Eclipse Stellar
2011–2014
Check this VIN's history before you buy — accidents, title issues, odometer records.
Data Availability
Milemark has only 5 classified NHTSA complaints for the 2011–2014 Eclipse Stellar. This extremely limited sample tells us almost nothing about overall reliability. The Stellar is a recreational vehicle—a category where owners often don't report issues to NHTSA—so low complaint counts do not imply reliability.
What We Know From Recalls
Two recalls are on record, both involving RV equipment: one for oven/stove/cooktop components and one related to LPG (propane) systems. These are safety-critical systems in an RV. Check that any unit you consider has had these recalls completed.
Owner Watch-Outs
All 5 complaints in our database involve subframe corrosion, reported at a median of around 6,100 miles. While the sample is too small to declare this a widespread defect, corrosion on a vehicle's structural frame is serious. For any RV stored outdoors or used in wet/salt environments, inspecting the subframe for rust should be a priority.
How to Research Further
Given limited data, get a pre-purchase inspection from an RV-certified technician focusing on frame integrity, propane systems, and appliances. Join Eclipse owner forums and request a vehicle history report by VIN to check for prior damage or service records.
Not confident checking all of this yourself? A pre-purchase inspection from a mobile mechanic typically runs $100–200 and catches most of what's listed above.
Trends
Complaint trends by era
5 complaints · 1 recall
5-year windows, not manufacturer generations — this database doesn't have reliable platform/redesign data to draw real generation boundaries from. Recent model years show fewer complaints mainly because they have been on the road less time, not necessarily because they're more reliable — read this as complaint volume and mix by era, not a reliability trend.
What breaks, and when
Median onset: 6,133 miles.
From owner-filed complaints to NHTSA, not independently verified. Federal mileage reporting on recent complaints is sparse — see methodology.
