SERVICE BRAKES
RECEIVED NOTICE OF BRAKE ISSUE RECALL AFTER HAVING TWO INCIDENTS WHERE BRAKES COMPLETELY LET GO WHEN SUDDEN BRAKING ON A REGULAR CITY STREET. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND TOLD TO CALL BACK; CALLED BACK AFTER ONE ADDITIONAL INCIDENT WHERE I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THEY DID NOT CATCH FOR QUITE A WHILE (NEARLY HIT TWO CARS), PLUS NOW LEAKING BRAKE FLUID, AND DEALER TOLD ME IF I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CRASHES OR BEING INJURED, PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS YOURSELF. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO REMEDY. I AM TERRIFIED I AM GOING TO DIE WHILE THEY IGNORE THE ISSUE AND JUST MAYBE HOPE IT GOES AWAY? THIS IS CRIMINAL AND I FEEL A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER FOR ALL OF US MITSIBISHI ECLIPSE OWNERS WHO HAVE TO ENDURE TERROR AND FEAR FOR OUR LIVES JUST TO DRIVE OUR CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OVER SEVERAL MONTHS WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE , IT GOES TO THE FLOOR. I QUICKLY PUMP THE BRAKES AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS RETURNS. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN TIMES WHERE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS MUSHY. I TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER AFTER ALMOST REAR ENDING A VEHICLE WHEN IT STOPPED SUDDENLY.. I TOLD THEM I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE BUT IT HAD TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE AS VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. THEY PERFORMED AN ABS RECALL INSPECTION AND TOLD ME CAR WAS FINE......".I SAID NO IT'S NOT AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. OCT 2ND THE BRAKE FAILED AND IN AVOIDING ANOTHER CAR I WENT INTO THE DITCH CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAR AND MILD WHIPLASH. CAR WAS TOWED. I INFORMED DEALER AND ASKED WHAT I SHOULD DO.......HE SAID THEY COULD FLUSH SYSTEM BUT MOST LIKELY THE ABS UNIT NEEDED REPLACING AND THEY DID NOT HAVE IT. I TALKED TO MITCHUBISHI N.AWHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL........I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT INSURANCE WILL FIX BUT I WILL PAY 500.00 DEDUCTIBLE FOR A CAR THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE, SO NOW WHAT DO I DO? THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WHEN I WAS PREPARING TO TURN LEFT. STATE PATROL AND EMS RESPONDED.

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.
