Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY CAR ON AUGUST 10. 2005, AT APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES. ON NOVEMBER 8, 2005 I WAS DRIVING ON I-285. I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES, BUT MY CAR FAILED TO STOP, AND SKIDDED FOR UP TO A MINUTE. ON NOVEMBER 11, 2005, I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP. IT WAS STATED THAT MY BACK BRAKES, WERE NOT WORKING AND NEEDED ADJUSTING, CAUSING THE FRONT BRAKES TO HAVE TO DO ALL THE WORK. THIS IS TURN CAUSED THE FRONT ROTORS TO OVERHEAT AND BECOME WARPED. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS, AND ADJUSTED THE BACK. ONE WEEK LATER ON NOVEMBER 18, 2005, I WAS DRIVING ON DONALD LEE HOLLOWELL PARKWAY, WHEN A DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES. I IN TURN PUT ON MINE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND SKIDDED INTO THE BACK OF HER CAR, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *NM
