1 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2015

I received a recall notice in July that the brakes could fail if the abs is activated. Mitsubishi referred me to a dealer (the only dealer in nevada). The dealer said they can't make any repairs, because they don't have the parts to fix the car. So, I called Mitsubishi, and they said there is no repair solution available. So I requested a loaner, since my car is not safe to drive. They told me they don't supply loaners, and that I should continue driving the car unless the brakes fail. Unbelievable! two months later, the brakes failed after abs system was activated in the rain and I slid through an intersection almost causing a major accident on a city street at 45mph after trying to stop using the emergency brake. The dealer wants to charge me for the tow (because the vehicle is disabled) and for storage (because they allegedly don't have parts to do the repair). Mitsubishi offered no help whatsoever. They referred me back to the dealer, and the dealer claims they can't make the repair. I told Mitsubishi about my previous experience, and they were no help at all. They said they aren't authorized to make any decisions, and that only the dealership can opt to tow/repair the car or supply a loaner. So now my car sits in the parking lot, broken down with no brakes, with a recall notice in the passenger seat. They want me to tow the car 45 miles out of my own pocket, or drive the car with no brakes. Then they expect me to pay for the loaner. And they expect me to pay for storage while the car sits on their lot waiting for Mitsubishi to come up with a repair solution. Unbelievable.

2 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2015

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?.
