I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 5 BRAKE FAILURES WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD 3 MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENTS AND HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT SAFETY RECALL SR-15-004, I TOOK VEHICLE TO MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED ON 6/15/18. THEY FLUSHED OUT THE ABS SYSTEM AND REPLACED DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID WITH DOT 4, RAN ABS SYSTEM TEST AND IT CAME OUT "OK NO REPAIR TO ABS NEEDED AT THIS TIME." SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED 7 MORE BRAKE FAILURES WHERE THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC WAS FINALLY ABLE TO RE-CREATE THE INCIDENT, WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER, NOT DURING, BRAKING OVER ROUGH ROAD SURFACES. THE BRAKE PEDAL USUALLY COMES RIGHT BACK UP AFTER A FEW SECONDS OR MINUTES, AND IS FINE UNTIL ANOTHER BRAKING INCIDENT OVER ROUGH ROAD. THERE ARE NO CODES DELIVERED AT ALL DURING THESE INSTANCES. MY MECHANIC AND I BOTH ARE CONVINCED THAT THESE OCCURRENCES ARE RELATED TO THE RECALL PROBLEM OF DETERIORATION INSIDE THE ABS UNIT, AS NO OTHER BRAKE PROBLEMS EXIST. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEPTEMBER 2016 (MILEAGE 72,563) UNTIL PRESENT (AUGUST 4, 2018, MILEAGE 96,783) AND IS A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!!!

I WAS DRIVING ON A DEAD END STREET AND THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN EVEN WITH PUMPING THE BRAKES I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED A MONTH PRIOR TO THIS BECAUSE THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY AND THE TECHNICIAN AT MORRIES MAZDA REPORTED TO ME THEY WERE OPERATIONAL.. I ENDED UP HITTING A TREE (MY CHOICES WERE A LINE OF CARS OR A TREE, SO I PICKED THE TREE) WITH THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AT AROUND 30 PLUS MPH. AND I SUSTAINED INJURIES. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BRAKES IT APPEARED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE WAS THE ONLY OPERATIONAL BRAKE AS IT WAS THE ONLY ROTOR TO NOT HAVE ACCUMULATED A HIGH AMOUNT OF RUST.

MY CAR WAS STOLEN LAST YEAR BY SOMEONE I KNEW, AND WAS WRECKED. AFTER THE WRECK, MYSELF AND PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE SPOKE TO THE PERSON AND HE SAID THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AS HE WAS MAKING A TURN AND THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE TIE ROD TO SNAP WHICH PUNCTURED THROUGH THE WHEEL AND OUT THE TIRE. DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE CONFIRMS THIS, AND I HAVE PICTURES AND DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM. CAR WAS LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ENTIRE FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION DETACHED, CV SHAFT RIPPED OUT FROM THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ENTIRE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY WAS RIPPED OFF, CALIPER, BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR REMAINED ATTACHED TO THE HUB, BUT WERE DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE WHEEL ALSO REMAINED INTACT ON THE HUB. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER, FENDER, INNER WHEEL HUB SPLASH GUARDS, HEADLIGHT, ETC. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HIS SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK ON IMPACT. CAR WAS TOTALED AND CONSIDERED SALVAGE, BUT I RECONSTRUCTED IT AND HAVE OVER $4,500 INVESTED IN REPAIRS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE BRAKES AND LOWER CONTROL ARM WORKED PROPERLY. HE WAS TRAVELING ON A SIDE STREET THROUGH A SMALL TOWN AROUND 11PM ON A CLEAR, WARM NIGHT. NO OTHER MOVING CARS WERE ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME, BUT HE DID SIDE SWIPE SEVERAL PARKED CARS.

I HAVE A 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPES GS. THAT HAS OVER 160,000 MILES. FOR THE LAST 9 MONTHS OR EVEN LONGER MY HUSBAND HAS TO PUSH THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD DOWN WHERE THE AIRBAG IS TO COVER IT BACK. NO, I HAVEN'T TOOK IT TO A DEALER YET, I FIGURE WITH THE WARRANTY OFF OF THE CAR, THE DEALER SHIP WOULD SAY I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX IT. SO, I'M HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL READ THIS AND TELL ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON IT SO, IT CAN BE FIXED THE RIGHT WAY. I HOPE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG(DASH BOARD) WORKS INCASE OF A ACCIDENT. I'M PLANNING ON CALLING THE DEALER SHIP MONDAY 10/24/2016 TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE BRAKE AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V337000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. UPDATED 09/06/16*LJ UPDATED 09/07/16.*JB

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.
