While applying the brakes they would pulsate and pull to the right. Dealer stated rotors needed to be replaced.
- Flecter, NC, USA
Rotors keep warping, had replaced them twice.
- Moreno, CA, USA
Front rotors require resurfacing approx. Every 7,000 miles. Front brakes also lose stopping efficiency when rotors are warped. This appears to be a safety related design defect justifying a recall.
- Manalapan, NJ, USA
Vehicle vibrates when brakes applied. Took to dealer first time complaining about vibration in Dec 1999, less than 6 months after getting vehicle; second time, in March 1999 (rotors found warped, front rotors and pads resurfaced); third time Apr 1999 (rotors warped again, front rotors and rear drums resurfaced); forth time Jun 1999 (rotors warped again, front left & right rotors replaced this time); fifth time, front rotors turned. Electrical problem in Oct 1999, all of a sudden no radio, wipers, cigarrette lighter, horn. No problem found by dealer. Now vehicle vibrates even without applying brakes, when reaching 55 mph. Several calls to Mitsubishi customer service have been "cordially" unhelpful, have not had dealer contact us about problem as they promised in October 1999, over a month ago. No longer have any confidence in this vehicle.

Brakes vibrate when stopping. Usually occurs when stopping from a higher speed ie. 55mph. Vehicle has been in shop 4 times and every time the dealer states the problem is with the front and rear rotors. Dealer has resurfaced front rotors 2 times and replaced one time and resurfaced rear rotors.
- Mahwah, NJ, USA
The rotors experienced failure causing noise. However, two months later replacements were done to the brakes and rotors due to failure. Problem still exist.
- Naugtuck, CT, USA
Vehicle been experiencing on-going problem with brake pedal feeling spongy and vehicle vibrating when brake pedal is applied. Also, causing intermittent delay in stopping distance. This condition almost caused several vehicle accidents. Vehicle been in / out of dealer shop on three occasions, and had rotors replaced, problems still occurring.
