Received notice of brake issue recall after having two incidents where brakes completely let go when sudden braking on a regular city street. Called dealership and told to call back; called back after one additional incident where I applied the brakes as I was driving on a city street and they did not catch for quite a while (nearly hit two cars), plus now leaking brake fluid, and dealer told me if I am concerned about crashes or being injured, pay for all repairs yourself. They don't know how to remedy. I am terrified I am going to die while they ignore the issue and just maybe hope it goes away? this is criminal and I feel a class action lawsuit is in order for all of us mitsibishi Eclipse owners who have to endure terror and fear for our lives just to drive our car.
I have had this issue 20 or more times in the past, I have owned my vehicle for 5 years, I have had the brakes replaced 3 times. Today I was driving about 60 miles an hour on a wet road. I had to suddenly hit the brakes, although I did not slam on them, and the anti lock brakes kicked in, then I lost all the brakes all together. I released the brakes immediately and drove to the right side of traffic to avoid a crash! as the car slowed on its own I had to slowly and repeatedly press the brakes, all pressure was lost to the brakes at this point and they felt spongy. I exited the freeway (full of traffic) and slowly pulled off the side of the road, while depressing the brakes I noted they felt inconsistent, they would either immediately brake or not at all, terrifying! this has happened in the past and last a few hours or days, I have to repeatedly pump the brakes as if there is air in the brake lines. There is also a hissing sound like many other ppl describe (might be coming from the pedal). The biggest shock is that this has not been recalled, when I take it in to be checked they always say the brakes look fine, with no other ideas and after a few days it just goes away until I hit the brakes again or run over a big speed bump. Please do a recall on this issue! I have read on other forums that this may be due to the master cylinder's internal seal breaking and leaking fluid into the booster and ruining it, although when calling the dealership they say that this is unlikely, so confused. Recall this issue! this is too common and terrifying. I do not trust my car!.
