I received a recall notice in july that the brakes could fail if the ABS is activated. Mitsubishi referred me to a dealer (the only dealer in nevada). The dealer said they can't make any repairs, because they don't have the parts to fix the car. So, I called mitsubishi, and they said there is no repair solution available. So I requested a loaner, since my car is not safe to drive. They told me they don't supply loaners, and that I should continue driving the car unless the brakes fail. Unbelievable! Two months later, the brakes failed after ABS system was activated in the rain and I slid through an intersection almost causing a major accident on a city street at 45mph after trying to stop using the emergency brake. The dealer wants to charge me for the tow (because the vehicle is disabled) and for storage (because they allegedly don't have parts to do the repair). Mitsubishi offered no help whatsoever. They referred me back to the dealer, and the dealer claims they can't make the repair. I told mitsubishi about my previous experience, and they were no help at all. They said they aren't authorized to make any decisions, and that only the dealership can opt to tow/repair the car or supply a loaner. So now my car sits in the parking lot, broken down with no brakes, with a recall notice in the passenger seat. They want me to tow the car 45 miles out of my own pocket, or drive the car with no brakes. Then they expect me to pay for the loaner. And they expect me to pay for storage while the car sits on their lot waiting for mitsubishi to come up with a repair solution. Unbelievable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 mitsubishi eclipse. The contact stated that the brake pedal was slow to respond and difficult to depress. While traveling at an unknown rate of speed, the brake pedal was applied and did not respond. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle twice. The driver did not receive medical attention from either crash, but sustained neck and back pains. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. During the first crash, four tires separated from the vehicle. During the second crash, the two front tires fractured. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop for further inspection. The contact later received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v337000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and was unable to determine when the recall repair would be completed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.
While performing a stop the brake pedal lost all pressure and went to the floor. The car did stop but took longer to do so. After reviewing the recall notice for ABS brakes I brought the vehicle to a mitsubishi dealer who confirmed there was a recall but did not inspect anything beyond driving the car to test the brakes. Between the time of the incident and the one and a half weeks they claimed was the next available appointment the brakes returned to normal operation. The recall (15v337) states the hydraulic unit will be flushed, cleaned and inspected. The dealer indicated they were only testing the braking system by driving it and when the incident did not produce the same result, that was the end of their responsibility until I received a certified letter from the manufacturer. This recall was issued in may 2015 and it is now the beginning of october 2015. The manufacturer is obviously delaying doing the appropriate inspection and repair while this dangerous issue continues to affect many consumers.

When driving home from work going 30 MPH I turned right and needed to stop at a red light approximately 200 feet ahead. When I depressed my break pedal it went all the way down to the floor board and had very little, if any reaction. Also, there was a strange sound when I took my foot off the pedal. I took the car to a dealer in goodlettsville, tn to be diagnosed but they said it was something totally different than the problem I was having. I declined the service. It has happened many times since then, with my breaks going back to normal after I stop and restart the car. However, a few weeks ago this happened and they have not gone back to normal. After finding the recall, I have called the dealership nearest me but they said they cannot fix it yet because they are waiting on parts, and it is my job, yet because of their faulty engineering, to bring a car that I will not drive because of this major safety issue to them. It is taking mitsubishi an excessive amount of time to secure parts for this major safety issue.

I had just purchased car and I had all maintenance items done at aaa garage to include timing belt, serpentine belt, oil change, tune up, anti freeze flush, tires rotated, etc. There was nothing ndonevto brakes as they still had life in them. I know more maintenance items were done but I forget as my receipt is elsewhere. Happy now I could drive my car knowing the timing belt and other maintenance things were done I left the dealership. I had only gone approximately 10 miles and came to stop light. No brakes. We called aaa and brought it right back. They weren't sure why no brakes as they seem to work ok now. So the only thing left that hadn't been done was the brake fluid replacement and flush. We had that done and we drove it home ok. There were greeted with the new recall on the ABS brakes. It was scary when the brakes went so now the car is not safe to drive again and we are calling the company to get car in shop and get loaner so at least I am safe and have a car to drive people don't mess with this. There is no warning. Luckily I was coming to stop light and nobody in front tb
