SAME AS 1/21/2016 COMPLAINT. DEALER INFORMS TODAY THAT HIS TECHNICIAN MUST FIRST DETERMINE ABS MALFUNCTION BEFORE OBTAINING MMNA (MFG) APPROVAL TO FLUSH BRAKES, DETERMINE CORRECT VALVE FUNCTION, AND THEN INSTALL NEW HIGH QUALITY BRAKE FLUID. OUTRAGEOUS. MMNA SHOULD AUTHORIZE THE ABOVE AT CUSTOMER REQUEST NOW. CHEAPER FOR THEM TO AUTHORIZE A FREE, ANNUAL BRAKE FLUSH/INSPECTION VS. NEW ABS PARTS THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE NEEDED. PUT PRESSURE ON MMNA TO COMPLY WITH ABOVE.

IN JULY OF 2015,I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE ABS IN MY VEHICLE. MITSUBISHI WROTE, "MMNA WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL, WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE, WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE." I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING HAS HAPPENED WITH THE RECALL. SO, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING (AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE) A VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH FOR SEVEN MONTHS, WHILE NEW PARTS ARE MANUFACTURED. PLEASE LIGHT A FIRE UNDER MITSUBISHI TO GET THE PARTS MADE!!!!!!
