- CVT judder, shudder and belt slip (automatic)Serious
The Jatco CVT fitted to automatic Eclipse Cross models can develop whine, judder or shudder, particularly when hot, and in severe cases slip into limp mode. Fault data logs CVT belt slip or overheating as a high-risk issue typically appearing from around 50,000 miles, starting with a fluid change or valve-body work and ending in a costly rebuild. Honest John owners describe the CVT as noisy under acceleration, and Car Magazine's long-term testers named the gearbox among the car's main irritants, preferring the manual. As the Eclipse Cross was petrol-only in the UK, every automatic example has this CVT.
- Unresolved brake and FCM recall campaignsSerious
Mitsubishi ran three UK recall campaigns on the Eclipse Cross: in November 2018 the brake hydraulic unit could be interrupted and the forward-collision-mitigation camera could trigger the brakes unnecessarily (DVSA R/2018/285 and R/2018/286), and in November 2021 the front wheel-arch moulding could detach at speed (R/2021/334). Remedies are free, but on a used car the work may never have been done. Auto Express reported up to 17,633 cars potentially affected by the brake software campaigns, and all campaigns are searchable by registration on GOV.UK.
