2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Brakes Problems

BRAKES ON VEHICLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND STARTED TO MAKE AN AIR SUCKING SOUND TOOK A COUPLE MINUTES TO PUMP THE BRAKES BACK UP BEFORE COULD START DRIVING AGAIN.

ABS LIGHT CAME ON... TOOK TO FIRESTONE SINCE IT WAS CLOSEST TO COLLEGE....THEY REPLACED MY FRONT BRAKES....A FEW WEEKS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND WOULD DO THIS FREQUENTLY SO I TOOK IT BACK TO FIRESTONE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE LEFT FRONT SPEED SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE....I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND SPOKE TO SEVERAL CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD OR WOULD DO.... I ASKED IF THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART SINCE IT WAS ONLY THE LEFT SIDE THAT WENT BAD NOT BOTH AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION.... I AM NOT HAPPY... THE REPAIR IS OVER $500 AND MY CONCERN IS DRIVING ON WET ROADS AND THE BRAKES FAILING. STATUS UPDATE 07/31/14 UPDATED 03/3/15 *JS

THE VERY FIRST APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES UPON STARTING EXHIBITS INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE DURING PARKING LOT MANEUVERS. SUBSEQUENT APPLICATIONS OF THE BRAKE REVEAL FULL PEDAL FORCE AND NORMAL STOPPING DISTANCE. VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF RECALL 09V077000 BUT IS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO VERACOM MITSUBISHI SAN MATEO C.A. WHERE I PURCHASED MY 2008 MITSUBISHI GTS FOR THE RECALL ID # 09V077000 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:CHECK VALVE - , THEY DENIED THE RECALLED AND SERVICES ON MY VEHICLE AND CHECK THERE COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND SHOWED ME THERE WAS NO RECALLED FOR THIS CAR AND PROBLEMS. I CHECK THE WEB SITE AND NHTSA.GOV THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRY ABOUT THE FAULTY PARTS AND UNSURE WHERE I CAN GET HELP AND TO GET IT REPAIRED. TODAY IS SATURDAY AND I HAVE TO DRIVE VERY LATE TO PICK UP MY SON FROM BABYSITTER AT NIGHT, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AND DRIVING MY CAR DURING THE RAIN STORM. VEHICLE: 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER GTS. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS OF WHICH I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN TO THE MITSUBISHI DEALER TO CHECK OUT TO FIND OUT THAT THEY COULD FIND OUT NOTHING. THE BRAKES GAVE OUT ONCE AND I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. THANK GOD I DID NOT HIT ANYONE. THEY SEEMED TO WORK AFTERWARDS. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THIS WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIME A WEEK. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT THOROUGHLY AND OF COURSE THEY FOUND NOTHING OUT. NOW I AM DEALING WITH A THUMPING NOISE WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND I GO TO TAKE OFF. THIS NOISE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT SEEMS TO ONLY BE HEARD WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AND YOU GO TO TAKE OFF. ALSO THE HEATER FAN CLICKS OFF AND ON RANDOMLY. I NEVER HAD THIS OR HEARD THIS LOUD CLICKING ON AND OFF FAN NOISE WHEN I HAD A 2004 LANCER. I ALSO HAD IT CHECK OUT AND AGAIN THEY TELL ME THAT IS NORMAL. I DO NOT THINK SO. *TR

MY SON WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES STARTED TO PULSE UNCONTROLLABLY, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ALSO THE ABS LIGHT LIT UP. UNFORTUNATELY HE COULD NOT STOP IN TIME AND HE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. THREE WEEKS LATER AFTER THE CAR WAS REPAIRED, I WENT TO GO START THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP AND SOME OF MY ELECTRIC STOP WORKING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER TWO DAYS OF DIAGNOSTICS THEY SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A WIRING HARNESS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THE DEALER THAT THE ABS WAS THE REASON WE HAD THE ACCIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THAT WAS WHEN THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM STARTED. THERE WAS A BILL FOR $423 THAT WE HAD TO PAY BECAUSE THE DEALER INSISTED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH MITSUBISHI TO SEE IF THIS CAN BE RECTIFIED. ALSO I DO HOPE SOMEONE WILL INVESTIGATE THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IT WAS VERY UNNERVING TO HIT THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. *TR
