On July 1, 2003, we purchased a used 2000 mistibushi Galant from colonial mitibushi in danbury, conn. On July 2, we reported to them the brakes did not feel right. It was slipping. They rub it off and told us before we purchase the car, the car went through a great inspection and nothing was wrong. July 4, my husband was on his way to work when he realized that the brakes would not stop the car on the highway. He finally coasted until he was able to exit the highway and used the shift panel to stop the car. While this was going on there was a skaping noise coming from the front passenger side of the car. The following day, we reported the incident to colonial mist. (dave) and this repaired the brakes, kept the car for about 4 days and returned it back to us saying it was perfect. On July 27, I called the service facility for colonial and reported again the brakes were slipping and I was unable to stop at certain time. The lady told me the closet appointment would be Friday, July 8 I guess because I wasn't one of there favorite customer. I said to her I am talking about the brakes not the windshield or door, but the safety of my children and I. She said no manager was available and that the closest day available. On Friday evening, August 1- I had no choice but to use the car to drive my son to work about 6 miles. All along, I noticed when I press the brakes it would slid a little bit when it was time to come to stop. But, at this particular point I press the brakes and it kept slidding,and slidding anfd won't stop until I hit the car in front of me. Which was standing still. We reported the problem to our insurance company, and also to colonial mistibushi who is willing to take the car back now, but without refund but exchange. What other recourse can we persude in reference to this issue considering it's a used car?.
