Steering wheel vibrates violently at high speeds, especially when the brakes are being applied, consumer took vehicle to dealership and they resurfaced the rotors, however upon driving onto the highway, consumer discovered the problem still existed, vehicle was taken back to dealership and the defective part was replaced and vehicle ran ok, however the problem has reoccured.

Automobile pulls to the right side while braking. Grinding noise is heard while braking. Automobile was taken to savannah Mitsubishi on 10-26-98 for repairs. No problems found. I was told that grinding noise is common is ABS. On 12-15-98, while suddenly braking to prevent from hitting another automobile, automobile pulled to the right side causing me to hit the curb. Impact with curb caused right front tire to blow. A towing service was called to remove wheel. Mechanic stated that rust had settled between wheel and axle which made it difficult to remove wheel. Since the incident, automobile continues to pull while braking also vibration and grinding noise. Prior to incident, on 11-14-98, manufacturer was notified of the problems with vehicle. A representative telephoned on 12-9-98 informing me to continue to take the automobile in for repairs. Consumer Affairs advised me to make a final attempt to repair with the manufacturer which was done on 12-14-98. They have not yet to respond. Manufacturer was also made aware of the incident. No response. Per ga lemon law, I have followed all guidelines establishing reasonable number of repair attempts, requesting final attempt to repair and requesting repurchase of automobile. This automobile has proven to be unsafe.( dot number: Obv9 tire size: P195/60R15 )
