As with the early 2000's recall the paint (Clear coat) on Kalapana Black (Code X13) has started to peel off and Mitsubishi refused to address the issue. My vehicle has less than 75k miles and has been garaged most of its life as it is not a daily driver and I am the only owner. Mitsubishi recalled the earlier years but stopped it I believe in 2002 being the latest year but seems they continued the painting practices.

The top coat, clear coat, of paint has begun to separate from the black paint. This is happening very rapidly and continues to spread over the top of the car. There was a recall for this in late 90's early 2000's for the exact same reason for the exact same color of vehicle.

The contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The contact stated that the lower part of the dashboard on the passenger side of the vehicle had split apart above the passenger air bag compartment. The contact took the vehicle to a local body shop and was informed that there were no recalls or defects on the vehicle. The contact was informed that if the vehicle were involved in a collision, the passenger air bag would not deploy. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 113,000.

The paint job, does not hold up. I take good car of my car and there is paint deterioration on the hood and now on the trunk. I heard about this from several Eclipse owners.
