Wheel cylinders failed again. This was the sixth set that this car had been through. They were leaking at time of purchase although I discovered this a week thereafter. The proportional valve had been changed, new brakes all around also. Dealers had no idea why this was happening. Need help to find the cause. Has disabled parent that is on blood thinner, I don't need her bleeding to death if I totally loose the brakes and get into an accident.

Had wheel cylinders replaced -- left rear in 2004 and right rear in Dec 2005. Went for oil change today and asked the mechanic to pull of rear wheels because the brakes didn't feel right to me. Right rear was soaked in brake fluid and left rear had just started to leak. Right rear had also started to seize up due to brake fluid coating the shoes. Wheel cylinders shouldn't fail after only 4 months -- and even 2 years seems like it is a short period of time. Have had other cars and never had this issue. Also, front rotors seem to warp out really fast -- as in once a year. I drive car normal and am not harsh on the brakes.
The rear brake cylinders on the 2003 Mitsubishi Galant are leaking.

When making a normal stop pedal went to the floor and there was no braking ability, causing vehicle to proceed through an intersection. This happened without any type of warning. Vehicle was towed to the dealership, where the master brake cylinder was replaced. Owner was still experiencing problems with the abs.
