WHEN I USE THE ACC, AND THE HIGHWAY IS HILLY, THE ACC WILL ENGAGE THE FCM (FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION), RESULTING IN THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED, SOMETIMES FORCEFULLY, RESULTING IN AN IMMEDIATE SLOW DOWN OF MY VEHICLES SPEED. THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AS THOSE AROUND ME HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AS WELL. WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS, THE ACC DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE UNTIL NOW.

THE LOW GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL NOTIFY ME THAT I HAVE 50 MILES LEFT ON MY TANK AND WITHIN 5 MILES WILL GO TO 0 WITH WARNING LIGHTS TO REFUEL IMMEDIATELY. IT DOES NOT SAY HOW MANY MILES ARE LEFT. IT RAPIDLY GOES FROM 50 MILES LEFT TO 0. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE TO DATE, WHEN THERE IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE GAS STATION NEAR ME.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross verdict →
