NHTSA Complaint #10678695 — 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE

VEHICLE BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO BRAKING. BRAKES ALMOST GO INTO FLOORBOARD BEFORE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BRAKING. CAR IS VERY WOBBLY FEELING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S RAINING OR WET OUTSIDE, THE CAR WILL SLIDE INTO ANYTHING WHEN USING BRAKES. I HAD TO RUN UP ON CURB TO MISS HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP! BRAKE LIGHT ALSO WAS ON, SO REPAIRED IT AT BODY SHOP AND REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER. AFTER MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF BUT CAR WAS STILL DRIVING THE SAME, (WOBBLY, NOT STOPPING ON TIME, BRAKES GOING INTO FLOORBOARD). ABOUT A MONTH OR LESS LATER BRAKE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND BODY SHOP SAID IT WAS BRAKE FLUID SO THEY FIXED IT, THEN BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT STILL DRIVING THE SAME. ROTATED TIRES, REPLACED OLD TIRES AND PUT ON NEW ONES, ALIGNED CAR, REPLACED BREAK PADS, REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER, AND STILL NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS CAR AND NOTHING WORKS. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR DURING THE TIME IT'S BEEN REPAIRED TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT IT CAN'T BE REPAIRED NO MATTER WHAT MECHANICS DO. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AND I AM JUST INCHES AWAY FROM HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND EITHER HURTING MYSELF OR OTHER PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE). I DO NOT SEE HOW ANYONE CAN DRIVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT BRAKES WORKING AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF FIXING THIS ISSUE, SINCE ME AND OTHER ECLIPSE 2007 OWNERS HAVE TAKEN INITIATIVE TO FIX OUR VEHICLES. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO BECOME AWARE OF THEM BEFORE ONE OF US KILLS OURSELVES IN AN ACCIDENT. THANKS. *TR
