Buying a used 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross? Check these 2 recalls first
Both open recalls on the 2018 Eclipse Cross sit in the driver-assist braking system: one where the braking safety system help can be lost, another where the vehicle brakes too long after pedestrian detection. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Owners filed 19 unverified complaints with NHTSA, concentrated in electrical system (8) and service brakes (5), with engine a distant third; that record includes one crash, one fire and two injuries.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for proof both braking-assist recalls were completed by a dealer
- Test forward-collision and pedestrian braking warning lights on a drive
- Check electrical basics: dash warnings, infotainment, lights, accessories
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mitsubishi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
