I HAVE A 2002 GALANT, AND AT 30,000MILS, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, AND THE BRAKE PADS. I WAS TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY TERMS. THERE'S SEVERE VIBRATIONS, AND ROTATIONAL NOISE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING AT 60MPH AND ABOVE, AND I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY REPACKED MY BEARINGS, BUT THE NOISE AND VIBRATIONS STILL CONTINUE TO SURFACE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO HELP ME, WHILE THE CARS IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW THE PROBLEMS THEMSELF.*AK

I PURCHASED A 2002 MITSUBISHI GALANT ES FROM DUNPHY MITSUBISHI IN HAVERTOWN, PA FEBRUARY 18, 2002.

AFTER THE SERVICE CENTER SPRAYED MY BRAKES DAYS LATER THEY BEGAN TO SQUEAK AGAIN, I PLACED ANOTHER CALL AND WAS TOLD BY DUNPHY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEIR WILL BE A REMEDY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I WILL RECEIVE A NOTICE SHORTLY.
