On may 22, 2015 mitsubishi filed a recall (mitsubishi campaign# sr-15-004/the federal safety agency recall # 15v337) for the ABS hydraulic unit of which my vehicle is affected. Aside from one letter I received late july informing me of the recall, I have not heard again from them regarding this matter. Calling local dealerships has resulted in responses of the parts required for the repair are not yet available. Even checking the recall status on mitsubishi's website shows that the repair is still not yet available. It has been almost eight months since the recall was filed for a serious danger and there is no end in sight. It is ridiculous to have a major issue with the brakes and no know if or when it may get fixed. Mitsubishi has acknowledged that this is a problem, but their actions are showing that they could care less. No one I have spoken to at mitsubishi motors of north america has any idea when parts may become available and their only response is to go to the dealer and pay to have the parts replaced and then file for a reimbursement claim under the recall which may not even be approved. If I can do that, why am I unable to have my vehicle serviced with the same parts under the recall? I understand needing time to source new parts that incorporate the new design, but mitsubishi has far exceeded a reasonable timeline which is negligent and causing unnecessary risk.

Driving in a residential area and hit my brakes to avoid a car stopping abruptly. My brakes went soft and I had to swerve to avoid slamming into the back of the vehicle. My brakes remained very soft with little to no braking power for at least a day. This is the second occurrence in a month. The brakes when pressed were very soft and whistled when I lifted my foot. I recorded the sound for documentation.
