SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
5 YEARS AFTER BUYING VEHICLE, BRAKE PEDAL WOULD SPORADICALLY PUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. TOOK ME 3 YEARS FOR SOMEONE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH SPONGY, WHISTLING BRAKES. ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT HAD GREASE CAKED UNDER IT, AND THE SHOP WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS. HAD ABS SYSTEM REPLACED ON MY $, A YEAR LATER A RECALL CAME OUT ON THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT. MITSUBISHI DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THE PLACE THAT FIXED IT FAILED TO WRITE ON THE FORM THE REASONS I CAME IN TO GET IT FIXED. APPARENTLY I'M GOING TO HAVE AN $800 PART REPLACED FOR NO REASON. FOUND ON NHTSA THE INDICATORS OF A BAD PART AND THE FACT THAT IT IS DOCUMENTED MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON SHOULD BE ENOUGH. ALSO, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR: THE AUTOMATIC LOCK NO LONGER WORKS AND THERE IS NO KEY HOLE ON THAT SIDE; COULD BE A SLIGHT ISSUE BUT IS MORE ANNOYING THAN ANYTHING AND PUTS CAR AT RISK FOR THEFT.

STRUCTURE
THE FRONT OF MY DASHBOARD (THE AIRBAG SITS BEHIND IT) IS COMING OFF OF MY VEHICLE. IT IS ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. I CONTACTED THE MITSUBISHI DEALER IN CHARLESTON, SC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD SEEN NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (MITSUBISHI). I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE ONCE THIS PIECE OF MATERIAL FALLS OFF THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO PROTECT THE PASSENGER FROM THE AIRBAG AT ANY TIME. I WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST $1,200 TO FIX. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT YET. I BELIEVE THAT HAVING MY VEHICLE IN THE CONDITION IT IS IN IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MITSUBISHI OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T MANUFACTURE A GOOD RELIABLE PRODUCT WHICH IS NOT ONLY DECEPTIVE BUT DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU! *TR

MAY 2015: RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE. DEFECT MIGHT AFFECT BRAKING. LOCAL MITSU DEALER SAID REPLACEMENT PART HAD NOT YET ARRIVED. DEALER'S INSPECTION VERIFIED THAT THE DAMAGE WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, NOT SIMPLY A CLEANING OVERHAUL OF THE PART. DEALER SAID THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE CALLED THE DEALER ON THE AVERAGE OF ONCE A MONTH AND ALWAYS RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER. THE RECALL DOCUMENT DOES CLEARLY STATE THAT IF THE PART WERE NOT REPLACED A CRASH COULD OCCUR. WE ARE EAGER TO HAVE OUR CAR RESTORED TO WORKING CONDITION. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS WHO DEPEND ON OUR CAR. WHAT FURTHER ACTION CAN WE TAKE TO FACILITATE REPAIR?
