Eclipse 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles
Car dies while driving at various speeds. This needs to be a recall. This can be very dangerous and the dealerships have no idea what the problem is. Have had numerous things replaced and it has been in the shop more then four times for this same reason. I know the tow truck driver by name. It's a shame that this hasnt been a recall. I guess there needs to be more accidents first!!!
