Estaba en la autopista Y me prendi la luz del ABS Y el automvil SE senta aguantado cuando me toc frenar el automvil de momento no fren bien. Despus proced a llamar al servicio de remolque de la Mitsubishi Y buscaron el carro a mi casa. El 01/14/2010 el dealer le encontr falla en sensor Y SE lo reemplazaron. (MN116244 sensor, rr ABS, rh). Pero en el 2011 volvi prendi la luz del ABS SE le hizo el cambio de las pastilla de freno Y SE limpiaron todos los sensor Y la luz SE apag. Ahora en el 10/14/2013 volvi a encender la luz del ABS pero cuando corres para atrs SE apaga Y cuando conduce hacia el frente SE queda prendida. Mi opinin ES que estos sensores SE daan demasiado de rpido "constantemente, salieron defectuoso" el mileage del carro ahora mismo ES 33616. Gracias por su tiempo.

On Wednesday morning 4/24/2013 after night shift I went outside to start my car 5-10 minutes early just like any other time prior to driving. I put my car in gear to pull away and a service signal went off stating "maintnence required" with a depiction of a transaxel and the front suspension in "motion". I then put the car in neutral and applied the emergency break to inspect. The awc function would not work, "tarmac" to "gravel" to "snow". the next day I brought my vehicle to D'ambrosio Mitsubishi for their technicians to look at it and repair it. They did the usual maintnence oil change, fluid check, tire rotation etc like I have done ever 2500 miles. The technicians discovered the S-awc pump had seized up and that the pump needed to be replaced; he stated it would cost $2500 to replace, I asked what I had done to cause such a catastrophic event; the service manager advised me that it was a flaw caused by Mitsubishi and there was nothing I had done or did not do to cause this. I then left and have no idea what I'm going to do now that I have a front wheel drive car that is meant to be a full time all wheel drive car, now its sitting under a tarp and I take the bus or get a ride.
