so a couple days ago i was driving down the driveway after my car had sat for a few days.. i hit the brakes at the end of the drive and my car just skidded... the brake went down but it felt like there was something inside of the brake cause it didn't stop and the pedal felt like it was crunching something .. after some quick e brake action. I pulled out and slowly went.. and the problem was gone..everything was fine. Tonight I almost died MANY times. I would be driving and go to hit the brakes and the car just SKIDDED!!! Like i was on ice... i got nervous and drove around a bit and the brakes were good again.. THEN all of a sudden MY CAR WONT TURN!!! i go to take a semi sharp turn and my car goes about 2 feet right and skids into stopped traffic almost wrecking.. I barely missed them. I pull off and go to a parking lot to try some turns to see if it had gone away... BAM.. both problems at once... on almost bone dry pavement my car doesn't turn and doesn't stop. occasionally it will tighten up and be normal.. but it's like driving a 6000lb astro van .. it sways and there is no handing what so ever.. and the brakes.. i hit them before i got home and it sounded like the clutch was shreiking.. like someone didn't put the clutch in while cruising down the road and just slammed it into a gear... please someone help my problem and tell me what's wrong

 

I say bring it to the dealer.

 

doesn't sound like related problems, more like coinsidence. my car sat for 2 weeks and then i drove it and my power steering was gone. i don't think it had to do with sitting, more to do with poor quality power steering pumps. as far as the brakes go u may have some air in the system or a loose conection/ leak on the vaccum line to your brake booster. u should still have warranty.. bring the thing in

 

My car is still under warranty.. so that means the dealer will take care of everything??

 

Seriously bro, if your car is still under warranty, don't even waste your time figuring out whats wrong. Its mitsu's problem.

If its not under warranty, we need a little more technical info. Were the brakes actually locked up or you just had no brakes?

Yessir. Might take a couple days to even have them look at it if they need to get a district rep in to verify that it wasn't "abused" and all the BS that comes along with warranty work.

Good luck my man.
