SERVICE BRAKES
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BATTERY DISCHARGES OVERNIGHT AND ELECTROAUTOS CANNOT FIND ANY ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE BUT THEY SUSPECT THE STARTER SYSTEM DEVICE (AN OBLONG DEVICE THAT NEEDS TO BE PRESENTED TO A RED LIGHT TO GET THE STARTER TO FUNCTION). THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES BUT LEAKAGE CONTINUES. DUE TO AGE, NO SENSORS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO CHECK IT. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IN GARAGE.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.
