I have a 2k1 with 16000 miles and i went to a tire place to get my tires aligned..My car was veering left and steering wheel was shaking despite that i balanced my wheels a week before. So when the guy was aligning it, he showed me my left brake pad.. it was completely gone. The right was fine. And the rotors were warped already. He told me that it was a caliper problem. I'm bringing it to the dealer Monday morning.. has this happened to anybody else?

yeah, i have a 7G galant, and pretty much any generation galant, the brakes just plain suck. i danno what the hell happened, but they suck more than a porn star.

I've never had a problem with my brakes. In fact, they are really good. Actually, I think mine might have been replaced since I have about 65k miles on my g-ride.

Yup, happened to me. Bought a set of new calipers (prolly didn't need the other one, but I figure for something like that I'll just replace them in pairs) and all was good.

my car has been like that since day one. it depends on my speed though while braking. my car pulls to the right hard.
