2 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2013

I was driving on the freeway, when all of a sudden my abs light came on and a buzzer. I then went to apply the brakes and stop but the brake pedal would not budge. It was like there was a brick under it. There was no way of stopping safely. Luckily no one was in front of me. I had to you the transmission to shift down. Pressed as hard as I could on brakes and finally stopped. I have researched this issue and have discovered it is quite common. How is it safe for a vehicle with a antilock brake malfunction to take out the brake system completely? I have contact Mitsubishi and they said there is no recall!! how is this possible!?! this is very unsafe I have had the vehicle parked since the incident. I feel Mitsubishi needs to pay for this and upgrade the brake system. I have researched the price and would cost me 1700. 00 to have the system replaced. With no guarantee of it not doing it again.
