Brakes & rotors constantly have to be replaced. Car was in an accident 3 times hit from the front and airbags never deployed. Engine has stalled on several occasions. Problem with horn fuse. High beams stopped working. When accelerating, sounds like engine is having problems getting gas. Doesn't accelerated to well at all sometimes.

I have replaced the pads and turned the rotors on a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant de to correct the problem with the car shimmying and poor braking ability. This corrected the problem for only 5,000 miles. I can see that I am going to have to replace or turn the rotors again and possibly replace the brakes. I have a friend who is having the exact same problem with his 2001 Mitsubishi Galant ES. I have also talked to other owners who are experiencing the exact same problem. After I ahve found this web site I will refer them to write a complaint. This has been very frustraiting because there does not seem to be a resolution and the car is recently out of the warranty at only 36,000 miles. I would like to know if there are other people who are experiencing the same problems and if they have found a resolution ?

Complaint: Repeated problems with front brakes. Rotors have needed to be resurfaced several times and now are unable to be resurfaced again and need to be replaced. Continuous vibration of brake pedal and in steering wheel while braking. At times, entire car feels like it is shaking (passengers notice the vibrations through their feet on the floorboard). Was involved in an accident in November of 2002 where I felt that if the brakes were operating as they should be, I would have been able to stop in time. Dealer has not been contacted, although judging by the sheer number of complaints, I'm sure they are aware of the braking issues with the Galant. Please provide me with more information. I would love to get out of this vehicle without owing my first-born, as my first-born is due in November and I no longer feel comfortable driving this vehicle with the thought of an infant as a passenger.

Front brake rotors become warped every 5,000 to 8,000...this is the third set of rotors I have gone through since 2002. There is heavy vibration in the steering wheel when braking. I constantly have to keep having the rotors cut. Mitsubishi said this is "normal".

Consumer had front/rear brakes and rotors replaced three different timesdue to excessive wear after 1,200 miles.

- Baltimore, MD, USA

Consumer noticed after depressing the brakes a grinding noise coming from front and rear of vehicle. Technician replaced rotors and pads.

- Wilmington, DE, USA

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.
