Brake Sensor Problems of Mitsubishi Outlander

I was driving on the highway when an active stability control service warning displayed on the dashboard. It was coupled with the check engine light and immediately caused my car to seize up making me momentarily lose control of the vehicle. As I regained control the vehicle continued to resist any acceleration while the rpms would frequently spike. I also lost anti-lock brake functionality with no dashboard warning. Through my mechanic I later found out the car was forcing itself into "limp mode" because the engine air flow sensor was giving a faulty reading. All of this put my car into conditions for a crash had I not acted quickly to avoid it. It also created a repair bill that was unnecessary as this is apparently part of a known technical service bulletin TSB-13-13-008. I find it inappropriate and irresponsible of Mitsubishi to not have alerted me to the defect in the air flow sensor and filter box. It caused a needless dangerous driving condition and excess repairs.

When driving and coming to a stop the vehicle jerked and I pressed on the brakes vehicle rear ended vehicle infront of me. Sensor did not go off and vehicle was at fault.

Vehicle displays abs/asc warning/service required. My mechanic says it's the abs pump, which will cost over $2000 in parts/labor to replace. According to someone who works at a local Mitsubishi dealer, the 2010 abs pumps are flawed - many vehicles have had the pump replaced. My mechanic said it's safe to drive, but advises to take extra care in heavy rain/snow/ice. Meanwhile the service light remains on. I already replaced the rear tire abs sensor (almost $1000) because the vehicle would hesitate when taking my foot off the brake. )probably related to the problem with the pump. ) I don't think it's right that Mitsubishi knows there is a problem and it's an expensive fix. They are putting their bottom line before customers' safety. I don't know how NHTSA mandates recalls, but I'd love to see this issue resolved via recall. Thank you.
