My 2002 Mitsubishi Montero has the weird sound coming from the brakes. I saw in my garage a grinish liquid. I took it to the garage, but they can't seem to find the source. I was told to take it to the Manufacturer!! How much will this cost me???

Do you drive a 2002 MITSUBISHI MONTERO?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
