2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 36 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Electrical system8 (22.2%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2018–2019.
• Brakes5 (13.9%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2018.
• Driver-assistance systems3 (8.3%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2018–2019.
• Engine3 (8.3%)
• Air bags (restraint system)2 (5.6%)
• Fuel system2 (5.6%)

Other / uncategorized: 4 classifications (11.1%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (118 records, model years 2018–2025) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, brakes and air bags (restraint system).
• Manufacturer communications (632 records, model years 2018–2026) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.

• P0068 in 2 records
• P061A in 2 records
