1998 MITSUBISHI GALANT Complaints

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A LOUD SQUEELING NOISE & AROUND 30 - 40 MPH (ON DECELERATION) STEERING WHEEL SHAKES; THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE "FOUND" TO BE THE PROBLEM BUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE MECHANICS, THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHAKING STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED

LIGHTS DIM FREQUENTLY AT NIGHT TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST. ALSO TIRES SQUEEL UNUSUALY LOUD WHEN TAKING TURNS AT NORMAL SPEEDS. BRAKES SHAKE WHEN APPLIED. STRONGLY CONSIDERING TRADING IN FOR OTHER BRAND OF CAR. WILL NEVER BY MITSUBISHI EVER AGAIN!

WE HAVE BEEN LEASING THE VEHICLE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF GRINDING OF BRAKES, AND THREE TIMES THEY HAVE REPLACED THEM. THE LAST TIME THE BRAKES WORE OUT COMPLETLY, AND ONLY HAD THEM FIX THREE MONTHS PRIOR T THAT. WE FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OUR LIVES AND OTHERS AND AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THREE MONTHS BRINGING IT BACK FOR BRAKES ONLY 11500 MILES ON THEM, SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM. CAUSE UNKNOWN. INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO DIM. *AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE OBLONG/MISSHAPED. THIS CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE. HAD HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE. THE ROTORS WOULD BE REPLACED EACH TIME & THE PROBLEM WOULD REAPPEAR AGAIN. *AK

POWER STEERING FLUID AND WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID EMPTY DUE TO LEAKAGE IN BOTH RESERVOIRS.

VEHICLE'S KEYS CAN BE REMOVED IN EVERY GEAR EXCEPT PARK, CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLL INTO OTHER VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE WOULD GRAB AND RELEASE, GRAB AND RELEASE. THERE WAS ALSO A GRINDING NOISE. DRIVER USED EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE. THE ROTORS AND BRAKES PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY DEALER.
