With my vehicle the brakes go straight to the floor. I took it to the mitsubishi dealership closest to me (Bobmills mitsubishi Jacksonville Nc). When I got there i told them what was going on, and if you bleed the brakes they worked fine for 3 or 4 days but after that the brakes would just go to the floor again. They said they bleed the brakes to replace the fluid and then tested the ABS module for a recall and said it was fine but I had a collapsed brake line in the rear. I replaced all the brake lines on the vehicle and did a complete bleed again to remove any air. The brakes now go all the way to the floor again. I was trying to bleed them just to see if I could get some pressure, but 3 of the lines aren't getting pressure. I decided to check and bleed at the master cylinder, I had plenty of pressure coming out so I know that's good. Then I checked the bleed pressure at the ABS module thats on the recall and I am only getting pressure from the drivers front tire, the other 3 are not giving pressure at all, even if you pump the brakes while they are open. So I know the cylinders in that ABS module are bad. So I called the dealership again and they are refusing to do it because they said they don't work on vehicles that old.

Specific symptoms reported on the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Recalls 4
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip: control unit/module
- What is wrong
- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Eclipse vehicles manufactured April 20, 2005, to February 13, 2009, and 2007-2009 Eclipse Spyder vehicles manufactured December 23, 2005, to February 13, 2009. Due to corrosion inside the antil-lock brake system (ABS) unit, one or more of the internal valves may seize. In a braking event that uses the ABS, a seized valve would increase brake pedal travel and reduce braking ability.
- Risk
- A sudden reduction of braking performance may increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, flush and clean the ABS hydraulic unit using high grade brake fluid, free of charge. If the inspection shows that the valves may seize, the ABS unit will be replaced. The recall began on July 21, 2015. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1‑888‑648‑7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-15-004.
Recall number 15V337000 · Recall details
Fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly
- What is wrong
- Mitsubishi is recalling 45,988 my 2005-2007 endeavor, galant, eclipse coupe, and my 2007 eclipse spyder vehicles. The bracket that is the attachment point for the left rear fuel tank mounting strap may have been improperly formed during a metal stamping process. The process may have caused the metal to have a split in the area where the bolt that holds one of the two fuel tank straps to the underside of the vehicle is located. In the event the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is subject to a severe collision, the bracket may break and allow the fuel tank to drop down, possibly causing a fuel leak.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect to see if the left rear fuel tank strap mounting bracket has splitting beyond a specific limit. Vehicles with moderate to severe splitting will be repaired using a reinforcement cap, a special structural adhesive, and a rivet to reinforce the fuel tank mounting bracket. The recall began on september 20, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1‑800‑222‑0037.
Recall number 08V454000 · Recall details
Power train: automatic transmission
- What is wrong
- On certain vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions, the key lock cable was improperly manufactured and may not allow the cable end to lock into the floor shifter mechanism. This can result in the interlock system to become inoperative and allow the ignition key to be removed without the gearshift mechanism being placed in the park position.
- Risk
- If the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the ignition interlock cable and replace it if necessary. The recall began on november 20, 2006. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1‑888‑648‑7820.
Recall number 06V414000 · Recall details
Structure: frame and members
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, the metal forming part of the front crossmember may have been improperly stamped resulting in the metal becoming thinner in the cross-section than specified. This could, over time, result in breakage of the crossmember.
- Risk
- Breakage of the crossmember may allow separation of the passenger side lower control arm, which may result in the loss of steering control increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and replace the crossmember free of charge. The recall began on september 21, 2006. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 888‑648‑7820.

What 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Warning lights turn on then automatically turn off while driving
Brakes consistently fail to hold pressure and are letting go. I purchased this car back in April and the previous owner had no idea of the recall. Did a bit of research and found it's a defect in the system. Once the car fails to hold pressure I have to very rapidly spam the break pedal to get a sliver of pressure so my car can come to a stop. Breaking with little pressure grinds the brakes and doesn't stop the car.
UNKNOWN. I received something from the Mitsubishi company in the mail, but did not reply to them because multiple people told me those are scam related. I never had anything checked, and not sure if I have an issue.
Dearler did not fix the ABS, only replaced brake fluid. ABS still fails. went back to Mitsubishi and they said they couldnt help me.
Vehicle is for sale sitting on napleton hyundai of carmel's used car lot, 4200 east 96th street indianapolis,in 46240. I just paid for and signed paperwork for an 2007 mitsubishi eclipse se, I haven't taken ownership as far a driving it off lot after pay/sign. Car fax was shown to me b4 signing, it's been 2 days and I haven't taken off lot yet (front d side caliper bracket slide/glide pins are seized up, brake pads locked onto rotor. I will not drive car until dealer completes recall. I was lied to about a couple things so I'm going to try to back out of purchase, that's why the complaint, I don't want to see them ignore recall and someone else buys car and something horrible happens!!
I have no brakes what so ever I have to push them like 10 times before I have any
Fuel leaks profusely when filling the tank. It is in the filler tube not the tank. It drips and puddles under the car inside the rear tire and center of car.
