Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse

I have experienced at least 5 brake failures where the brake pedal went to the floor. I have had 3 master cylinder replacements and have taken the car to a certified mechanic multiple times trying to fix the problem. After finding out about safety recall sr-15-004, I took vehicle to Mitsubishi dealership to have the recall repaired on 6/15/18. They flushed out the abs system and replaced dot 3 brake fluid with dot 4, ran abs system test and it came out "ok no repair to abs needed at this time. " since then, I have experienced 7 more brake failures where the pedal went to the floor. My certified mechanic was finally able to re-create the incident, which seems to happen after, not during, braking over rough road surfaces. The brake pedal usually comes right back up after a few seconds or minutes, and is fine until another braking incident over rough road. There are no codes delivered at all during these instances. My mechanic and I both are convinced that these occurrences are related to the recall problem of deterioration inside the abs unit, as no other brake problems exist. This has been happening September 2016 (mileage 72,563) until present (August 4, 2018, mileage 96,783) and is a very, very dangerous problem!!!.

After a sudden stop due to pedestrian jay walker in the road, the brakes became almost irresponsive, the feeling is spongy and the pedal makes a whoooa sound when released. Now the pedal travels almost to the end before there is any brake response. . There no leaks or any other attributed to the sudden loss of response from the brakes, the car is very unsafe now and my mechanic says there is nothing wrong with the master cylinder, lines, air in the system and the pads are in good condition. . This car has become very unsafe to drive.

I have been having issues with spongy brakes I have replaced the master cylinder but I have been reading up on the issue an a lot of owners with Mitsubishi Eclipse have been experiencing the same issue I have had when you go to engage the brakes its takes tons of pressure and the issue is the first time you slam on brakes to avoid an issue the abs never resets and starts to leak I have replaced all brakes and still experiencing the issue this needs to be recall because having spongy brakes is dangerous and scary that your brakes may give way.

I had to brake hard to avoid an accident and now my brakes are very soft and spongy and make a whistling noise. I have had the entire brakes and drums replaced twice and master cylinder replace and the issue is still there. I went online to see if anyone else had experienced it and there is a huge group of Eclipse owners who have experienced this problem.

I was driving down the road when I was coming to a stop my brake would not stop me. When I push on the brakes you would hear a whistle sound. Cylinder and booster both replaced and pedal/brakes are still soft. After hit a bump, the brakes would go completely soft and required them to be pumped up. This happened several times. We replaced the master cylinder and booster after brake pedal would go all the way down with little stopping power. Replacing the master cylinder fixed that issue, but now the problem is exactly as described in the previous : brakes begin to engage, then go soft (spongy) for a bit, then re-engage. Braking power is significantly less than before.
