2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

[jhjhjh]

Hi all, would like to check with other EC owners if you've experienced the same below;

My EC suddenly emergency braked itself for about half a second yesterday morning while driving on PIE, was not going very fast (maybe 40-50km/h) due to traffic, not very near to the car in front as well.

The yellow BRAKE warning from the FCM came on a few times before in the past (false alarm), but this is the first time the car actually activated the emergency brake by itself.

 

Downloaded the video from the LogOn dash cam into the app, but somehow it doesn't have the option to share the video outside of the iPhone app. Thought of taking out the SD card from the cam, but it's stuck pretty tightly to the mount. Fiddled with it for awhile and gave up. Hais. 

 

Anyway, can't tell much from the video as the car was not going very fast plus surrounded by cars. Also the e-brake came on for only half a sec then disengaged.

I personally feel that the T8 is quite disappointing in terms of quality....sigh

 

 

So time to change the t8

Yeah bro, generally approx 3 months wait.. I booked the Sports model w sunroof red colour around Mid July and only going to collect my baby next week

Happy man

Report this to Mitsubishi/Cycle & Carriage. You seem to be affected by the Mitsubishi recall I mentioned a few pages back.

 

I've also experienced the emergency brake warning many times, but it has never actually auto-braked by itself.

Everyone seems to experience it I always had it going thru bumps but just beep for a quick second. Anyway supposedly EC and Outlander due for recall in the USA and Australia due to FCM. But no news in Singapore yet.

Beeping is still ok, though it does startle the driver if he/she is not used to it. The first few times I encountered it, I was quite shocked.

 

Automatically engaging the emergency brakes without driver intervention in a non-emergency situation will increase the risk of being rear-ended by the vehicle behind you, which is dangerous and must be reported!

 

FYI, I emailed Mitsubishi Singapore directly after I read about the recall, and according to them, based on my VIN, my EC is apparently not affected by the recall, even though I do experience the FCM false warning sometimes. Also, during my 1000km servicing, a software update was applied, and ECU diagnostics ran, but it doesn't seem to improve the FCM false warning frequency.

Is it possible to request for a permanent disability of the FCM since it has a lot of issues as well as possessed potential rear collision danger? Defuse the FCM fuse maybe?

Errr wont that void the warranty

 

Also it can be turn off but every time you start the car you need it switch it off again but it suppose to work and something we paid for (considering the high price of EC) .

 

Also how do you all check the latest software is loaded into the car? 

 

Also a rant why don newer cars have a setting to off the car light when we feel like it, especially when you are trying to park the car and ppl sitting on the void deck/in front of you can see a few stares once in a while.

Oh in case you din know you need to unplug the camera from the connector/cable, then turn it (there should be an arrow) then pull it out even after that i think you need to install the soft ware before being able to view (i tried) and notice it wont read and too troublesome for me to install the software on my company laptop. Yeah troublesome, pretty disappointed considering its from Korea given the choice better to get 100-200 off the car and get a 3rd party camera installed.

IIRC, the Android app has the option to save the video files onto the device file system.

It's a notification letter to inform you that they are recalling your vehicle to reset the ecu for the FCM problem.

Ok. Thx bro! But read frm above posts it's not that effective anyway in addressing the sudden brake issue. I default off the FCM now..

How do you do it? Off it every time you start the engine?

Random question, any one plan to install power tailgate or have installed power tailgate to the EC?

Think it is possible, but is one available, that is compatible with the existing hydraulic level?
