Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Constant pulsating of brakes when applying them. took car to the dealership the 1st time and had the rotors replaced. mitsubishi paid for 1/2 of the cost and i paid the rest. this was in 1998. the first time that i have the rotors replaced, the vibrating of the brake pedal came back within 2 weeks. since then, i have replaced and/or turned down my rotors on my front wheels over 7 times. i do not ride my brakes either. i've had my rotors replaced by numerous garages. the rotors improved twice due to the recall of ball joints. when i had my car in the dealership for this recall and i drove the car home, the brake pedal did not pulsate for about 3 to 4 weeks after the recall was made good. i have spent so much money on having the rotors replaced. it's gotten to the point where i cannot keep spending hundreds of dollars on rotors. i just deal with the vibrating brakes at this times. *ak
