Every time I apply the brakes it makes a rapidly pulsating sensation like the ABS is engaging, even when I'm going at a slow speed or when I'm not making a rapid stop, have taken it in to huntington beach Mitsubishi 2/23/09 - they ordered rear brake shoes, 03/05/09 - replaced rear brake shoes and machined front rotors per tsb, 06/30/09 - advise turn drums, 10/20/09 - order front rotors (for which they made me pay, applied stop squeak, 10/22/09 - brake job front end, replaced pads and applied stop squeak (I paid for pads and stop squeak) 05/05/10 same problem they told me they're waiting on dpsm, and now they want me to come in Monday 7/24/10 for another brake job, even though I've said that is not taking care of the problem and how many times can the rotors be turned before I have to replace them again. I did not ask for the old parts. They have never addressed the ABS, even when I showed them a copy of recall notice on the ABS #06V038000 I bought this Raider pickup new in 2006 to last me for my old age. I can't afford to keep getting a new brake job every 6,000 miles.

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 the recalled trucks made the same year as mine. Now the rear brake drum is leaking brake fluid. Truck has 36, 000 on it, dealers have been no help whatsoever on any of the issues.
