2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse brakes complaints

I received a safety recall notice from mitsubishi motors in july of 2015. The notice is regarding a defect with the antilock breaking system hydraulic unit. The letter says I will be notified when the parts are available. I have called the local mitsubishi dealership and they say the parts are not reading I am still on a wait list. When operating the car sometimes the breaks go quite far down towards the floor. It has been too long to wait for these parts given there is a defect with the brakes.

My mitsubishi eclipse '08 during the year 2015, I have been having problems with my brakes when I drive over bumps quickly or hit a dip in the road. Each time this happens, my brakes practically lose all pressure. I had to pull over to the side of the road and pump my brakes a number of times to get the pressure back up. I have brought my vehicle three times to a private brake company and had my brake system inspected and brake pads replaced first and later had the brake system inspected in the latter visits. When I still continued to have this problem, I brought my vehicle to the dealership and was informed that there definitely has been a recall on the mitsubishi eclipses. They told me the problem with my brakes was because there was a fluid leak from the master cylinder into the brake booster. I paid out of my own pocket to have whatever needed fixed in my braking system fixed by them in october 2015. Approximately less than four months later, I was on the freeway (and of course people drive fast and there were cars all around me), I hit a dip in the road and my brakes almost went out. It scared me so bad! I had to pull over the side of the road and pump my brakes again to get the pressure back up. I have own other vehicles for years and never had this issue until I owned this particular type vehicle. So whatever they fixed did not work because I should not have experienced the same problem after the dealership 'supposedly' fixed it with new parts. I brought it back to the same dealership in february 2016 and they stated there was nothing wrong with my brake system and refused to do anything else about it. I drive this vehicle everyday so I know when something 'just doesn't feel right'. I could have been in a serious accident or died because I could not stop my vehicle and this needs to be taken seriously beforehand not after myself or some else dies.

I received a safety recall notice in july of 2015. It is now five months later and they still haven't fixed the issue. My brake pedal sometimes doesn't work properly and makes a sucking sound when the pedal is released. I called mitsubishi and they said to bring it to a dealership for a road test and that my brakes would be flushed and checked. I made an appointment with the dealership 50 miles away and was turned away upon arriving because they can't fix the problem. My car is unsafe and mitsubishi will not fix it.

The car was recalled july 2015 for ABS hydaulic brake unit because it is susceptable to failure. I have called the dealer each month and till this day they tell me there is no remedy for the recall yet. What is the point of the recall if they dont fix it?
The brakes on my vehicle are not working as they should. Abs system was recalled by mitsubishi back in july, and they have yet to fix the problem. I have been very close to getting in to accidents due to the brakes not working properly, with my young son in the vehicle. When I spoke to mitsubishi they informed me that the remedy is not yet available. I was also told that if I got the brakes fixed myself, there is the possibility that I would not get reimbursed. I would like to get this fixed immediately before the brakes give out all together but due to a fault of the manufacturer, I am not willing to put out my hard earned money and not get it back. My car does not stop as it should while driving. The brake peddle does not function correctly. Please fix this issue or point me in the right direction.

For a month, I've noticed that my brake fluid level was decreasing rapidly and that I had to refill my brake fluid once a week. On 9/22/2015, suddenly my brake pedal had to go to the floor before I could start slowing down. I took my car to a mechanic on 9/24/2015. He said that my ABS pump was leaking really bad and he cannot find/buy the part anywhere and that I had to take it to the dealership. I took it to a mitsubishi dealership that same day and told them what I was experiencing and what I was told. They kept the car that day and ran tests and confirmed with me in the morning of 9/25/2015 that it was the ABS pump, which is part of a recent recall. The service manager at the dealership told me that he would be in contact with their corporate office about what to do next to get my vehicle fixed and to give me a rental car in the mean time (I couldn't get to work on 9/24 or 9/25 because I live an hour from work). In the evening of 9/25, the service manager called me back and told me that the corporate office is not willing to provide a rental car because the recall didn't say anything about the ABS pump "leaking". The recall only mentions the valves within the pump "sticking", and because of that, cannot determine yet if my car is included in the recall and that additional tests need to be done, so they won't provide me with a rental car yet. He gave me the phone number to mitsubishi service center to try getting a rental car. I called in the morning of 9/28/2015 and the service center explained to me what I've already been told by the service manager at the dealership about the recall, but also that mitsubishi doesn't provide loaner vehicles due to a recall but it is up to the individual dealership. I explained to them that I've now missed 3 days of work because of a faulty part they put in my car and I'm losing money. I need help with this situation

While driving as I went to brake, I felt the brakes had gone out. My foot went all the way to the floor, very very scary! At times it would not do this, it then became more often. I took in for repair and they repaired the master cylinder. Once I picked up the problem still existed. I did return to the repair shop and they stated they had to reset a switch, it seems okay now. My concern is since I received this ABS recall, could this have been the issue? Just wanted to report this in case there is some sort of relation.
