2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE Complaints

With my vehicle the brakes go straight to the floor. I took it to the mitsubishi dealership closest to me (Bobmills mitsubishi Jacksonville Nc). When I got there i told them what was going on, and if you bleed the brakes they worked fine for 3 or 4 days but after that the brakes would just go to the floor again. They said they bleed the brakes to replace the fluid and then tested the ABS module for a recall and said it was fine but I had a collapsed brake line in the rear. I replaced all the brake lines on the vehicle and did a complete bleed again to remove any air. The brakes now go all the way to the floor again. I was trying to bleed them just to see if I could get some pressure, but 3 of the lines aren't getting pressure. I decided to check and bleed at the master cylinder, I had plenty of pressure coming out so I know that's good. Then I checked the bleed pressure at the ABS module thats on the recall and I am only getting pressure from the drivers front tire, the other 3 are not giving pressure at all, even if you pump the brakes while they are open. So I know the cylinders in that ABS module are bad. So I called the dealership again and they are refusing to do it because they said they don't work on vehicles that old.

Brakes consistently fail to hold pressure and are letting go. I purchased this car back in April and the previous owner had no idea of the recall. Did a bit of research and found it's a defect in the system. Once the car fails to hold pressure I have to very rapidly spam the break pedal to get a sliver of pressure so my car can come to a stop. Breaking with little pressure grinds the brakes and doesn't stop the car.

UNKNOWN. I received something from the Mitsubishi company in the mail, but did not reply to them because multiple people told me those are scam related. I never had anything checked, and not sure if I have an issue.

Dearler did not fix the ABS, only replaced brake fluid. ABS still fails. went back to Mitsubishi and they said they couldnt help me.

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!!!
