Thanks for your post Yatza :) That must've been an expensive fix! The master cylinder and the ABS and it still didn't fix the issue :( Was the braking problem on your truck constant or intermittent? If it's the callipers, is it likely that the problem would occur every 2-3 months or would it always ...

Hello toc, Thanks for checking up on the issue. Nothing new at the moment :( My dad has the car sitting in his garage and he's still trying to figure out what's going on. The problem only happens every 2-3 months but my dad can make the problem happen when stationary. He doesn't think it's the ABS b...

Thanks @toc. I read the link you sent - thanks! These events happened 5+ years apart, so they may not be related. But I just thought I'd mention it. Yes, the master cylinder was replaced (brand new, genuine Mitsubishi, $800 :() I had no idea I could ask for my old parts back because I'm now sure the...

Thanks @toc :) I also ran your previous suggestion of putting the car up on a hoist and checking if the wheels still spin. My dad has a pit but no hoist so he can't try that. I'll definitely send him your most recent suggestions too and see what he finds :) The Mitsubishi dealer and my dad both repr...

Thanks @toc I appreciate your thorough reply and advice :) Thank you. I talked to my dad and my brother about your suggestion today (my husband works away from home and is, well, not as good with cars as my dad and brother :oops:). My dad got the brakes to fail and it seems that disengaging the ABS ...

I have now called three Mitsubishi dealers: they've all said my car (made April 2008) is not eligible for any outstanding recalls (I had the driver belt replaced as part of a recall but that's it).

Hello Dora_Anne,
I did ask Mitsubishi about the booster recall. I gave them my VIN and they said I wasn't eligible

Hello everyone, I just wanted to update you all on my Lancer and the brake issue. I took it into Mitsubishi to have them look at it (they told me they had better and more specialised equipment than generic mechanics - not sure though, lol). But given I've taken it into another mechanic whom I've alw...

Thanks Dora_anne, I definitely will let you know how it goes and hopefully have a solution for anyone else with this issue!

Thanks @xCeary!

Already had an awesome response to my questions! What a great community Thank you!

Thanks @dora_anne; Lancer1993 and toc :) For the first six years of my car's life, I took it to two Mitsubishi dealers for servicing. One of which was the dealer I bought the car from. I'm the only owner. They did send me a recall in Dec 2014 about a belt and replaced it, but never have they said an...

Thanks @burfadel and @mynaneisdaniel: I went and pumped the brake 3-4 times as suggested with the engine off. The brake pedal does become stiffer (but with force I could still press it down to a certain degree). I'm assuming that's healthy? Maybe it's normal because the brakes have been bled and it'...
