The contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The contact stated that the brake pedal was slow to respond and difficult to depress. While traveling at an unknown rate of speed, the brake pedal was applied and did not respond. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle twice. The driver did not receive medical attention from either crash, but sustained neck and back pains. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. During the first crash, four tires separated from the vehicle. During the second crash, the two front tires fractured. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop for further inspection. The contact later received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V337000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and was unable to determine when the recall repair would be completed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.

While performing a stop the brake pedal lost all pressure and went to the floor. The car did stop but took longer to do so. After reviewing the recall notice for ABS brakes I brought the vehicle to a Mitsubishi dealer who confirmed there was a recall but did not inspect anything beyond driving the car to test the brakes. Between the time of the incident and the one and a half weeks they claimed was the next available appointment the brakes returned to normal operation. The recall (15V337) states the hydraulic unit will be flushed, cleaned and inspected. The dealer indicated they were only testing the braking system by driving it and when the incident did not produce the same result, that was the end of their responsibility until I received a certified letter from the manufacturer. This recall was issued in May 2015 and it is now the beginning of October 2015. The manufacturer is obviously delaying doing the appropriate inspection and repair while this dangerous issue continues to affect many consumers.

When driving home from work going 30 mph I turned right and needed to stop at a red light approximately 200 feet ahead. When I depressed my break pedal it went all the way down to the floor board and had very little, if any reaction. Also, there was a strange sound when I took my foot off the pedal. I took the car to a dealer in goodlettsville, tn to be diagnosed but they said it was something totally different than the problem I was having. I declined the service. It has happened many times since then, with my breaks going back to normal after I stop and restart the car. However, a few weeks ago this happened and they have not gone back to normal. After finding the recall, I have called the dealership nearest me but they said they cannot fix it yet because they are waiting on parts, and it is my job, yet because of their faulty engineering, to bring a car that I will not drive because of this major safety issue to them. It is taking Mitsubishi an excessive amount of time to secure parts for this major safety issue.

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. Called the dealer who said there is no fix at this time. Called Mitsubishi who confirmed that and gave me the choice of going back to the dealer or waiting for the second notice. My brakes have failed in the past and I am afraid to drive the vehicle. What should I do?

- Brick, NJ, USA

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

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.

- Apopka, FL, USA

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.

- Apopka, FL, USA

This issue has occurred numerous times in my vehicle and has actually resulted in a crash previously. In an emergency breaking situation I will lose brake pressure, the pedal will go to the floor, and my car fails to stop. The first occurrence happened in 2011. I took my car to the mitusbishi dealership to have the breaking system assessed and they told me everything was fine (the brakes had corrected themselves before my appointment). The second time it happened, they once again corrected themselves so no appointment was made. The third time it happened (July 2013), I actually ran into the back of another vehicle. My brakes did not correct themselves after the impact and a wheezing sound could be heard. I had my car towed to a non-Mitsubishi repair shop to be assessed and was told that my master cylinder was defective. I purchased a new master cylinder and thought everything was fine until two days ago when I needed to slam on my brakes again. I applied hard pressure to the breaks, the car began to slow, and then my foot went to the floor. I had to apply my emergency break to stop the car. The remainder of my trip involved me driving at slow speeds and keeping a large amount of distance (the brakes only worked if the pedal was to the floor). I have an appointment tomorrow to have everything looked at again and this time I am not taking "everything looks fine" for an answer. After doing research, I landed on the list of recalls I knew nothing about, and Mitsubishi never told me about (I've owned the vehicle since 2009), and numerous forums of people describing this exact same situation. I called mistubishi about the recall involving the master cylinder and they told me my VIN did not qualify. I am incredibly displeased with their response and the fact that this is a known issue. No Mitsubishi mechanic has ever bothered to bring this up to me or diagnose the problem.

- Hampton, VA, USA

Upon trying to stop, the brake pedal traveled almost to the floor before the brakes became effective. This happens randomly and has almost caused me to hit other cars when stopping. I reported this to Mitsubishi and told them I thought it should be part of an old 2006 warranty recall but they claimed my vehicle was outside of the 2006 recall, yet it appears to be a common issue with other owners of multiple years of Eclipses 2006 and beyond. This is a dangerous braking problem.

- Brighton, MI, USA

Brake pedal became spongy and brakes are not responsive. With no warning the brakes will need to be pushed completely to the floor to stop the car. This will occur for anywhere from a day or two to a few weeks. Symptoms will disappear and occur roughly once every 2 or 3 months.
