Brake Disc Caliper Problems of Mitsubishi Eclipse

Vehicle is for sale sitting on napleton Hyundai of carmel's used car lot, 4200 east 96th street indianapolis,in 46240. I just paid for and signed paperwork for an 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse se, I haven't taken ownership as far a driving it off lot after pay/sign. Car fax was shown to me b4 signing, it's been 2 days and I haven't taken off lot yet (front d side caliper bracket slide/glide pins are seized up, brake pads locked onto rotor. I will not drive car until dealer completes recall. I was lied to about a couple things so I'm going to try to back out of purchase, that's why the complaint, I don't want to see them ignore recall and someone else buys car and something horrible happens!!.

My car was stolen last year by someone I knew, and was wrecked. After the wreck, myself and pennsylvania state police spoke to the person and he said the accident was caused because the brakes failed to engage as he was making a turn and the right lower control arm failed, which caused the tie rod to snap which punctured through the wheel and out the tire. Damage done to the vehicle confirms this, and I have pictures and documentation to support this claim. Car was left on the side of the road with entire front right suspension detached, cv shaft ripped out from the manual transmission, entire front right wheel hub assembly was ripped off, caliper, brake pads and rotor remained attached to the hub, but were disconnected from the vehicle. The wheel also remained intact on the hub. There was significant front end damage to the bumper, fender, inner wheel hub splash guards, headlight, etc. Air bags did not deploy. His seat belt did not lock on impact. Car was totaled and considered salvage, but I reconstructed it and have over $4,500 invested in repairs that could have been avoided if the brakes and lower control arm worked properly. He was traveling on a side street through a small town around 11pm on a clear, warm night. No other moving cars were on the road at the time, but he did side swipe several parked cars.

3 months after purchasing a 2003 Mitsubishi esclipse GS, I noticed rust appearing on the rotors and calipers. The dealership sprayed something on them when we had it in for warranty service. This rust has gotten increasingly worse. There are only 40,000 miles on this car. I am worried that this rust will lead to a failure in these parts in the future and cause an accident.

At 2800 miles the brake rotors and calipers wear out and need to be replaced .
