Eclipse 6-cyl

  • 172,000 miles
While driving northbound on 95 in Virginia (about 20 mins outside of richmond) my 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse's accelerator became stuck. The car ended up overheating and the brakes failed (the front driver rotor actually ripped apart) before I put the car into neutral.
