NHTSA Complaint #10427554 — 2002 MITSUBISHI MONTERO

MY MONTERO WAS MAKING A CHIRPING NOISE. I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND TWO DEALERDS AT SAN ANTONIO TEXAS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME MY VIN DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS OR SAFETY RECALLS AT THE TIME. LATER AFTER THE SYSTEM FAILING I CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON THE WWW AND FOUND THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER ACCUMULATOR WAS THE ONE LEAKING NITROGEN GAS A CAUSING THE FAULT AND THE NOISE. I CALLED MITSUBISHI AGAIN WITH INFO BUT I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE EVENTHOUGH IT WAS SHOWING THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A BAD HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER ACCUMULATOR MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. SO THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HONOR THE SAFETY RECALL FOR MY MITSIBISHI MONTERO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT
