SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
WE TOOK DELIVERY OF OUR CAR ON 2/25/99. IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT ON 5/12/99 WITH BAD VIRBRATION IN THE STEERING UPON BRAKING. THEY SAID THE ROTORS AND BUSHINGS WERE BAD AND REPLACED THEM. 2 MOS LATER, BACK AGAIN WITH SAME PROBLEM. SAME THING DONE AGAIN TO FIX. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK 5 TIMES FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. THE PROBLEM KEEPS RETURNING AFTER ABOUT 2000 MILES EACH TIME, THEY REPLACE THE SAME THING. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AND THE DEALER PETE MOORE, NO RESPONSE. I AM AFRAID THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET WHERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE TAKEN THEIR CARS IN AND THE EXACT SAME REPAIRS ARE DONE OVER AND OVER. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. SOMETHING THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SOME OF THESE CARS. THEY CAN'T FIX IT FOR GOOD. THE PROBLEM CREEPS BACK WITHIN A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES. NOW I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE, I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM AFRAID TO TRAVEL. I AM AFRAID THE WHAT IF WHAT EVER IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT THEY CANNOT FIND, WHAT IF IT BREAKS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN. WILL I BE ABLE TO STOP, TO STEER? WILL I LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR? SOMETHING IS BAD WRONG HERE. I FEEL THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT. THANK YOU.*AK
