  UPON TRYING TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES BECAME EFFECTIVE. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT OTHER CARS WHEN STOPPING. I REPORTED THIS TO MITSUBISHI AND TOLD THEM I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE PART OF AN OLD 2006 WARRANTY RECALL BUT THEY CLAIMED MY VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 2006 RECALL, YET IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS OF MULTIPLE YEARS OF ECLIPSES 2006 AND BEYOND. THIS IS A DANGEROUS BRAKING PROBLEM. *TR

  THE TOP COAT, CLEAR COAT, OF PAINT HAS BEGUN TO SEPARATE FROM THE BLACK PAINT. THIS IS HAPPENING VERY RAPIDLY AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD OVER THE TOP OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS IN LATE 90'S EARLY 2000'S FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON FOR THE EXACT SAME COLOR OF VEHICLE.

• 12/04/2012· SERVICE BRAKES

  THE BRAKES LOST PRESSURE AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AS I WAS MOVING VERY SLOWLY AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS NO-ONE IN FRONT OF ME, NOTHING AWFUL HAPPENED. AFTER THAT, THE BRAKES WERE FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER. BECAUSE IT WAS SO QUICK AND SPORADIC I THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS I WAS IMAGINING IT! THEN IN 2011 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC BUT BY THE TIME I GOT TO HIM, THE PROBLEM HAD STOPPED, HE COULDN'T REPLICATE IT AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THEN ON NOVEMBER 30TH, 2012 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I COULDN'T STOP AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SAILED RIGHT THROUGH THE LIGHT COMING TO A HALT EVENTUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NO-ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND NO-ONE ELSE HAD STARTED MOVING IN THE OTHER DIRECTIONS. AT THAT POINT I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKING SYSTEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC. TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT, HE EVENTUALLY CHECKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ISSUED IN 2005 FOR MY MAKE, MODEL & YEAR FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS (RECALL #SR-05-003). HE CALLED MITSUBISHI TO SEE IF I WAS COVERED AND FOUND OUT THAT MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED!! AT THAT POINT, THEY TOLD HIM I WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A "WARRANTY EXTENSION". I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE MITSUBISHI DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A REPLACEMENT MASTER CYLINDER. THEY CONTACTED MITSUBISHI HEADQUARTERS AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY HAVE DECLINED MY REQUEST TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND HAVE THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AT THEIR COST (AND NOW NO MENTION OF THIS "WARRANTY EXTENSION" THAT THEY TOLD MY MECHANIC). OBVIOUSLY MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED YEARS AGO - I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR YEARS WITH A FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEM!! *TR

  As with the early 2000's recall the paint (Clear coat) on Kalapana Black (Code X13) has started to peel off and Mitsubishi refused to address the issue. My vehicle has less than 75k miles and has been garaged most of its life as it is not a daily driver and I am the only owner. Mitsubishi recalled the earlier years but stopped it I believe in 2002 being the latest year but seems they continued the painting practices.

• 10/05/2015· SERVICE BRAKES

  I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY THAT THE BRAKES COULD FAIL IF THE ABS IS ACTIVATED. MITSUBISHI REFERRED ME TO A DEALER (THE ONLY DEALER IN NEVADA). THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T MAKE ANY REPAIRS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE CAR. SO, I CALLED MITSUBISHI, AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO REPAIR SOLUTION AVAILABLE. SO I REQUESTED A LOANER, SINCE MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T SUPPLY LOANERS, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR UNLESS THE BRAKES FAIL. UNBELIEVABLE! TWO MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES FAILED AFTER ABS SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED IN THE RAIN AND I SLID THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON A CITY STREET AT 45MPH AFTER TRYING TO STOP USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR THE TOW (BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS DISABLED) AND FOR STORAGE (BECAUSE THEY ALLEGEDLY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR). MITSUBISHI OFFERED NO HELP WHATSOEVER. THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN'T MAKE THE REPAIR. I TOLD MITSUBISHI ABOUT MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, AND THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. THEY SAID THEY AREN'T AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS, AND THAT ONLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN OPT TO TOW/REPAIR THE CAR OR SUPPLY A LOANER. SO NOW MY CAR SITS IN THE PARKING LOT, BROKEN DOWN WITH NO BRAKES, WITH A RECALL NOTICE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY WANT ME TO TOW THE CAR 45 MILES OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, OR DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO BRAKES. THEN THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR THE LOANER. AND THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR STORAGE WHILE THE CAR SITS ON THEIR LOT WAITING FOR MITSUBISHI TO COME UP WITH A REPAIR SOLUTION. UNBELIEVABLE.

  WHILE PERFORMING A STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST ALL PRESSURE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DID STOP BUT TOOK LONGER TO DO SO. AFTER REVIEWING THE RECALL NOTICE FOR ABS BRAKES I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A MITSUBISHI DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THERE WAS A RECALL BUT DID NOT INSPECT ANYTHING BEYOND DRIVING THE CAR TO TEST THE BRAKES. BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND THE ONE AND A HALF WEEKS THEY CLAIMED WAS THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE RECALL (15V337) STATES THE HYDRAULIC UNIT WILL BE FLUSHED, CLEANED AND INSPECTED. THE DEALER INDICATED THEY WERE ONLY TESTING THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY DRIVING IT AND WHEN THE INCIDENT DID NOT PRODUCE THE SAME RESULT, THAT WAS THE END OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY UNTIL I RECEIVED A CERTIFIED LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2015 AND IT IS NOW THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2015.

  IN DECEMBER 2010, I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 30 MILES AND AS I WAS COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, I APPLIED MY BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS "SOFT", WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO STOP. HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID HITTING IT. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE AND REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH A NEW ONE. IN AUGUST OF 2011, I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAD DRIVEN 30 MILES TO HOME FROM WORK AND THEN RAN A FEW ERRANDS AROUND TOWN. AS I WAS HEADING HOME, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND FELT A JERK OR A POP AND THEN THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I ONLY HAD MINIMAL BRAKING POWER. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO MY SHOP AND HAD PROBLEMS STOPPING THE ENTIRE TIME. I DID HAVE MORE BRAKE POWER IF I PUMPED THE BRAKES PRIOR TO COMING TO A STOP. MY SHOP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND 2 RECALLS - THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I CALLED MITSUBISHI BUT THEY SAID THESE RECALLS DID NOT APPLY TO MY SPECIFIC VIN. MY SHOP SUGGESTED I BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN I HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN OR TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC SAID IN ALL HIS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, HE HAS NEVER HAD TO CHANGE A MASTER CYLINDER ON A MITS EXCEPT FOR MINE. I DROVE A 1995 ECLIPSE FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS BEFORE THIS ONE AND NEVER HAD BRAKING ISSUES WITH IT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ALSO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED I BRING THE CAR BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO THEY COULD TRY TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE WHEN THEY CAN EXPERIENCE IT FOR THEMSELVES. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE LAST FEWS DAY AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS BUT I BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND IT IS UPSETTING TO ME THAT TWICE IN THAT PAST YEAR I HAVE SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF W/O BRAKES. I KNOW THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONT END IMPACT ACCIDENT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT AND I WONDER IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *KB

  I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP AT THE NEXT STOP SIGN MY BRAKE PEDAL FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO GRAB THEN WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR CAUSING ME TO PASS THE STOP SIGN. THE NEXT TIME I TRIED TO STOP IT WAS FINE. THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER IT ONCE AGAIN DID THE SAME THING WHILE TRYING TO PARK AT THE GROCERY STORE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HIT A CAR IN THE PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF ME. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I CRANKED IT BACK UP THE BRAKES WERE FINE. LEFT IT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY A FEW DAYS AND NOW THE BRAKES ARE DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND WILL NOT FIX ITSELF AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR NOW, BECAUSE IT SCARES ME SO BAD AND I HAVE TO MAINTAIN A VERY LARGE DISTANCE FROM THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME. BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR, BUT THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED AND THERE IS NOT A DEALERSHIP NEAR ME THAT HONORS FIDELITY WARRANTY THAT I PAID $2000 FOR. CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, IT DID NOT EFFECT MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER. THAT'S CRAP, IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE RECALL SAYS AND THEY WON'T FIX THE ISSUE. I CAN'T DRIVE IT THE 65 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WILL HONOR THE FIDELITY WARRANTY, AND THE WARRANTY WON'T PAY FOR TOWING THAT FAR. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXPENSIVE FIX... WHAT CONCERNS ME MORE IS THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP, PAID $2000 FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY I CAN'T USE, AND I CAN'T GET THE CAR FIXED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT (REASON WHY I BOUGHT THE WARRANTY). AT A LOSS!!! *TR
