Consumer Description

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 ?*AK
