  WHILE DRIVING ON SNOW AS BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE ABS KICKED IN AND THE VEHICLE SLID. AT THAT POINT ALL BRAKE PRESSURE AT THE PEDAL WAS LOST AND FAILED TO RETURN. BRAKING REQUIRED FULL ENGAGING PEDAL AND HAD LITTLE TO NO PRESSURE. ABOUT 2 DAYS LATER ALL BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE RETURNED. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, ANYTIME I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS, AND HAS COME CLOSE TO CAUSING A COLLISION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN BRAKES ARE ENGAGED AND THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL HITS A BUMP. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS ALL BRAKE PRESSURE AT THE PEDAL IS LOST, HOWEVER AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS IT IS FINE AGAIN. ALSO EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A WHISTLE SOUND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MANY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR OWNERS, AND SOME HAVE SUGGESTED GETTING RID OF THE VEHICLE ALL TOGETHER. THIS ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE CAN BE READ ABOUT FROM MANY OWNERS AT SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS: CLUB 4G: HTTP://CLUB4G.ORG/BOARD/PROBLEM-REPORTS/31276-SPONGY-BRAKE-PEDAL-WHISTLE-RELEASE.HTML#POST1321818 CAR TALK: HTTP://COMMUNITY.CARTALK.COM/DISCUSSION/2284516/2006-MITSUBISHI-ECLIPSE-BRAKE-PROBLEM. *TR

I TOLD THEM I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE BUT IT HAD TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE AS VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. THEY PERFORMED AN ABS RECALL INSPECTION AND TOLD ME CAR WAS FINE......".I SAID NO IT'S NOT AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. OCT 2ND THE BRAKE FAILED AND IN AVOIDING ANOTHER CAR I WENT INTO THE DITCH CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAR AND MILD WHIPLASH. CAR WAS TOWED. I INFORMED DEALER AND ASKED WHAT I SHOULD DO.......HE SAID THEY COULD FLUSH SYSTEM BUT MOST LIKELY THE ABS UNIT NEEDED REPLACING AND THEY DID NOT HAVE IT. I TALKED TO MITCHUBISHI N.AWHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL........I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT INSURANCE WILL FIX BUT I WILL PAY 500.00 DEDUCTIBLE FOR A CAR THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE, SO NOW WHAT DO I DO?

  MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GL WHEN HE RAN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE OVER CORRECTED WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES AND HIT AN ELECTRIC POLE BEFORE COMING TO REST. THE CAR THEN BURST INTO FLAMES. MY SON AND HIS PASSENGERS MIRACULOUSLY WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BEFORE THE CAR WAS REPORTED TO HAVE EXPLODED AND BECOME COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT MITSUBISHI HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS DUE TO CONCERNS WITH A DEFECTIVE PART ON THE FUEL TANK. WE PURCHASED THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO FROM A DEALER AND THE CAR HAS A WARRANTY. WHEN I CONTACTED MITSUBISHI TO DETERMINE IF THE RECALL WORK HAD BE RECORDED ONTO HIS CAR. I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS NOT ONE OF THE CARS WITH A RECALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A RECALL LIKE OTHER 2007 MODELS YET THE CAR BURST INTO FLAMES AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. SEECOMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 45988 SUMMARY: MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 45,988 MY 2005-2007 ENDEAVOR, GALANT, ECLIPSE COUPE, AND MY 2007 ECLIPSE SPYDER VEHICLES. THE BRACKET THAT IS THE ATTACHMENT POINT FOR THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAP MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY FORMED DURING A METAL STAMPING PROCESS. THE PROCESS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE METAL TO HAVE A SPLIT IN THE AREA WHERE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK STRAPS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT THE FUEL TANK IS FULL AND THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SEVERE COLLISION, THE BRACKET MAY BREAK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO DROP DOWN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A FUEL LEAK. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK STRAP MOUNTING BRACKET HAS SPLITTING BEYOND A SPECIFIC LIMIT. VEHICLES WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE SPLITTING WILL BE REPAIRED USING A REINFORCEMENT CAP, A SPECIAL STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE. *TR

• 10/07/2022· SERVICE BRAKES

  Brakes consistently fail to hold pressure and are letting go. I purchased this car back in April and the previous owner had no idea of the recall. Did a bit of research and found it's a defect in the system. Once the car fails to hold pressure I have to very rapidly spam the break pedal to get a sliver of pressure so my car can come to a stop. Breaking with little pressure grinds the brakes and doesn't stop the car.

• 10/07/2015· SERVICE BRAKES

  SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING SOMETHING AND NOW THE BRAKES ARE VERY SPONGY AND NEED TO PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO STOP. ALSO MAKES A NOISE WHEN LETTING GO OF THE PEDAL. WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO AND THE PARTS STILL AREN'T AVAILABLE. HOPING IT DOESN'T GET ANY WORSE WHILE MITSUBISHI PLAYS AROUND GETTING THE PARTS TO STOP MY CAR.

• 09/30/2025· SERVICE BRAKES

  With my vehicle the brakes go straight to the floor. I took it to the mitsubishi dealership closest to me (Bobmills mitsubishi Jacksonville Nc). When I got there i told them what was going on, and if you bleed the brakes they worked fine for 3 or 4 days but after that the brakes would just go to the floor again. They said they bleed the brakes to replace the fluid and then tested the ABS module for a recall and said it was fine but I had a collapsed brake line in the rear. I replaced all the brake lines on the vehicle and did a complete bleed again to remove any air. The brakes now go all the way to the floor again. I was trying to bleed them just to see if I could get some pressure, but 3 of the lines aren't getting pressure. I decided to check and bleed at the master cylinder, I had plenty of pressure coming out so I know that's good. Then I checked the bleed pressure at the ABS module thats on the recall and I am only getting pressure from the drivers front tire, the other 3 are not giving pressure at all, even if you pump the brakes while they are open. So I know the cylinders in that ABS module are bad. So I called the dealership again and they are refusing to do it because they said they don't work on vehicles that old.

  AFTER A SUDDEN STOP DUE TO PEDESTRIAN JAY WALKER IN THE ROAD, THE BRAKES BECAME ALMOST IRRESPONSIVE, THE FEELING IS SPONGY AND THE PEDAL MAKES A WHOOOA SOUND WHEN RELEASED. NOW THE PEDAL TRAVELS ALMOST TO THE END BEFORE THERE IS ANY BRAKE RESPONSE.. THERE NO LEAKS OR ANY OTHER ATTRIBUTED TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKES, THE CAR IS VERY UNSAFE NOW AND MY MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER, LINES, AIR IN THE SYSTEM AND THE PADS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.. THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

  MY CAR WAS HIT BY A DRIVER WHO RAN A RED LIGHT WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. THE OTHER DRIVER HIT ME AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THANK GOD MY SEAT BELTS WORKED PROPERLY AND I ESCAPED THE ACCIDENT WITH VERY MINOR INJURIES. IT IS QUITE A CONCERN THE AIRBAGS FAILED. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY FEELS IT IS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS SEVERE OF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE AIR BAGS. I THINK AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED ON 2007 AIRBAGS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *JB
