Recently reported SUSPENSION problems on 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder

When i first purchased this vehicle from the dealer 6/2001 i had to take it back 2 times due to the defect of the hose hooked to the radiator, they repaired it under warrany, and now it has occurred again which all mitsubishi dealers tell me because it is not under warranty and not on the recall list there is nothing they can do. i just got done putting brand new sway bar links on the car, and paid 350.00 to do this in which they told me should never occurred on this new of a car. i feel since i reported the problems with the noise from the first week i got the car all the way until recent when i fixed it, they overlooked it and ignored the problem which could have cost me and my son our lives. i feel mitsubishi should cover these things since there is proof i took it in over 13 times for the same complaint noise under the car (sway bar links) and radiator fluid leaking all over the engine and burning. please note this has been occuring since 7/2001 the month and year i have marked below are for the defective hoses on my radiator causing fluid to leak all over the engine and burn and this was verified on this date below by a professional shop. this has not caught fire yet but smoke comes from under the hood of the car all the time after it has been running.*ak

I have replaced one front wheel at my cost due to the edge bending enought that it would not hold air. i have also had 2 more rims repaired, again at my cost, for similar reason. the front suspension on the spyder does not tolerate normal wear and tear for average roads. mitsubishi has refused to admit that the design of the vehicle or the wheel could be at fault for repeated failure.

Consumer feels a vibration in the vehicle at speeds higher than 45 mph and at time is felt at low speeds. when the car goes over small bumps it feels like it's going to fall apart and sometimes a loss of control occurs. nlm
