As long as I have owned this vehicle, I have had a problem with the whole car shaking when I step on the brakes. I took it back to my dealer in Oct 1999 and they turned the rotars but the problem continued. I just recently had to have it in because the battery failed and had them check out the brakes while I was there and they said I need a complete brake job. I ask the service manager to check to see if they had been done before and he found they had. He said he would turn the rotars again but I was responsible for the brake pads. The brakes were really tight when I got the car back last week, but now they seem to be getting back where they were. This car is only two years old and already had to have the battery replaced and the brakes. I feel the dealer should have changed the brake pads at no cost to me. After reading all the complaints about these cars the majority are about the brakes.

- Phelan, CA, USA

Problems with the vehicle started two days after purchase, they rotated the rotors on the brakes. Since that time I have had the vehicle back seven different occasions. They have replaced the rotors, rotated, you name it and it is still not corrected. I have a three year old daughter that I am scared to death to ride in the car. The dealer has been unresponsive and extremely nasty to us. The owner of the dealer hung up on my wife yesterday. The service manager screamed at me today, and said we have done all we can. They won't return phone calls. I have contacted corporate Mitsubishi and they say they will work on the problem. I just completed the paper work for the lemon laws in Maryland. I need help with making sure no one else buys a lemon from the dealer, and they don't stand behind their cars. Please assist me, in anyway you can. Thank you in advance for your time.
