My ABS and asc lights have been on for a while. Took it to a mechanic and was told it wasnt a problem, just a faulty electrical system. One day, I was coming off an exit ramp trying to brake so I could turn but my brakes wouldnt engage so I slam on my brake and they locked up and my car slid and crashed into a median. Tired to steer away but it wouldnt turn.

My Lancer 2010 has only 30,400 original miles, the passenger air bag light is on, the anti lock brake light is on, stability control disabled by the anti lock light on, sometimes the light goes off and turns on when turning sharp right, and sometimes the light comes on with the vehicle not moving. Took the car to a dealer, they said the anti lock brake pump is defective and said it costs $1,800 to replace and said the air bag problem is no longer under warranty in puerto rico all Lancer owners that I know have front wheel sensors issues also. The dealer took care of 3 recalls, 1. eng belts and tensioner, 2. etacs ECU, 3. interior blower motor and I never received any recall notices. I have read a lot about these defects and many say that the passenger seat belt and air bag will turn the anti lock brake light on if there is a defect present. And many say that Mitsubishi refuses to admit there is a problem with all these issues.
