AT 41,500 MILES I HAD A BASIC FRONT BRAKE JOB PERFORMED ON MY CAR DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SEVERELY WHILE BRAKING. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER I HAD THE ROTORS RESURFACED DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SEVERELY WHILE BRAKING. APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AFTER THAT I HAD THE ROTORS RESURFACED AGAIN DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SEVERELY WHILE BRAKING. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT SINCE IT IS NOT A "SAFETY ISSUE". IT IS. HOW CAN MITSUBISHI SAY THIS ISN'T A "SAFETY ISSUE"? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SO THAT LIVES DON'T HAVE TO BE LOST?

I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND HAD BROUGHT THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO SEE IF IT WAS THE BRAKES BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS AT FIRST. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE PROPERLY AFTER I HAD STOPPED AT A SIGNAL LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN, IT HAD FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WERE STILL ON WHEN I PUSHED MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, YET THE CAR WOULD STAND STILL. ANOTHER TIME WHEN WE WERE SLOWING FOR A CORNER AT AROUND 5MPH, THE CAR HAD JERKED BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I HAD GAVE IT GAS AND IT WORKED OUT FINE. SOME DAYS THE CAR WAS FINE AND OTHER DAYS THE CAR WOULD ACT UP. SO, WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS BUT DIDN'T SAY AS TO WHAT. THEY ASKED FOR THE MAINTENACE RECORDS TO SEE IF THE CAR WAS PROPERLY MAITAINED AND RELATED THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS,LABOR,ESTIMATE,ECT WHILE THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE 60 THOUSAND MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. WE DID HAVE THE CAR SERVICE AT A JIFFY LUBE NEAR US RATHER THAN GO 35 MILES SOUTH FROM HERE TO DO THE SAME. SO FAR I FEEL THAT I'M BEING TAKEN FOR A RIDE.

WE HAVE BEEN LEASING THE VEHICLE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF GRINDING OF BRAKES, AND THREE TIMES THEY HAVE REPLACED THEM. THE LAST TIME THE BRAKES WORE OUT COMPLETLY, AND ONLY HAD THEM FIX THREE MONTHS PRIOR T THAT. WE FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OUR LIVES AND OTHERS AND AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THREE MONTHS BRINGING IT BACK FOR BRAKES ONLY 11500 MILES ON THEM, SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE.
