This is concerning a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero limited. My wife and daughter were headed down our driveway when the brakes failed. My wife started pumping the brakes and was finally able to stop the car, but, not before the front end was already out in the road. Had there been a car coming, it would have resulted in a crash. Nhtsa action number rq06007 and recall number 01v-254 explain the exact symptoms that my car has; abnormal noise from the left side of the dash when the brakes are applied, and a delayed first time brake boost after the vehicle has been park for a period of time. When I left in the car the next day, I had to pump the brakes several times to get it to stop. Mitsibushi motors, and the dealer, tell me my car is not covered under the recall. Why? it has the exact same symptoms and could have resulted in a crash.

Defective hydraulic brake booster accumulator (NHTSA id#01v254001) on my 2001 Montero caused my brakes to fail while stopping at an intersection which resulted with me rear ending another vehicle! this happened over 1 year ago and the defective part has been making a terrible sound while braking for over 2 years. Everytime I performed maintenance on my vehicle. No one could confirm what was causing this noise. I just found out today (06/08/2004) what the part is and that it's known to fail, causing crashes what happened on 03/10/2003. I was cited for "failure to yield, but contested that my brakes failed at the point of avoiding the car in front of me. I had the vehicle checked several times and no one knew what was wrong with the vehicle? the brakes would continue to fail if I came to a fast stop and I have been driving the vehicle very carefully since this accident. Luckily I came accross the NHTSA website and discovered that I had a defective part!!! accident caused my vehicle $1,700. 00 in damages and the other vehicle damage. Also (not sure $ / covered by insurance) how do I go about filing a claim for my vehicles damage of $1,700. 00 and getting this part exchanged??? the Mitsubishi dealer I purchased my 2001 Montero from went out of business years ago.
