While traveling on highway and applying brakes, there was a loud grinding noise coming from wheel. Dealership was aware of problem. Consumer found that the problem was with the brakes/rotors, and tires. Two weeks later the back springs on tires had been replaced. Also the battery had gone dead, and the brakes still squeak.

I owned a 1995 Galant before I purchased my 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and I must say, Mitsubishi is the worst brand of cars ever assembled. I had so many problems with my 1995 Galant that I was forced to get rid of it after only one year and could not sell or trade the car to save my life. The only people that would deal with me were Mitsubishi again so I was forced to buy another Mitsubishi. My car is only 2 years old and I am having problems. I bought this car brand new and the battery is dead. I called the mits. Dealer were I bought the car and they said my warranty did not cover the battery, and I called the dealership down the street from me and they said mits. Has a 50/50 deal and I would have to pay $40 dollars for a new battery. I would sell this car today if I could but kelly blue book.com tells me the car is worth less than I owe. If there is any way you can help me I would realy appreciate it.
