Consumer states that the vehicle has a brake problem due to problems from the rear brake on the back wheels, brakes began making a dragging noise, front brakes were replaced in Aug 2001 at 21000 miles, the dragging noise came back in March 2002, dealer stated new pads were needed, dealer stated calipers were bad due to noticing brake fluid residue on the brake caliper around the caliper rubber seal.

While traveling on highway and applying brakes, there was a loud grinding noise coming from wheel. Dealership was aware of problem. Consumer found that the problem was with the brakes/rotors, and tires. Two weeks later the back springs on tires had been replaced. Also the battery had gone dead, and the brakes still squeak.

My Mitsubishi Galant has had two brake jobs one on 11/14/00 at 12366 miles then the next on 3/02/00 front and rear brakes I now feel I have very little brakes at this date 5/20/01 with the miles AT19913 it has only been 3500 miles since the brakes were done Mitsubishi cant explain to me why my brakes wont last. My car has alot of noise coming from the front end and has had this noise since I purchased the car I have drove other Galants and none have this noise I have told the dealer about the noise but they have no answers for me I have never heard of a car that goes for brakes so much.
