2000 Mitsubishi Galant Brakes Problems

“On july 1, 2003, we purchased a used 2000 mistibushi Galant from colonial mitibushi in danbury, conn. On july 2, we reported to them the brakes did not feel right. It was slipping. They rub it off and told us before we purchase the car, the car went through a great inspection and nothing was wrong. July 4, my husband was on his way to work when he realized that the brakes would not stop the car on the highway. He finally coasted until he was able to exit the highway and used the shift panel to stop the car. …”

“Had wheel cylinders replaced -- left rear in 2004 and right rear in dec 2005. Went for oil change today and asked the mechanic to pull of rear wheels because the brakes didn't feel right to me. Right rear was soaked in brake fluid and left rear had just started to leak. Right rear had also started to seize up due to brake fluid coating the shoes. Wheel cylinders shouldn't fail after only 4 months -- and even 2 years seems like it is a short period of time. Have had other cars and never had this issue. Also, front rotors seem to warp out really fast -- as in once a year. …”

“Wheel cylinders failed again. This was the sixth set that this car had been through. They were leaking at time of purchase although I discovered this a week thereafter. The proportional valve had been changed, new brakes all around also. Dealers had no idea why this was happening. Need help to find the cause. Has disabled parent that is on blood thinner, I don't need her bleeding to death if I totally loose the brakes and get into an accident.”

“I have had this car for almost 6 months and I have had work done on my brakes 3 times since I purchased the car. I have already machined/turned the original front disc rotors once and have had to buy a new pair of them as well. The pads/shoes have been replaced 3 times. It makes a squeeking noise from the front brakes when going about 15 MPH. It stopped when I get the brakes serviced but returns after about 2k. It first starts off with trembling when I brake and then the trembling progresses. It stops shaking when the the brakes are serviced but also returns after about 2k. Dt”

“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.”
