2008 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE Complaints

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY OF 2015. IT IS NOW FIVE MONTHS LATER AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUE. MY BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND MAKES A SUCKING SOUND WHEN THE PEDAL IS RELEASED. I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A ROAD TEST AND THAT MY BRAKES WOULD BE FLUSHED AND CHECKED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP 50 MILES AWAY AND WAS TURNED AWAY UPON ARRIVING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND MITSUBISHI WILL NOT FIX IT.

THE CAR WAS RECALLED JULY 2015 FOR ABS HYDAULIC BRAKE UNIT BECAUSE IT IS SUSCEPTABLE TO FAILURE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER EACH MONTH AND TILL THIS DAY THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE RECALL YET. WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE RECALL IF THEY DONT FIX IT?

THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE ARE NOT WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. ABS SYSTEM WAS RECALLED BY MITSUBISHI BACK IN JULY, AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO GETTING IN TO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY, WITH MY YOUNG SON IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I SPOKE TO MITSUBISHI THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IF I GOT THE BRAKES FIXED MYSELF, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT I WOULD NOT GET REIMBURSED. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE BRAKES GIVE OUT ALL TOGETHER BUT DUE TO A FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER, I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT OUT MY HARD EARNED MONEY AND NOT GET IT BACK. MY CAR DOES NOT STOP AS IT SHOULD WHILE DRIVING. THE BRAKE PEDDLE DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
