2018 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vehicles equipped with a Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) system and 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Eclipse Cross vehicles and 2017-2018 Outlander vehicles equipped with an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system and/or an Electric Parking Brake (EPB) system. The software for the Hydraulic Unit Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may be incorrect, possibly preventing the intervention of a safety system such as automatic emergency braking, Anti-lock Braking (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), or the Brake Auto Hold (BAH) function when any of these systems are in use.

Risk: If the safety systems do not function as intended, it can increase the risk of a crash.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The problem: You can drive fast or slow and at any given moment, the car display all alarms like the adaptive cruise control, emergency brake, engine. All the lights start to blink inside the car, there is a beep with those lights. The steering wheel does not move, gets locked, the brakes get locked (you cannot move the steer wheel or press the brakes), the engine starts to make a rattling sound and the car starts to bounce, then slowly the car starts shutting down until its off. This problem has been happening since I bought the car brand new on 2018. At the beginning, the car was inside the dealership ever so often to try to fix that problem. That recall was presented in other VIN numbers but not mine, but the dealer decided to "so call" fix it. The problem stopped happening for a while, then started again. It went back to the dealership in Schaumburg Mitsubishi. They told me without a receipt or notice, they fix it, again. When the dealership closed, I didnt know where to go or what to do. The case number left in Mitsubishi motors was only available for a year, so when I called again, I had to make a new case but there was no dealer no more. When I went to Gregory Mitsubishi, I explained the problem but they couldnt find anything and they couldnt get any information about my history because Schaumburg Mitsubishi was gone. I know how to manage the problem, I just have to move back to a safe spot quickly, sometimes doing unsafe maneuvers, so I wont cause an accident. This year so far, has happened another 4-5 times and I dont know what to do, because Jidd Mitsubishi dont want to do anything about it.
