Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Rotors and brakes have been a problem since i bought this car new. rotors have to be resurfaced every 6 months, and new brakes. there has been no charge except for brakes. now dealership tells me i have to pay for new brakes and rotors for this chronic problem. mitsubishi motors admits that this is an engineering problem, but there is nothing they can do. dealership says to put the blame on mitsubishi motors. i am scared to drive this car due to brakes possibly failing. thank you. *ak
