Mitsubishi transmission problems
Owners have filed 1,945 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Mitsubishi vehicles — 13% of everything reported about the brand, across 36 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Eclipse, worst in 1995.
These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
