The contact owns a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle made a chirping sound. The brakes failed to respond and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
My 2002 Mitsubishi Montero hydraulic accumulator was repaired due to the recall of the part. The hydraulic brake accumulator was recalled because it can result in a leak of nitrogen gas from the accumulator . A couple days ago on my way to work my brakes failed me once again as I was in a school zone full of children and approaching train tracks this time it was because I have a gas leak in my power booster which occured from the accumulator which was the part that was recalled by Mitsubishi. I contacted Mitsubishi to be told that it will not be repaired by them even though I could have killed myself or someone's child. Knowing that the same problem will occur with a diiferent part in results of the part that was recalled Mitsubishi should have recalled the entire abs system not just the accumulator. Crash could have still happened,and death could have still happened,. Now I have to replace my whole entire abs system and the system itself cost $1500 dollars not including labor. I do not have money like that to repair my vehicle when it was not wear and tare of the vehicle but was caused by their failure abs system. Nothing have been done to repair my truck.
Brakes system failed to stop the vehicle.
