i to am a mitsubishi owner....i have a 2002 diamante and have had many problems with the brake rotors warping....heres the solution....do not cut the rotors but instead have new ones installed....and heres the key....mechanics love to use an air wrench which can torque your lugs as much as 200foot pounds and can and will lead to rotor warping within 5000 miles....have your lugs hand torqued using a star pattern to 75 foot pounds and your problem will be solved otherwise you will have warping rotors as long as you have the car.....DO NOT DEPEND ON THE MECHANIC TO DO IT....MOST WILL NOT...torque wrenches are inexpensive.

I have also spoke with several other Galant owners and they report having the same problems. Is there any way to get Mitsubishi to recall this veichle and own up to its mistakes?
