Ten problems related to brake disc rotor have been reported for the 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Constant pulsating of brakes when applying them. Took car to the dealership the 1st time and had the rotors replaced. Mitsubishi paid for 1/2 of the cost and I paid the rest. This was in 1998. The first time that I have the rotors replaced, the vibrating of the brake pedal came back within 2 weeks. Since then, I have replaced and/or turned down my rotors on my front wheels over 7 times. I do not ride my brakes either. I've had my rotors replaced by numerous garages. The rotors improved twice due to the recall of ball joints. When I had my car in the dealership for this recall and I drove the car home, the brake pedal did not pulsate for about 3 to 4 weeks after the recall was made good. I have spent so much money on having the rotors replaced. It's gotten to the point where I cannot keep spending hundreds of dollars on rotors. I just deal with the vibrating brakes at this times.
Consumer has been experiencning problems with the brakes. She has had the vehicle into the dealer for the front brakes and the rotors. Had brakes and rotors replaced in July/ August and in October.
While driving vehicle about 35 mph the comsumer had a brake problem.
