BRAKE PARTS Complaints

MY 2001 MITSUBISHI MONTERO (FULL SIZE XLS) IS MAKING LOUD SOUNDS WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES BOOSTER ACCUMULATOR. WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL VERY NEW THIS RECALL WAS CONDUCTED AND MY VEHICLE WAS "FIXED" ACCORDING TO DEALER RECORDS. NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND THE DEALER AND MITSUBISHI MOTORS SAY IT IS MY PROBLEM NOW. IF THEIR RECALL DOES NOT WORK THEN THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE, NOT ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR BRAKE FAIL COMPLETELY AND NOT BE ABLE TO STOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. MITSUBISHI SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL THEY GET IT RIGHT, NOT JUST THE FIRST TIME! I WILL NEVER BUY MITSUBISHI AGAIN! THIS CONSISTENT PROBLEM IS PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK. *TR

BRAKE PADS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED WHEN INSPECTING PADS, FRONT EDGE OF ROTORS HAVE COMPLETELY RUSTED. PADS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE THICKNESS WISE IN SOME AREAS AND ROTTED IN OTHER AREAS. PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED NOW 5 MONTHS LATER IT'S STARTING AGAIN. PARKING BRAKE PADS DELAMINATED AGAIN. ABS LIGHT CAME ON DURING TRIP FOR NO REASON? *TR

I BOUGHT A USED CAR FROM JD BYRIDER OF READING PA ,I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS SAFETY INSPECTED AND THE STICKERS ARE ON VEHICLE, COME TO FIND OUT FROM MY OWN MECHANIC THE CAR WAS NOT SAFETY INSPECTED PROPER BECAUSE THERE WAS ALOT OF THINGS FOUND DEFECTIVE ON IT LIKE ROTORS WERE WARPED BRAKE PAD FELL APART DRUMS NO GOOD BROKEN BOLTS TO OIL PAN AND REAR MAIN SEAL BROKE CAR VIBRATES WHEN AT A RIGHT LIGHT AND WHO EVER DID THE INSPECTION DIDN'T DO IT THE WAY HE WAS SUPPOSED TO WHICH I THINK WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

BRAKE JUDDER : IN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS MY PERSONAL FAMILY MECHANIC FINALLY FOUND WHAT I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT FOR 6 MONTHS TO HONDA. A WIGGLE A SHAKE OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT GET THIS FIX FREE....VIN#THAT START WITH 1HG OR 3HG ARE ELIGIBLE FOR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT AND TURNED ROTORS FREE. HONDA KNOWS BUT REFUSE TO GIVE THE INFORMATION OUT I HAD TO GET A COPY OF THE REPORT AND TAKE IT TO THEM BEFORE THEY FIXED FOR FREE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. *TR

MY ROTORS IN MY '06 WRANGLER WENT BAD AT 9500 MILES, SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN STOPPING. THEY WERE REPLACED, BUT NOW AT 20K THE SAME THING IS OCCURRING! I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WILL TURN THEM FOR FREE BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THEM AGAIN. THEY NEVER REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PADS EITHER. I AM VERY UPSET TO SEE SUCH A TREND OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE ROTORS AND THE COMPANY STILL CONTINUES TO USE CHEAP, DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE MECHANIC THE FIRST TIME TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE ONCE YOU BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THINGS REPLACED SO FAR, AND THESE WERE UNDER 10KMILES; STEERING STABILIZER/ROTORS/SLAVE CYLINDER IN CLUTCH($700 JOB)/NOT DELIVERED WITH TINTED REAR WINDOWS/HESITATION AND STALLING AT A RED LIGHTS/STRAP BROKE OFF RIVET IN SOFT TOP. CLUTCH STILL MAKING THE NOISE THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS SLAVE CYLINDER (ITS THE THROTTLE BEARING DA!!!) *TR

HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKE ROTOR ON 2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH HEMI. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED APPRO 2 MONTHS AGO AND NEED REPLACE AGAIN. THIS A POLICE PACKAGE VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT HAS OR IS GOING TO REPLACE ROTORS ON THERE VEHICLE. *TR

FIRST AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED THE BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAL. THEN AROUND 30,000 MILES WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT SPEED AROUND 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. LATER FOLLOWED BY EXTREME MOTION IN THE WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND EVENTUALLY THE BRAKES BEGAN TO CEASE DURING ACCELERATION. HAD THE ROTOR RESURFACED AND NEW PADS. 8,000 MILES LATER STEERING WHEEL DOING THE SAME THING AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID MY TIRES WERE BAD AND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE AS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED BEFORE ENDING UP WITH A BILL AROUND $1,000. SO NOW I AM WAITING FOR THE BREAKS TO GET SO BAD THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY SERVICE THE PROBLEM. I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH THIS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT COURSE OF ACTION TO TAKE. *TR

I HAVE A WORKHORSE CHASSIS WITH A BRAKE PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE ACTION # PEO732. I NOTICED DURING A TRIP TO FLORIDA IN APRIL THAT THE BRAKES SMELLED HOT AT THE REAR OF MOTORHOME DURING REFUELING. DURING MY TRIP TO SALT LAKE CITY AUGUST 1ST, 2007. MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND NOT COME BACK UP OR RELEASE THE BRAKES, I USED MY TOES TO BRING PEDAL BACK UP. IN UTAH I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CENTER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM, THEY DETERMINED IT TO BE A BAD BOOSTER PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND PEDAL WOULD COME BACK UP AND RELEASE THE BRAKES, BUT STILL HAD A SOFT PEDAL. WHEN I GOT HOME (ARLINGTON TEXAS) BRAKES WERE NOT RELEASING PROPERLY. I CALLED WORKHORSE AND THEY TOLD ME WHERE TO TAKE THE MOTOR HOME FOR SERVICE. MOTOR HOME HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 30 DAYS, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING GEAR BOX, AND THE BOOSTER PUMP AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THE MOTOR HOME WAS READY, NOTHING UNDER WARRANTY, I PAID THEM $4,558.85. WHEN I GOT IN THE MOTOR HOME THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, ALSO WOULD NOT START, WHICH WAS PROBABLY THE PEDAL NOT COMMING BACK UP AND LEAVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON. TECHNICIANS ARE BLEEDING THE BRAKES AND CHECKING IT OUT AGAIN. SEEMS WORKHORSE IS NO HELP IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW OUT THE $4,558.85 AT SOUTHWESET INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS HERE IN ARLINGTON TEXAS PLUS $1,089.25 FOR WORK ON BRAKES IN UTAH. AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A DRIVABLE MOTOR HOME. *TR
