Brake Disc problems of the 2001 Mitsubishi Galant

I have replaced the pads and turned the rotors on a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant DE to correct the problem with the car shimmying and poor braking ability. This corrected the problem for only 5,000 miles. I can see that I am going to have to replace or turn the rotors again and possibly replace the brakes. I have a friend who is having the exact same problem with his 2001 Mitsubishi Galant ES. I have also talked to other owners who are experiencing the exact same problem. After I ahve found this web site I will refer them to write a complaint. This has been very frustraiting because there does not seem to be a resolution and the car is recently out of the warranty at only 36,000 miles. I would like to know if there are other people who are experiencing the same problems and if they have found a resolution ?.

Consumer had front/rear brakes and rotors replaced three different timesdue to excessive wear after 1,200 miles.

When the brakes are applied at any speed a violent vibration can be felt in steering wheel, dealer has been contacted, but cannot locate source of problem. Please provide further details.

Car doesn't always come to a complete stop when brakes are applied.

Brake problems since the beginning. Vibration when braking any speed, dealer couldn't locate the problem and pads where fine. Withen a few months I replaced the brake pads and had the rotors turned, I still have the vibration problem. I;ve heard about a factory recall on the brakes but couldn't locate any information with an online search.

The brakes on my car have been giving problems ever since I bought the car. I change the front brakes at the request of the dealers and paid almost $300. The brakes still give problem, they brake very slowly, forever squeeking and give off a dark fibre to the rim of the car.
