I have a 2006 mitsubishi galant and have had it in the shop repeatedly for the front suspension, brakes, electrical problems and now I'm having transmission problems and lots of engine noise. My front suspension has a squawking sound everytime you go over a speed bump, the whole front end has been rebuilt but it is still doing the same thing. This started at about 8,800 miles and there is now 23,000 and the dealership is telling me there is nothing wrong my brakes have been squeaking since about 8,800 miles also and they have replaced my front pads since there was a tech bulletin placed and yet this has still not fixed the squeaking. My engine idle fluctuates while sitting in drive and my engine has a loud start up sound almost like there is an exhaust leak but there is not. My transmission when first shifted into reverse stutters as I pull out of my driveway and when in drive you can feel the transmission stutter as long as the car is cold. My car also pulls to left within 4 seconds after not holding the steering wheel extremely tight and this started after they replaced the rack-in-pinion. I have a metal rattling sound coming from the front driver's side of the vehicle but when it is taken into the dealership they state that they could not produce the concern. Yet they have heard it before and had to replace all the springs and pins in the brakes. My tires have worn down dramatically on the outsides even though the correct amount of tire pressure is in the tires. There has not been a time when I have ever been less than 3 lbs under pressure.

I have a 2002 galant, it was the first brand new car I bought for myself, the brakes squeaked the first day I've had to get the breaks done twice already and it only has 64,000 miles I've also gone through 2 sets of tires I'm about to buy new tires this week. In the last 2 months I've noticed it drives a lot harder now, there's odd noises coming out of the engine and it sounds like something is rubbing on the front tires when I drive. It pulls to the left really bad when I brake. If it's idling it sounds like it's struggling for air and shakes a little. I'm not even done paying for this car yet.

Front end feels shaky at high speeds, going over rough roads and bumps, & changing lanes at high speed. Vehicle also tends to pull to the right while driving. I have taken the car into the dealership on two separate occasions the first time I was told nothing was wrong the second time the control arm bushings on both sides were replaced. The problem persists and I do not feel safe driving this vehicle . I never received any paperwork regarding lemon laws at time of purchase nor was it mentioned. I need help.
