2006 Mitsubishi Raider Brakes Problems

“For the last 2 years this vehicle has had rust issues, the whole thing is rusting through. Underneath, bumper, tow hooks, the parts underneath the truck. I was blown off by mitshubishi when I complained. They told me this was my issue to due I lived in maine. Seriously, this truck was taken care of and I have been the only owner, and it's a 2006 and I bought it brand new march of 2007 make it 5 years old!

“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. …”
