While traveling on the highway steering will begin to shake and vibrate sometimes hard, sometimes notat all. Consumer has experienced the same problem as recall00v225001, team mitsibishi says that they have this problem listed under recalls.
Steering vibrates when driving vehicle. Then, vehicle will wonder left and right intermittently. Consumer stated that he talked with dealership, and mechanic told him that they couldn't duplicate the problem.
Steering wheel shimmies whenever vehicle reaches 60 MPH or more. Vehicle been has been in / out of dealer shop, and problem still goes unresolved. Feel free to provide further details.
While driving down the street and upon applying brakes, front end shimmied and shook, almost lost control . Contacted dealer, and he replaced the rotors. A month later, the same problem occurred, and dealer replaced tires/bushing, and rotors.
Vehicle shutters severly when braking. Dealer resurfaced the rotors/changed the pads & replaced lower control arm. The higher the speed the more it shuttered. Dealer repaired vehicle on 6-05-2000 because it was spqueaking & pulsating. When vehicle was picked up, it was doing the same thing.
Either when driving or braking the car begins to shake.
When traveling at 65 MPH car tends to pull to the right and left. While driving at about 30mph and slowing down, the car vibrates.
Battery failed in the first year of ownership. Mjs
Tires are shaking due to lugs:nuts being too loose. Also, rear of vehicle is too low/ brakes have been repaired five times, and the odometer isn't working.
Front passenger's seat belts would not retract but half way & then lock up. Would not retract to original position after locking up. Vehicle would also shake when brakes are applied. Vehcle drifts hard to the right at any speed. The tires needed alignment. Had taken vehicle to dealership only once for problems.
Steering wheel shakes when driven over 65 MPH or over.
I noticed a vibration during brake application and at highway speeds. I had the tires rotated, then balanced then front rotors turned, then front rotors replaced, then front wheels re-balanced. I was then told of a "new" service bulliten covering the front end lower swing arm replacement. After working on my vehicle an entire day (following waiting a month to get the part and schedule mx) I was told that the car already has the "new" bushing and they did not know what was wrong with it. Now I hear a "clang" in the front end when decelerating or accelerating and can feel it through the steering wheel. And of course, the front end still vibrates at high way speeds.
When driving at any speed and applying brakes vehicle is pulling to the left or right. Also, and there is some knocking noise coming from the vehicle.
Steering wheel was extremely vibrating, and sometimes it makes consumer lose control. Dealer had told consumer there was a problem with the front suspension.
