I hit a bump in the road and when I went to stop at the next stop sign my brake pedal felt like it was going to grab then went all the way to the floor causing me to pass the stop sign. The next time I tried to stop it was fine. Then several months later it once again did the same thing while trying to park at the grocery store causing me to almost hit a car in the parking spot in front of me. I turned the car off and when I cranked it back up the brakes were fine. Left it sitting in the driveway a few days and now the brakes are doing the same thing again and will not fix itself at all. I have had to stop driving the car now, because it scares me so bad and I have to maintain a very large distance from the cars in front of me. Bought an extended warranty on the car, but the dealership closed and there is not a dealership near me that honors fidelity warranty that I paid $2000 for. Contacted Mitsubishi and they told me that even though there was a recall on my year model for the same issue, it did not effect my car's VIN number. That's crap, it is doing the exact same thing as the recall says and they won't fix the issue. I can't drive it the 65 miles to the dealership that will honor the fidelity warranty, and the warranty won't pay for towing that far. This is going to be an expensive fix... what concerns me more is that I bought the car from a dealership, paid $2000 for an extended warranty I can't use, and I can't get the car fixed because I can't afford to fix it (reason why I bought the warranty). At a loss!!!

I've had this vehicle since April 2013 and started having problems with the brakes around 6 months after. It takes way to long to stop, pinging noise when clutch lets out, and an awful screaming air sound after releasing the brakes especially when it's hot outside. Took it to the only Mitsubishi dealership here in town and was an estimate of $850 to fix the master cylinder, power brake boosters, de-glaze brake pads, and turn the rotors. I called the dealership and also Mitsubishi, but was told by both my VIN# wasn't included in recall #05V299000 or recall 05V247000. My car only had around 36,000 miles when purchased used and started having problems around 45,000 miles. The manufacturer of these parts need to pay for the repairs.

The brakes lost pressure and it took a long time for the car to come to a complete stop. As I was moving very slowly at the time and there was no-one in front of me, nothing awful happened. After that, the brakes were fine until it happened again a few months later. Because it was so quick and sporadic I thought that perhaps I was imagining it! then in 2011 it happened again and I took it to my mechanic but by the time I got to him, the problem had stopped, he couldn't replicate it and couldn't find anything wrong with the brakes. Then on November 30th, 2012 it happened again but this time I couldn't stop at a red traffic light and sailed right through the light coming to a halt eventually in the middle of the intersection. I was extremely lucky that no-one was in front of me and no-one else had started moving in the other directions. At that point I realized that there was definitely a problem with my braking system. I took it back to my mechanic. To cut a long story short, he eventually checked online and discovered that there had been a recall issued in 2005 for my make, model & year for defective brake master cylinders (recall #sr-05-003). He called Mitsubishi to see if I was covered and found out that my VIN# was not included!! at that point, they told him I would be covered under a "warranty extension". I had the car towed to the Mitsubishi dealer and they diagnosed it as needing a replacement master cylinder. They contacted Mitsubishi headquarters and I have been informed that they have declined my request to be included in the recall and have the master cylinder replaced at their cost (and now no mention of this "warranty extension" that they told my mechanic). Obviously my car should have been included in this recall and I should have been notified years ago - I have been driving around for years with a faulty braking system!!
