| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Brakes vibrate, grind, squeal and fade. mitsubishi says nothing wrong and keeps resurfacing rotors and replacing pads. first brake job was at approx. 850 miles, they said faulty caliper supports were the cause. they squeal from the moment i pick up the car from service and start to grind and pulsate religiously every 5000 miles after brake service. this vehicle has been in the shop for the same problem about seven times and they tell me that the brakes are over heating due to driving habits and local traffic. none of my other vehicles ever had issues like this driving in the same traffic. *jb |
