NHTSA Complaint #10240000 — 2005 MITSUBISHI GALANT

THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2005 GALANTS BUT I WAS TOLD NOT MINE. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES AS THE RECALL STATES. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THE FIRST TIME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE SECOND TIME THEY ORDERED A TIMING PART BUT I FEEL THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I GO TOMORROW TO HAVE THE PART PUT ON. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WITH THESE MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES. THEY MAKE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND MY CAR LURCHES FORWARD ABOUT 4 INCHES AND IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. I ASKED JUST BECAUSE MY CAR ISN'T IN THE RECALL IT DOESN'T MEAN I AM NOT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW LONG DO I NEED TO RIDE AROUND IN A CAR WITH DAMAGED BRAKES BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET AND WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED SO I DON'T END UP IN ONE. *TR
