Dealership Closed I have 2006 Eclipse Mits was scheduled to have heat shield replaced (covered under warrenty) @Denny Hecker-Forest Lake,MN - this dealership is now closed too bankrupcy. What or were do I take my car? The only dealer is Walser Mits in White Bear Lake, MN but these dealers do not want to take repairs when under warranty because it ties up profit in there shops.

its under a heat shield on the back side of the engine. remove the three bolts holding the shield on and unplug the switch. then remove it using a deep socket

It is not the TCM, it is a failed transmission.

engine? the maintenance schedule says every 30K miles. I would follow that, and use top quality coolant.

Need to know the milage and date of original purchase

would need to drive the vehicle to know exactly ,could be a bearing or a drive shaft coupling but without a drive its nearly imp?ssible to say ,sorry

if they warrentied their work, that would be my first move. you can get an a/c freon recharge kit that has a guage from most auto parts stores.

the spark plugs are in the top of the engine going thru the valve cover into the cylinder head. you might have a plastic cover that is over top of the valve cover which is covering up the spark plugs. they are very easy to change out.

its by your intake manifold on the bottom of the engine block. there is a heat shield covering it which will need to be removed to get to it

I had a simailar problem with my 2006 F-150 Brakes and this was after bringing it in for the recall mentioned above ( Recall 08505) The brakes were good until I had about 34K miles and then one day
the brakes started to grind and screach when applying brakes at low speed. As the above reader had stated, No warning! I do not understand in a day of high technology that ford does not have a senson that indicated your brake pads have worn out. This truck has been a pain in the 2 years of ownership, it has been in the service department for a transmisssion problem ( 4x4 Transfer motor replaced)
power stearing pump replaced and the recall, now the brake issue. Now I know why more guys are going to Toyota or Nissan Full Size Trucks. This is my last Ford Truck!
