2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Safety Report

The 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, being a very new model, has a limited safety data set from NHTSA, with only 4 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported. This low complaint volume is typical for a vehicle in its first model year. There are no recalls issued for this model year to date. NHTSA has not yet published official safety ratings (Overall, Frontal, Side, Rollover) for the 2025 Eclipse Cross, meaning its crashworthiness performance is currently unassessed by the agency. Despite the low volume, some early patterns are emerging from the 4 complaints. One significant concern involves the POWER TRAIN, specifically a complaint about the vehicle being able to be switched off while not in park, remaining in Neutral, and potentially rolling away. This represents a critical safety risk. Another complaint points to issues with the ENGINE, describing a 'No Crank or Power' problem occurring twice within 9,000 miles. Furthermore, a complaint under UNKNOWN OR OTHER,LANE DEPARTURE highlights a recurring 'Driver Assist Camera Blocked / Disabled' message, which disables the lane departure warning system, impacting active safety features. Finally, a STRUCTURE complaint details a detached drip rail molding while driving at 40 MPH. Given the lack of crash test data and the very small number of complaints, it is premature to draw definitive conclusions about the overall safety of the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. However, the early complaints, particularly regarding the power train's park function and the lane departure system, warrant close monitoring. The 'No Crank or Power' issue, while not directly safety-related in all instances, points to potential reliability concerns.

Our recommendation: Given the very limited data and absence of crash test ratings, exercise caution. Monitor for future NHTSA complaints and recalls, especially concerning the reported power train and driver assist system issues, before making a purchase decision.
