BRAKES FAILED FROM TIME TO TIME. WANTAGH MITSUBISHI HAD CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM MITSUBISHI.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED CAR AND I HAD ALL MAINTENANCE ITEMS DONE AT AAA GARAGE TO INCLUDE TIMING BELT, SERPENTINE BELT, OIL CHANGE, TUNE UP, ANTI FREEZE FLUSH, TIRES ROTATED, ETC. THERE WAS NOTHING NDONEVTO BRAKES AS THEY STILL HAD LIFE IN THEM. I KNOW MORE MAINTENANCE ITEMS WERE DONE BUT I FORGET AS MY RECEIPT IS ELSEWHERE. HAPPY NOW I COULD DRIVE MY CAR KNOWING THE TIMING BELT AND OTHER MAINTENANCE THINGS WERE DONE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD ONLY GONE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES AND CAME TO STOP LIGHT. NO BRAKES. WE CALLED AAA AND BROUGHT IT RIGHT BACK. THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY NO BRAKES AS THEY SEEM TO WORK OK NOW. SO THE ONLY THING LEFT THAT HADN'T BEEN DONE WAS THE BRAKE FLUID REPLACEMENT AND FLUSH. WE HAD THAT DONE AND WE DROVE IT HOME OK. THERE WERE GREETED WITH THE NEW RECALL ON THE ABS BRAKES. IT WAS SCARY WHEN THE BRAKES WENT SO NOW THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN AND WE ARE CALLING THE COMPANY TO GET CAR IN SHOP AND GET LOANER SO AT LEAST I AM SAFE AND HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE PEOPLE DON'T MESS WITH THIS. THERE IS NO WARNING. LUCKILY I WAS COMING TO STOP LIGHT AND NOBODY IN FRONT TB

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TO ENTER A CHURCH AND AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN I LOST COMPLETE PRESSURE OF THE BRAKES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO MECHANIC BUT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER A DAY. THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKES WERE FINE. (ONE OF THOSE BEING A MITSUBISHI DEALER). THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THERE WAS A CAR COMING OUT OF THE CHURCH I WOULD'VE HAD AN ACCIDENT OR CRASH.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR NORMALLY FINE AND THERE WAS A SMALL POT HOLE ON THE GROUND THAT I WENT OVER. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES WHILE RUNNING OVER THE POT HOLE AND THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY LOST. IT WAS A SPONGY FEELING AS THE BRAKES WERE TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES HAD VERY LITTLE POWER AND WHEN LET GO HAD A WHISTLING SOUND COMING BACK UP. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WHILE DOWN SHIFTING TO LOWER GEARS BECAUSE THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK.
