We took delivery of our car on 2/25/99. It was taken into the dealer service dept on 5/12/99 with bad virbration in the steering upon braking. They said the rotors and bushings were bad and replaced them. 2 mos later, back again with same problem. Same thing done again to fix. We have taken the car back 5 times for the exact same thing. The problem keeps returning after about 2000 miles each time, they replace the same thing. I have contacted Mitsubishi and the dealer pete moore, no response. I am afraid there is something very wrong with this car. I have found on the internet where many other people are having the same exact problem and they also have taken their cars in and the exact same repairs are done over and over. Something is wrong here. Something that could be very dangerous. No one wants to do anything about it. I believe there is a defect in the manufacture of some of these cars. They can't fix it for good. The problem creeps back within a couple thousand miles. Now I know I am not the only one out there with this problem. Please, I believe this could be a safety hazard. I am afraid to travel. I am afraid the what if what ever is wrong with this car that they cannot find, what if it breaks. What will happen. Will I be able to stop, to steer" will I lose control of the car" something is bad wrong here. I feel this really needs to be checked out. Thank you.

At braking, the steering starts to shake. At times I have gone through a red light because the car would not stop, you apply the brake but there is just nothing there, other times because of the shaking, it feels like the car is going to come apart I have taken the car to the dealer for the same problem 4 different times. Each time they surface the rotors, and change the pads. But after 2 or 3 days the problem continues. The excuses that I get form the dealer varies from that there is too much heat in Florida or that I drive through puddles or even one time they had the odasity of telling me that nor I or my wife knew how to drive and that we were destroying the brakes. In June of 2000 I saw the sal;esperson that sold me the car and he confessed to me that the Galant has this problem but that not even the manufacture knows what it is.

Both airbags failed to deploy, extensive front end damage on 07/06/00. Problem # 2 front disc brakes have always made a grinding noise and front end has a vibration. Car was taken back to dealer a couple of months after purchase, front brake shoes were replaced and rotors turned(not covered by warranty). This failed to fix problem, I have since learned to live with it(can't afford to have it fixed). Note: I believe you may have a recall on my third problem with this vehicle, although I have not received a recall notice from the manufacturer, my car loses power to my accessories(radio, air conditioning, etc.).
