Squeaking and abnormal grinding noise from front brakes leading to increased stopping distance, rims get very hot to the touch, increased squealing and grinding esp in city driving, all brakes and rotors were replaced this month along with alignment and new tires. Have had breaks pulled twice since for inspection and cleaning (did not help problem)car is unsafe and no one knows what problem is the cause, I do notice a large build up of black brake dust on both front rims, again these brakes are only a few months old, problem same with previous set of brakes. Car has 60,000 miles and was bought new.

I was traveling on a two lane road in my 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage, it had been raining and the roads were still damp. I was driving below the speed limit because I wanted to attempt to get the highest mpg possible on the mpg calculator on the dash. Suddenly, the truck in front of me slammed on breaks. It was at a distance that I should have not been worried about collision, but as soon as I hit the breaks in response, they failed. Everything happened so fast I don't know if my brakes locked up causing me to slide, or if they just did not activate at all. There were no skid marks on the road. I ended up going into oncoming traffic and hitting another vehicle head on. The impact flipped my Mirage multiple times and I landed sideways in a ditch. All airbags deployed. The driver and passenger of the other vehicle were injured and went to the hospital. I broke a rib and received some bad bruising from airbag and seatbelt, but refused to go to the hospital.

I was in rush hour traffic at a red light. The light turned green. Approx. 100 - 150 yrds beyond the intersection the vehicle 3 cars ahead of me slammed on their brakes. This caused the two vehi les between them and me to slam on their brakes. I hit my clutch and brake to stop, but the brakes never engaged. I never even slowed down. My airbags deployed, I was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and my car was deemed to be a total loss by the insurance company.
