Problems with 1999 Mitsubishi Galant SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Vehicle pulsated/ vibrated when applying brakes. vehicle has been in dealer shop on seven occasions, but problem is still unresolved. please provide any further details. *ak

Vehicle experiencing on-going problem with brake system; whenever brake are applyed the causes the vehicle to vibrate. vehicle been repairs and inspected on four occasion and condition still unresolved. can nhtsa help in this matter.

Since purchase of car in january 1999 i have had 5 repairs done due to vibration upon braking. each time i was told the rotors were warped. after 12,000 miles mitsubishi refused to cover the repairs, even though this had been a continuing problem since the purchase of the car. *ak

Brakes vibrate when stopping. usually occurs when stopping from a higher speed ie. 55mph. vehicle has been in shop 4 times and every time the dealer states the problem is with the front and rear rotors. dealer has resurfaced front rotors 2 times and replaced one time and resurfaced rear rotors. *ak

Front brake rotors needed to be replaced three times in two years because brake padding had been changed. please provide any additional information/attachments. *ak

When driving at any speed and applying brakes, brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. also, brakes are soft, and are working intermittently. *ak

Is been four times that this car had problems with the brakes,two of those they change brakes pats sets failed. *ak

At braking, the steering starts to shake. at times i have gone through a red light because the car would not stop, you apply the brake but there is just nothing there, other times because of the shaking , it feels like the car is going to come apart i have taken the car to the dealer for the same problem 4 different times. each time they surface the rotors, and change the pads. but after 2 or 3 days the problem continues. the excuses that i get form the dealer varies from that there is too much heat in florida or that i drive through puddles or even one time they had the odasity of telling me that nor i or my wife knew how to drive and that we were destroying the brakes. in june of 2000 i saw the sal;esperson that sold me the car and he confessed to me that the galant has this problem but that not even the manufacture knows what it is. *ak

Both airbags failed to deploy, extensive front end damage on 07/06/00. problem # 2 front disc brakes have always made a grinding noise and front end has a vibration. car was taken back to dealer a couple of months after purchase, front brake shoes were replaced and rotors turned(not covered by warranty). this failed to fix problem, i have since learned to live with it(can't afford to have it fixed). note: i believe you may have a recall on my third problem with this vehicle, although i have not received a recall notice from the manufacturer, my car loses power to my accessories(radio, air conditioning,etc.).

The rotors experienced failure causing noise. however, two months later replacements were done to the brakes and rotors due to failure. problem still exist. *yc

Tires are shaking due to lugs:nuts being too loose. also, rear of vehicle is too low/ brakes have been repaired five times, and the odometer isn't working. *ak

When driving at any speed and applying the brakes there is a grinding noise, and the brakes are rubbing and the steering wheel vibrates and jumps from left to right at any speed. *ak

Vehicle vibrates when brakes applied. took to dealer first time complaining about vibration in dec 1999, less than 6 months after getting vehicle; second time, in march 1999 (rotors found warped, front rotors and pads resurfaced); third time apr 1999 (rotors warped again, front rotors and rear drums resurfaced); forth time jun 1999 (rotors warped again, front left & right rotors replaced this time); fifth time, front rotors turned. electrical problem in oct 1999, all of a sudden no radio, wipers, cigarrette lighter, horn. no problem found by dealer. now vehicle vibrates even without applying brakes, when reaching 55 mph. several calls to mitsubishi customer service have been "cordially" unhelpful, have not had dealer contact us about problem as they promised in october 1999, over a month ago. no longer have any confidence in this vehicle. *ak

Abs locked up and could not stop the vehicle resulting in accident. yh

When driving at any speed and applying brakes vehicle is pulling to the left or right. also, and there is some knocking noise coming from the vehicle. *ak

Automobile pulls to the right side while braking. grinding noise is heard while braking. automobile was taken to savannah mitsubishi on 10-26-98 for repairs. no problems found. i was told that grinding noise is common is abs. on 12-15-98, while suddenly braking to prevent from hitting another automobile, automobile pulled to the right side causing me to hit the curb. impact with curb caused right front tire to blow. a towing service was called to remove wheel. mechanic stated that rust had settled between wheel and axle which made it difficult to remove wheel. since the incident, automobile continues to pull while braking also vibration and grinding noise. prior to incident, on 11-14-98, manufacturer was notified of the problems with vehicle. a representative telephoned on 12-9-98 informing me to continue to take the automobile in for repairs. consumer affairs advised me to make a final attempt to repair with the manufacturer which was done on 12-14-98. they have not yet to respond. manufacturer was also made aware of the incident. no response. per ga lemon law, i have followed all guidelines establishing reasonable number of repair attempts, requesting final attempt to repair and requesting repurchase of automobile. this automobile has proven to be unsafe.( dot number: obv9 tire size: p195/60r15 )
