2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross problems: recalls, complaints and whether this is a year to avoid

Is 2019 a good year for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?

Complaint volume is fairly even across this nameplate, so the model year is a weaker signal here than it is on many cars. Read the components below rather than the totals.

Older years have been on the road longer and collect more complaints for that reason alone, and a year that sold in higher volume collects more while being no worse.

The 2019 accounts for 35% of every complaint filed against the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in this retrieval, which works out to 1.9 complaints per year on the road across the 7 years since it was sold new — the figure to compare against other years, because it removes the advantage a newer car gets simply from having had less time to accumulate reports.

Which recalls cover the 2019?

Take the campaign number to any franchised Mitsubishi dealer. Recall repairs are free with no mileage or ownership limit, and they follow the car rather than the owner, so a used 2019 with an unrepaired campaign is a free repair you can claim. How recalls work.

Recall text is abridged from the NHTSA record. Search the campaign number at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the full notice and affected VIN ranges.

What do owners report on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?

Across every Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross year, not the 2019 alone — NHTSA does not split component totals by model year.

If your 2019 is doing something now, these are the guides for that system — each opens with whether it is safe to keep driving:
