THERE HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE FOR FOUR YEARS. MANY TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC (180 DEGREES AUTO IN PHOENIX ARIZONA) INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF MASTER CYLINDER TWICE AND NUMEROUS BRAKE JOBS THAT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW WE FIND THAT MITSUBISHI HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, HAS ISSUED A WARNING, BUT HAS YET TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. WE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR ANY LONGER AS WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE FAILURE WILL OCCUR AND WE NEVER WANT ANYONE HURT.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE AT 35 MPH, AND TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKES SO I COULD TURN SOON. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THEY WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, BECAUSE WHILE I WAS TURNING THE CAR JERKED BACK AND THEN FORWARD REALLY HARD. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT A STOP SIGN. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP AND THE BRAKES WOULD JUST GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN A ROW.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.
