What NHTSA data shows for Mitsubishi

Across the 9 Mitsubishi models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2022), NHTSA has 10,507 owner complaints on file and 174 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are brakes (1,144), transmission and drivetrain (944), engine and cooling (699). The Mitsubishi Eclipse has the most complaints of any Mitsubishi, with 2,486. Data as of 2026-10-12.

Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: when the top complaint is brakes, read our guide to deciding whether to repair or junk before you take an offer.
