“Brake failure when you stop the brakes scrub I have receipts showing that the I have to continue to have the brake inspected and also have to slam very hard when trying to stop the car. The noise when you are stopping the car is very loud and contact the manufacturer and was told nothing they can do due to no warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #10215504, filed 2008-01, 27,000 miles“My 2005 Galant has been experiencing brake problems I reported it to Mitsubishi dealer before my warranty expired and they told me there was nothing wrong just a glaze. I finally took it somewhere else to get the brakes done they replaced the pads 2 weeks later the brakes started making noise since then I have taken them back for the same problem over and over again all they tell me, its a glaze but the noise gets louder. The engine also makes a clicking noise that doesn't sound right.”
