All 2 Known Issues
On the 2018-2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the Eclipse Cross CVT exhibits a noticeable shudder during light-to-moderate acceleration from a stop. The CVT belt slippage and inconsistent clamping force create a vibration felt through the vehicle, particularly noticeable in the first few minutes of driving.
Common Symptoms
- Vibration during acceleration from stop
- Shudder at low speeds
- RPM fluctuation during steady cruise
How to Fix
Drain and refill the CVT with Mitsubishi DiaQueen CVTF-J4 fluid. A CVT recalibration at the dealer can improve the shift programming. Avoid aggressive launches from a stop to reduce CVT wear.
On the 2018-2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the Eclipse Cross infotainment system, particularly the touchpad controller on pre-facelift models, is difficult to use and prone to erratic cursor behavior. Post-facelift models with the touchscreen still experience occasional freezing and Bluetooth disconnections.
Common Symptoms
- Touchpad cursor jumping erratically
- Screen freezing during use
- Bluetooth dropping during calls
- Slow navigation response
How to Fix
Update the infotainment firmware to the latest version. Clean the touchpad surface with a microfiber cloth for improved responsiveness. Consider a factory reset if the system becomes persistently slow.
