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"

When applying brakes, the steering shakes. Brake shoes and rotors are worn out at 19,000 miles (very premature); brake light comes on constantly in vehicle - replace w/ brake fluid, wheels screech when making a slow turn - Mitsubishi was contacted and they are giving a hard time about replacing the brakes w/19,000 miles.

Front brake rotors were oblong/misshaped. This caused the steering wheel to shake. Had happened at least twice before. The rotors would be replaced each time & the problem would reappear again.
