheel better but I don't know if such a tire is available. This is the only car I have experienced a wheel bending problem. Any help would be appreciated.
#141 of 474 2001 Wheel Problems by qrs Feb 16, 2004 (11:42 am)
I have a 2000 Eclipse, which originally had the same tires that you have and does still have the same wheels. I have had a lot of trouble with bent wheels as well. I've been told that there's just not enough rubber on these low-profile tires to protect the wheels from our driving conditions (i.e., bumpy roads with potholes). It costs $100 per wheel to unbend them, and it's adding up. I don't know what the solution is. Anyone else?

#143 of 474 Timing Belt by markc Jun 03, 2004 (12:44 pm)
I do not know if my last message went through but I will post it again, does anyone know if the pistons on a 98' eclipse GS are recessed for valve clearance?
#144 of 474 re: timing belt by lngtonge18 Jun 03, 2004 (1:40 pm)
The 2.0 Neon based engine is an interference design, meaning if the belt breaks, the head is trashed.
#145 of 474 Engine Light by markc Jun 04, 2004 (8:28 am)
The engine light on my 98' eclipse GS went off whenever I drive on highway more than 1 hour and the way I reset the system is to disconnect the battery cable. Anyone have similar problem?
#146 of 474 re: engine light by lngtonge18 Jun 05, 2004 (2:02 pm)
Just take the car to autozone or a similar auto parts store and they can hook up a scanner and read the code for you for free. If the light keeps coming on, resetting it by disconnecting the battery will not help. You need to find out the code so you can determine what's wrong and decide whether its worth fixing. It could be an oxygen sensor giving off bad readings on the highway or a loose connection somewhere in the emissions system.
