NHTSA Complaint #10888012 — 2010 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

VEHICLE DISPLAYS ABS/ASC WARNING/SERVICE REQUIRED. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S THE ABS PUMP, WHICH WILL COST OVER $2000 IN PARTS/LABOR TO REPLACE. ACCORDING TO SOMEONE WHO WORKS AT A LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER, THE 2010 ABS PUMPS ARE FLAWED - MANY VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE PUMP REPLACED. MY MECHANIC SAID IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT ADVISES TO TAKE EXTRA CARE IN HEAVY RAIN/SNOW/ICE. MEANWHILE THE SERVICE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I ALREADY REPLACED THE REAR TIRE ABS SENSOR (ALMOST $1000) BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. )PROBABLY RELATED TO THE PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP.) I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT MITSUBISHI KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IT'S AN EXPENSIVE FIX. THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR BOTTOM LINE BEFORE CUSTOMERS' SAFETY. I DON'T KNOW HOW NHTSA MANDATES RECALLS, BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED VIA RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR
