All 3 Known Issues
On the 2022-2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2.4L PHEV, the Eclipse Cross PHEV experiences intermittent Level 2 charging failures where the charger initiates but disconnects within minutes. Communication errors between the onboard charger and EVSE, as well as ground fault detection sensitivity, cause failed sessions.
Common Symptoms
- Level 2 charging stopping within minutes
- Charging indicator blinking error pattern
- Vehicle not recognizing charger connection
How to Fix
Try different charging stations to rule out EVSE compatibility issues. Update the onboard charger firmware at the dealer. Reset the charging system by disconnecting the 12V battery for 15 minutes. Use the included Level 1 charger as a reliable backup.
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.
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.
