Problems with the front end of a brand new 2006 mitsubishi fuso fe-145. This could be a safety hazard as front end of vehicle grabs - slides - skips sideways after stopping and then starting out while turning. This occurs after extended periods of highway driving. mine started prior to 2000 miles and has gotten worse. mechanics have checked the front end but have never experienced the great degree of the problem - as time - long periods of highway driving seems to manifest the problem. They say it's the tires. no way IS this problem just the tires ! If it IS, the tires are no good and should be replaced by the manufacturer. I have been told by a mitsubishi dealer that the treads on the tires are too "agressive a tread" for a steering tire. But, really, this problem IS much, much more than could ever be caused by any tire. Something else IS wrong. But no one will take the time or make the effort to tell me what it really IS. as mentioned, mechanics have felt only slight symptoms of the problems - it gets very, very bad at times. *jb

This investigation was opened based on odi's receipt ofewr information pertaining to collapsing brake vacuum hoses on the subject vehicles.the vehicles of concern are medium duty trucks, model years 2006 - 2007,models fe84d, fe85d and fg84d.odi met with mitsubishi officials and drove a truck with the collapsed hose.it was determined that the vacuum brake booster hose can flatten or collapse while the truck IS being driven, resulting indegradation (reduced vacuum) of the brake power-assist system. The reduction in available engine vacuum to the brake booster requires the driver to apply increased brake pedal pressure to achieve the expected stopping distance. During the investigation, odi learned that the brake vacuum hose was manufactured with insufficient wall thickness, allowing the hose to collapse during normal vehicle operation. During the recall mitsubishi will replace all vacuum brake booster hoses on the applicable trucks.this investigation IS closed.
