2 Brake Drum problem of the 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Failure Date: 10/01/1999

I purchased my Mitsubishi Eclipse 2 years ago. I have replaced the pads and rotors on my car a total of 3 times. I returned to the dealership again this month only to find out that I again need to replace my rotors. I have complained to the service manager at my local dealership. They more or less told me that the brakes were an engineering flaw. I have contacted the Mitsubishi corporate office in California. At this time they are unwilling to assist me with this problem.

3 Brake Drum problem of the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The car is shaking every time I use brakes. Been told that I need to have the roters changed. But the car is just one year old. Isn't it premature wear.
