| Defect Summary | Mitsubishi is recalling 39,711 my 2008-2009 outlander and lacer vehicles. incorrect material composition of the brake booster check valve may cause the check valve to stick closed when the engine is shut off. when the vehicle is re-started and put into motion, under certain driving conditions (very slow vehicle maneuvers), there may be insufficient initial braking assist. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This may temporarily increase the stopping distance of the vehicle and therefore increase the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||

| I was driving highway speed when there was a weird noise and my abs light came on. i had to run an errand and when i got back in the car, my service engine light was on. i had my state emissions test and in turned failed because the service engine light is on. i took the car to the dealership and it was determined that the rear speed sensor malfunctions which has in turn caused my abs light and the abs light caused my service engine. the dealer says that there is nothing wrong with the brakes or abs and no reason to have failed emissions. i'm working to replace the speed sensor. *tr | |||

| Mitsubishi lancer es sport 2009. i having a problem with the brake system, i receive a letter of a service recall and i went to make the reparations. the car has present several brake problems with the front calipers, disks and pads. apparently the car has a defect because the left front caliper makes the pad have a faster wastage than usual and reduces the brake efficiency. i think that this is a very important problem because my life is in risk and other persons life because i can cause an accident.. the car has been repaired by 4 times but still with the same problem, actually the car has 29,157 miles. *tr | |||

| I was traveling southbound on the florida turnpike, i was on the left hand lane when i looked through the rearview mirror and noticed a vehicle behind doing about 80-90 miles per hour. i merged to the middle lane so that they could continue on. they were recklessly driving and they swerved to my lane, i proceeded to swerve to avoid getting hit and when i tried to hit the brakes they jammed on me. i lost control of the car and hit the right divider with the front of my car, the car proceeded to spin out of control and every angle of the car was hit with divider and then i ended up in the middle lane facing traffic. only 3 out of 8 airbags deployed. the main airbag which was the steering wheel airbag and knee airbags did not deploy. the car is claimed to be a total loss by geico. *tr | |||
