Consumer Description

ABS BRAKE MODULATOR WAS A KNOWN FAULTY DESIGN PER MITSUBISHI. AN UPDATED UNIT WITH NEW MODEL NUMBER ALLEDGEDLY FIXES THE COMMON PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNDER RECALL. MY CAR HAS ONLY 55,000 MILES AND THESE PUMPS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR NORMALLY. THE COST TO REPLACE IS $1800 WHICH IS MUCH HIGHER THAN MOST MAKES AND MODELS.
