SERVICE 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.
