Four problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1998 Mitsubishi Galant. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The front brake system was replaced, after replacement front brakes required replacement a second time which was causing grinding noises, 2 repairs within 17000 miles seems excessive.
We have been leasing the vehicle and brought the vehicle in four times because of grinding of brakes, and three times they have replaced them. The last time the brakes wore out completly, and only had them fix three months prior t that. We feel that it is a safety hazard to our lives and others and afraid to drive because it seems that three months bringing it back for brakes only 11500 miles on them, something is wrong somewhere.
While driving the vehicle and applying the brakes, the brake would grab and release, grab and release. There was also a grinding noise. Driver used emergency brakes to stop vehicle. The rotors and brakes pads have been replaced by dealer.
Brakes pads and rotors are prematurly wearing out, casuing consumer to rplace the brake system 4 times.
