I was getting to a red light to make a left turn. Cars were coming so I pressed the brakes to stop and let them pass. The brakes started to catch then went to the floor and the car didn't stop. I slammed the gas to turn in front of oncoming traffic to avoid hitting the car waiting to turn in the lane in front of me. I understand there is a long line of people that have this same model and year car as me, have been through this same issue and there is no recall. I have my brakes checked and brake pads changed regularly when needed.
Had to brake quickly to avoid hitting someone pulling out of a parking lot. Front left wheel locked up, abs engaged and made an odd noise. Ever since, the brakes are soft and make a whistling sound upon releasing the pedal. I've had all the brake pads and rotors replaced, as well as the fluid and a proper bleed performed. This has not solved the issue. In performing research, this same issue continues to occur for others as well, and the only fix is replacing the abs pump. This needs to be recalled. If I have to brake hard now, the left front wheel still locks up, and it jerks the car in that direction initially.
2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse brakes go to floor without stopping vehicle. Checked brake pads, etc, and they were fine. Brakes still going to floor.
I called twice because after having my car 3 months, the brakes squeaked and squealed badly when slowly braking. I got them cleaned, and paid for this. Then I took it into my local dealership and they said there was a new brake pad because they found problems with my model and year Mitsubishi. They quickly replaced my brake pads. Well I question that, because within a week the same sounds were coming from the brakes.
