THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE ARE NOT WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. ABS SYSTEM WAS RECALLED BY MITSUBISHI BACK IN JULY, AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO GETTING IN TO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY, WITH MY YOUNG SON IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I SPOKE TO MITSUBISHI THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IF I GOT THE BRAKES FIXED MYSELF, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT I WOULD NOT GET REIMBURSED. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE BRAKES GIVE OUT ALL TOGETHER BUT DUE TO A FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER, I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT OUT MY HARD EARNED MONEY AND NOT GET IT BACK. MY CAR DOES NOT STOP AS IT SHOULD WHILE DRIVING. THE BRAKE PEDDLE DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
