Electrical, fuel system, and brake issues among the top complaints about the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. Theres a serious recall related to the electrical system on the Eclipse Cross. NHTSA Campaign Number 18V621000 states that some of the safety systems might not function as intended, increasing the chance of an accident. The faults occur with the Adaptive Cruise Control, Electric Parking Brake, Anti-lock Braking, Electronic Stability Control, Brake Auto Hold, and Automatic Emergency Braking. It seems that nearly all of the active driver-assiSTSoftware is fighting the Eclipse Cross, like a bad sci-fi film.Service Bulletin #TSB-19-17-001 states that customers could smell fuel coming from the cabins air vents when the engine is running and recirculation mode is off. The cause of this problem is the leftover fuELResidue left inside the breather hose that is permeating through the outside and requires that dealers replace the vacuum pipe, hose assembly, and breather hose to prevent the smell from occurring.

I’ve had nothing but problems with my 2018. I bought with 25k miles and am now at 42k. In the last few months I have had it burning oil and using excessive oil to where I checked the exhaust Yesterday and there was actual oil in there when I swiped my finger along with the black from it burning jt.The electrical system failed on me on Christmas Eve and it would not accelerate I almost got hit by a truck and it revs when I start sometime up past 2500.

Most of the problems you will find with the 2018 mitsubishi eclipse will come from not maintaining the vehicle and can include engine failure, transmission failure, and wear and tear on the brakes. As long as you keep to the vehicles maintenance schedule however there should not be an abundance of issues. Other common issues can include bad brake pads, old oil in the system, or burned out wires. These things should be checked over if buying used.
