There is a recall on the vin number.

My 2008 eclipse had an open recall on issues with abs for over a year. After a year i was finally notified that the parts were available to fix the issue. After much hassle dealing with the local deal i took my car in for repair. The service center claimed to have fixed the problem. However now my car is no leaking brake fluid from the abs. I contacted customer service and was told i need to take the car to a service center to be looked at. Normally no issue that the local dealership recently closed and the next closest one is over 100 miles away. As my car is leaking brake fluid it has been deemed unsafe to drive. I was told i would have to pay to have the car towed to a service center to be looked at but they would not guarantee that it would be fixed. As this is a known problem with abs system and an open recall this is totally unacceptable. Customer service told me it was not their concern on getting the car to be fixed and it did not matter that there were no service centers where i lived. I was also told that it was not their problem. As this product is manufactured by them and has their name i find this totally laughable. It is obvious that this company has no concerns for their customers and has no intention of fixing an know issue as it is an open recall.

This car is a 2008 and i don't know if it is a factory error but is already asking for the catalyze converter to be changed and it only has 83,000 miles. I know because it didn't pass the emissions test. They asked me to fix code P0421.

I received a safety recall notice from mitsubishi motors in july of 2015. The notice is regarding a defect with the antilock breaking system hydraulic unit. The letter says i will be notified when the parts are available. I have called the local mitsubishi dealership and they say the parts are not reading i am still on a wait list. When operating the car sometimes the breaks go quite far down towards the floor. It has been too long to wait for these parts given there is a defect with the brakes.
