I HAVE HAD (2) OCCASIONS WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES HARD SUDDENLY AND LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT CONTINUED TO SLIDE. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DID CONFIRM THAT MY VEHICLE DOES EXACTLY WHAT I STATED AND HE INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE ABS BRAKES ON THE REAR AND NOT ON THE FRONT AND THEREFORE A SUDDEN, FORCEFUL STOP WILL CAUSE MY FRONT WHEELS TO LOCK UP. THIS HAS BEEN STATED IN WRITING ON THE SERVICE SHEET. THEREFORE, WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS LOCK UP, THE VEHICLE SLIDES AND I LOSE CONTROL. I CALLED MITSUBIS…

MEDIUM TO EXTREME FRONT END VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FRONT AND LEFT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AT AROUND 22,000 MILES (UNUSUAL) AND I THINK AT 31,000 MILES THEY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED ONCE MORE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLY LOSING CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. DATE OF INCIDENT IS JUST THE LATEST AND WORSE OF ABOUT 6 PREVIOUS INCIDENTS SINCE LAST REPLACEMENT OF WHEELS BEARINGS. NOT SURE IF THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE AS DEALER OBVIOUSLY CONTINUES TO CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MITSUBISHI RAIDER THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHTS GO OUT, ALL THE GAUGES QUIT WORKING, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND THE RADIO CUTS OFF.....SOMETIMES DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY. EVEN AFTER TAKING TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN LOCKING UP AND 'DRAGGING' UPON STOPPING SOMETIMES, HASN'T DONE IT LATELY, I THINK THE PART MAY HAVE FINALLY BROKE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM, BUT DEALER SAYS MY TRUCK WAS NOT IN THAT SERIES OF SERIAL NUMBERS THE DEFECT WAS FOUND IN, ALTHOUGH IT DOES THE SAME THING AS TH…

POWERTRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING ON A SPEED OF ABOUT 65-75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY/INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND THEN RELEASING THE BRAKE TO CONTINUE MOVING AGAIN AFTER THE SPEED GOES DOWN TO ABOUT 35-45 MPH, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING LIKE IT IS STUCK ON THIRD GEAR INSTEAD OF SHIFTING TO FOURTH GEAR. I HAVE BEEN TO AN AUTHORIZED NAPA AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE CODE THEY FOUND OUT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR AND SURE ENOUGH…
