SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THREE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY MITSUBISHI GALANT I HEARD A LOUD SCREACHING NOISE IT SOUNED LIKE METAL GRINDING AGAINST METAL, AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARDER THAN USUAL FOR THE CAR TO STOP. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. ANOTHER THREE MONTHS PASSED AND I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, IT STARTED TO BECOME A TREND, ALMOST EVERY 3,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE MY ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP EVERTIME I DRIVE THIS CAR. I WONDER IF THIS IS THE DAY MY BRAKES WILL FAIL COMPLETLY. THE SCARIEST MOMENT I HAD DRIVING THIS CAR AND I THOUGHT THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP WAS ON MARCH 3 1997. I WAS COMING FROM THE DEALER AFTER GETTING MY BRAKES FIXED TRAVELING DOWN ROOSEVELT BLVD, AND WHEN I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND I DREW MY BRAKES I SMELLED SMOKE AND NOTICED IT COME FROM MY FRONT TIRES AND I ALSO RELIZED IT WAS TAKEN MY CAR AWHILE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I HAS TO PUSH THE BRAKES A THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR THE CAR TO STOP. I WAS FRIGHTENED I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS GOING TO GO RIGHT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT. I TRAVELED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME GOING ABOUT 35 MPH INSTEAD OF 50 MPH AND EVEN AT THE SLOWER SPEED, IT WAS STILL DIFFICULT TO STOP. WHEN I FINALLY GOT HOME I CALLED THE DEALER TO COME TOW THE CAR BACK. THIS IS THE UNSAFEST CAR I EVER DROVE I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO MY WORST ENEMY. EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO DRIVE AND TO GET IN THE CAR, I'M VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT HAVING A CHILD RIDING IN THIS CAR, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO JEOPARDIZE A CHILD'S LIFE. I'VE HAD FOUR CARS ALL FOR OVER 5YRS AND ONLY HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES ONCE NO CAR, ESPECIALLY A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE THEIR BRAKES REPLACED ELEVEN TIMES TO PUT IS NICELY THAT'S JUST RIDICULOS. I'VE COMPLAINED MANY TIME TO THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY HAVE IGNORED MY COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A CAR THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED A.S.A.P BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, AND WHAT IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE FOR THEM TO RECALL THIS PIECE OF JUNK. *AK
