Brake Light On Problems of Mitsubishi Montero

A/l brake light goes off everytime brake pedals is applied accompanied with an abnormal noise from the dash. There is a NHTSA campaign #01v254002 about a brake booster accumulator defect. I took it to the dealer for possible recall fix but got denied since its not part of their recall campaign. Shouldnt this be part of a recall campaign since its a safety issue? do I need to wait until the brakes fail and get into an accident?.

Was going down a hill when I couldn't press my brake pedal because it was too stiff! the abs and brake light turn and with a constant beeping noise. Thankfully there was a hill going back up so I was able to slow it and pull it off the road fine. Glad it didn't happen at other points of my trip! my brake booster has gone bad and Mitsubishi says it's not part of the recall. Seems like they have a lot of problems with this and it's never part of the recall.

Our 2001 Mitsubishi Montero ltd. Experienced a near complete brake failure after the vehicle had been parked overnight. My wife was taking our children to school when the vehicle would not stop at an intersection. To avoid running into traffic, she was forced to throw the vehicle into park because there was less than 10% braking power, even after pumping the brakes several times. There was a strange noise coming from the engine compartment near master cylinder assembly. Local dealer in murrieta, CA told us that the vehicle already had been serviced for hbb accumulator recall, and that the vehicle did not qualify for repairs. Also mileage was over 150k at 184k. We had the accumulator replaced by another certified Mitsubishi mechanic which solved the braking problem. 6 months later, we experienced a second brake system failure, also losing about 90% of braking power. This time the brake and abs lights on the dash came on and a buzzer sounded continually. The problem was initially intermittent, but now the lights and buzzer stay on continually. Took vehicle to the same mechanic who fixed the hbb accumulator and after diagnosing the vehicle he stated that the hydraulic control unit was malfunctioning. The vehicle is currently awaiting repairs. I am writing the complaint due to the fact that the loss of brake power is nearly total and without warning. We avoided serious accidents only by divine providence. It seems that any brake system on a modern vehicle out to allow for some subsystem failures and remain able to stop the vehicle. I have heard of abs or booster failures on other vehicles, yet they maintain the ability to stop the vehicle, that seems to not be the case with the Mitsubishi Montero. It also would seem that the manufacturer has had ample opportunity to remedy this situation since 2001 and yet seems unconcerned that their design is so significantly flawed.

Abs braking system was not operable and brake light came on dashboard. Brakes made grinding and streaking noises. Also, vehicle was taken to the dealership twice and rotors were replaced.
