2001 MITSUBISHI GALANT Complaints

BRAKE PROBLEMS SINCE THE BEGINNING. VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING ANY SPEED, DEALER COULDN'T LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND PADS WHERE FINE. WITHEN A FEW MONTHS I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED, I STILL HAVE THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. I;VE HEARD ABOUT A FACTORY RECALL ON THE BRAKES BUT COULDN'T LOCATE ANY INFORMATION WITH AN ONLINE SEARCH.*AK

AFTER BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED RACING ON ITS OWN I APPLIED BRAKES BUT IT JUST WOULDN'T STOP ENDED UP HITTING 2 OTHER VEHICLES.*AK

THERE WERE NO DUAL AIRBAGS INSIDE OF VEHICLE WHEN HE PURCHASED IT. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THERE WAS A VIBRATION AND BRAKE PULSATION. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE INSPECTED AND WERE FOUND WARPED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION IN WHICH THE PROBLEM REMAINED. THE TIRES WERE CHANGED 11 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE VIBRATION REMAINED AND WAS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OR ON BENDS AND REMAINED THROUGHOUT THE RANGE OF DRIVING SPEEDS. THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE PROBLEM PER CONRAD'S(SERVICE DEALER). THERE ALSO WERE DANGEROUS FUMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, THE FUEL GAUGE HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE, AND THERE WAS PREMATURE RUSTING IN THE SEAMS OF THE ENGINE. *SCC

THE BRAKES ON MY CAR HAVE BEEN GIVING PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I CHANGE THE FRONT BRAKES AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEALERS AND PAID ALMOST $300. THE BRAKES STILL GIVE PROBLEM, THEY BRAKE VERY SLOWLY, FOREVER SQUEEKING AND GIVE OFF A DARK FIBRE TO THE RIM OF THE CAR.*AK
