I own a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero ltd. Approx 2 weeks ago noticed random, intermittent chirping noise. Can also feel vibration in brake pedal when chirping. Noise has become more frequent and continual. Took to midas and was told there is a recall #01v254001. Called capitol Mitsubishi,san jose,CA only to be informed that since SUV has 173,000 miles the recall does not apply. Per dealership max miles is 150,000 so the repair will cost me between $500-600. Based on research the hydraulic brake booster wont function when needed.

I also own a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero ltd. I have owned it for 6 years and have had to replace the brakes 6 times. I drive up and down the southern CA mountains, and have experienced the same same shaking a shimming as I have heard other owners express. The brakes continually wear with black "dust" around the wheels, and make the grinding and groaning sounds as well. I have not attempted to contact Mitsubishi regarding this problem, but however, am realizing that it has become a real issue, and continues to cost upwards of $600 each time I have to replace the brakes. Any assistance regarding the brakes would be greatly appreciated.

The 2002 Mitsubishi Montero has a hydraulic brake booster accumulator issue. It results in a chirping noise in the dash area and really firm brake pedal when the car is first started. Mitsubishi is aware of the issue, they sent a warranty extension to cover the issue but my car is out of the 10 year/150,000 mile warranty they extended. I still have the problem that the other cars have. I found that in my research, that Mitsubishi had a recall for the same issue for cars made in the manufactured before June 20, 2001. My car was made on April 5, 2002 and is having the same issue. Instead of them doing a safety recall for this issue, they chose to do a warranty extension. It is the same exact issue as the previous recall but they will not recall it.

I own a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero ltd. The brakes need to be replaced on a regular basis due to a faulty system. The rotors wear down every time and must be replaced. I have been driving autos for over 50 years and have never ever had a problem like this. There is a known problem with Mitsubishi's brakes yet they continue to tell me that my auto is not one of them. I am afraid to drive this auto and it is being stored since the last brake replacement due to the loud grinding and groaning the brakes make. The brakes also seam to shutter and cause the auto to vibrate when I try to stop. This auto was used for travel to and from IL. To mi. On week ends a total trip of 132 miles each way. There are only 47,000 miles on this auto and I have had three complete brake replacements so far. Please help me, I have tried everything else to no avail. I am retired and cannot afford the constant cost to maintain this faulty product.

In 2007 I had the brakes to my 2003 mitsubushi Montero limited replaced because I felt they my truck would not stop as desired. After having the brakes replaced it appears that the problem became worse. I took my vehicle back to the dealer and they assured me that there was nothing wrong with the brakes. In Dec 2007 I tried stopping in less than 3 inches of snow. My truck would not stop, I almost had an accident. When I hit the brakes it sounded and felt like the brakes were grinding or even a crunching sound. When driving in dry conditions the brakes appear to work very well but in wet or snow conditions it does not handle at all. Since then the front brakes was again replaced in Nov 2008. Again on 27 Jan 2009 I tried stopping in less than 2 inches of snow and the truck did not stop. I had to drive on the curb in order to stop. I was on a residential street and was driving less than 20 miles per hour. My brakes does not work in snow conditions or even in extremely wet conditions.

Brake booster accumulator failure there was a recall in 2001 it was replace now it fail. Mitsubishi refuse to replace.

On August 13th I noticed a chirping sound coming from the left dash area after the vehicle had not been driven much for a couple of weeks. On August 25th, our mechanic said there was a problem with the abs system. He contacted Mitsubishi and was told there was a recall, arrangements were made for mitsubisihi to fix the problem and be provided free rental car and that it was fully covered under the recall. On August 26th, we were told our vehicle was not covered under the recall, that our car was made 5 months after the recall. The problem was obviously not corrected, because I have the exact recall issue and found multiple complaints filed with the NHTSA with vehicles with similar VIN #'s and the same issue. My vehicle was manufactured too close to the recall date to rule out that my vehicle also has a faulty abs accumulator booster. Mitsubishi should also be held accountable for telling us that our vehicle did fall under the recall. We took work off to make arrangements with Mitsubishi and then they went back on their verbal guarantee to fix the vehicle and provide a rental car. It is obvious from reading other complaints and talking to other vehicle servicers that this was a serious recall. I have an undriveable vehicle that should be repaired at Mitsubishi's expense. My car is only 6 years old and already had the rotors replaced for the 3rd time, I have been told by each mechanic that this is not normal, I have obviously been driving a faulty and unsafe vehicle for several years and this is very disconcerting. Mitsubishi needs to be held accountable for their faulty part and for their verbal promise to fix the vehicle.

Montero has to be jumped to turn on, bucks with defrost on, no air, no radio, and brakes are bad. Dealer will not help with cost.

The accumulator on my brake booster is going bad. There is a strange noise coming from the left side of the dash panel by the brake pedal. I have taken the vehicle to the Mitsubishi dealer to have the accumulator replaced since it is a safety issue. There is a recall (01v254001) on this part for my vehicle (2002 Mitsubishi Montero) produced before June 20,2001. My vehicle's VIN# is ja4mw51r62j012655 and it is not covered in the recall because it was manufactured on or after June 20,2001. So as it stands I have a defective part installed in a vehicle that has a recall for that specific part on that specific vehicle for that specific year and it happens to not be a recall. This situation does not sound right.

Car either fails to stop or is slow to stop resulting in several near crashes. This car has been to the dealer and to local brakes shops numerous times to no avail.
