Since October 2001, my Eclipse has been stalling without warning. Both the ``check engine'' and ``oil'' lights illuminate and I lose control of the vehicle as it slows to a stop. This has happened to me while driving 65 mph on the freeway. Each time, I've nearly been rear-ended. Several mechanics have run diagnostic checks on my car. But the problem has never been detected. Meanwhile, my car continues to cut out when least expected and regardless of speed. I wish this problem could be diagnosed as I see from other complaints that I'm not the only one driving a death trap.

I have had to replace 3 brand new batteries which were still under warranty, because they were totally drained. I believe there is something wrong with the electrical system. There is nothing that I have done that should have caused the batteries to die. The blower on the air conditioner/heat doesn't work and the dealer states that they can't find anything wrong with it. The cover of the passenger side airbag is prying up from the dashboard. I have had the brakes replace 2 times all ready and now all the rotors are warped and need to be replaced. I think this vehicle make has very serious defects and after reviewing other consumers problems. I'm very glad that I plan to sell mine very shortly.
