On 2/2/11 the brakes failed when my daughter's 2007 mistubishi Outlander was moved one car length forward in the dive way. The Outlander struck the rear of our 2002 Ford windstar. There have been 3 other incidents with this vehicle failing to stop when the brakes were applied, 2 of them resulted in accidents. I checked on-line for brake problems for Mitsubishi Outlander and found a recall for a defective "brake booster vacuum check valve" dated 3/10/2009 for 2008 and 2009 Mitsubishi Outlanders. The check valve "sticks" causing insufficient braking assit resulting in increased risk of crash. I checked the part numbers at the dealer for the defetive part. It is the same part usded in the brake system for my daughter's 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. Defective p/n 4630a055, replacement p/n 4630a187. Mitsubishi must be held accountable for this problem. How many lives has it taken??.
