  GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, CAR ACCELLERATED AND SMASHED INTO A MOBILE HOME. (DETAILS? RDRUNER@AOL.COM). I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACK OUT OF SOMEONES DIRT DRIVEWAY. I WAS POSITIONED AT AN ANGLE. WHEN I BACKED OUT (GOING ABOUT 3-5 MPH), I BUMPED INTO A TREE. I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES SO THAT I COULD PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE CAR ACCELLERATED AT AN EXTREME RATE AND MADE A TERRIBLE LOUD NOISE. THE CAR THEN THRUSTED FORWARD (THE ENTIRE TIME MY FOOT WAS HEAVY ON THE BRAKE - I AM 100% SURE OF THIS!). THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP THE CAR. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 60 FEET, THE CAR THEN CAREAMED INTO A MOBILE HOME. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I BELIEVE THOUGH THAT THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY THE METAL BEAMS FROM THE MOBILE HOME. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM LOOKING INTO THE LEMON LAW DUE TO THIS INCIDENT AND OTHER PROBLEMS. TRYING TO GET THE CAR REPURCHASED OR REPLACED. *AK

  1999 GALANT CLEAR COAT DEFECTIVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR OLD AND WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR THE CLEAR COAT STARTED TO FLAKE OFF THE ROOF AND TRUNK. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE PAINT THAT WAS USED. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS TO NEW TO HAVE THIS MUCH PAINT DAMAGE. AND NO I HAVE NOT USED ANYTHING ON IT, SUCH AS CHEMICALS OR SO ON THAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY STATED BY OTHER DEALERS. I CONSIDER THIS POOR MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *JB

  WHEN TRAVELING & UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A NORMAL OR GRAUDAL STOP CONSUMER NOTICED THE PEDAL VIBRATED, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. THIS IS NOT AN ABS. *AK

• 12/20/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THERE IS TOO MUCH SPACE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. CONSUMER HAS MISSED THE BRAKE PEDAL ON SEVERALOCCASIONS BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN. CONSUMER'S SHOE SIZE IS AVERAGE FOR A MALE. *AK

• 12/15/2001· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULICCrash

  I HAVE TAKEN MY GALANT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YRS. FOR SERVICE ON THE ROTORS. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, HOWEVER THE AREA REP. STATED THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED, BUT THAT IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT EFFECT THE BRAKES.*AK

  ROTORS KEEP WARPING, HAD REPLACED THEM TWICE. *AK

• 12/12/2003· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  FRONT ROTORS WARPED AT AROUND 15000 MILES. AT THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AND BOUGHT HIGH QUALITY PADS. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE ROTORS WARPED AGAIN. I BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF ROTORS, AND THINGS WERE OKAY FOR ABOUT 10000 MILES. AFTERWARDS, BRAKING VIBRATION CAME BACK. I DECIDED TO BUY BREMBO SLOTTED ROTORS IN CASE THE FACTORY ROTORS WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I FINALLY FOUND AN INTERNET SITE THAT HAD THEM FOR THIS CAR, BUT I PROBABLY CANNOT WRITE THE NAME HERE. I ALSO MADE SURE MY TIRE CENTER DID NOT TORQUE THE LUGS OVER 80 FOOT POUNDS WHEN ROTATING THE TIRES. AFTER A ROTATION, I USED MY TORQUE WRENCH TO VERIFY PROPER TORQUE. SO FAR THE BREMBO ROTORS HAVE NOT WARPED. LASTLY, I HAVE NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCING DOES NOT HELP.*AK

  EVER SINCE PURCHASE OF 1999 MITSUBISHI GALANT IN 2003 THE HEATER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. ENGINE TEMP IS NORMAL BUT BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. GIVE IT THE GAS AND IT BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. TAKE FOOT OFF OF GAS AND GOES COLD. REPLACED THERMOSTATS TOLD THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE HEATER CORE THAT GOES BAD IN ALL OF MITSUBISHI'S. *NM

  DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND HAD WORSENED OVER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A POWER FLUSH PERFORMED, ALL RELATED FILTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER EXPRESSED THAT IF PROBLEMS CONTINUED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE NECESSARY WORK WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE PROBLEMS WORSENED.

TOOK TO DEALER FIRST TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT VIBRATION IN DEC 1999, LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING VEHICLE; SECOND TIME, IN MARCH 1999 (ROTORS FOUND WARPED, FRONT ROTORS AND PADS RESURFACED); THIRD TIME APR 1999 (ROTORS WARPED AGAIN, FRONT ROTORS AND REAR DRUMS RESURFACED); FORTH TIME JUN 1999 (ROTORS WARPED AGAIN, FRONT LEFT & RIGHT ROTORS REPLACED THIS TIME); FIFTH TIME, FRONT ROTORS TURNED. ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN OCT 1999, ALL OF A SUDDEN NO RADIO, WIPERS, CIGARRETTE LIGHTER, HORN. NO PROBLEM FOUND BY DEALER. NOW VEHICLE VIBRATES EVEN WITHOUT APPLYING BRAKES, WHEN REACHING 55 MPH. SEVERAL CALLS TO MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE BEEN "CORDIALLY" UNHELPFUL, HAVE NOT HAD DEALER CONTACT US ABOUT PROBLEM AS THEY PROMISED IN OCTOBER 1999, OVER A MONTH AGO. NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE. *AK

• 11/15/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  FRONT ROTORS REQUIRE RESURFACING APPROX. EVERY 7,000 MILES. FRONT BRAKES ALSO LOSE STOPPING EFFICIENCY WHEN ROTORS ARE WARPED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY RELATED DESIGN DEFECT JUSTIFYING A RECALL. *AK

• 11/15/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  BRAKES VIBRATE WHEN STOPPING. USUALLY OCCURS WHEN STOPPING FROM A HIGHER SPEED IE. 55MPH. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP 4 TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE DEALER STATES THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS.

  STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE CLEAR COAT ON MY 1999 BLACK MITSUBISHI GALANT WAS PEELING OFF ON THE HOOD. NOW MY HOOD, ROOF, AND TRUNK ARE TOTALLY PEELING OFF. NOTICED THIS ON A LOT OF OTHER BLACK GALANTS. I KNOW THE CAR WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT, BUT THE PAINT SHOULDN'T OF GOT SO BAD SO QUICK. ANY RECALLS ON MITSUBISHI PAINT?*JB

• 11/14/2001· TIRES

  I NEED TO REPLACE MY TIRES AT 26,000 MILES. MENTOR MITSUBISHI TOLD ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I HAVE TO CALL GOODYEAR. WHEN I CALL GOODYEAR, THEY KNOW NOTHING EITHER. I HAVE A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM MY TIRE AREA AND THE TWO DEALERS I TOOK IT TO WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

• 11/13/2001· STRUCTURE

  THE DOOR HANDLES THAT YOU PULL TO EXIT THE VEHICLE HAS SNAPPED OFF ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. I CANNOT EXIT THE CAR WITHOUT PUTTING THE POWER WINDOW DOWN AND REACHING OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR. IF I HAVE NO POWER I CANNOT PUT THE WINDOW DOWN MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT CLIMBING OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. I BELIVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE 2 DOOR HANDLES THAT HAVE CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE, ONE HAS NOT COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF YET, BUT THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE HAS RENEDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THEY ARE MADE OUT OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO FIND THE OTHER 2 HANDLES HAVE ALSO CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE.

• 11/11/2004· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTHS AGO THE CLEAR PAINT COAT BEGAN TO TURN WHITE ON MY BLACK 1999 MITSUBISHI GALANT. IT BEGAN ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR AS A SMALL SPOT...BUT THEN IT SPREAD. I TOOK MY CAR TO DARCARS MITSUBISHI (WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW BACK IN 1999) TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PAINT. THE GUY "TOLD" ME THAT I HAD MY CAR PAINTED BEFORE. I CLARIFIED THAT I NEVER HAD MY CAR PAINTED BEFORE & ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIS MANAGER. I EVEN PRINTED OUT INTERNET COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CLEAR COATS COMING OFF THEIR MITSUBISHI'S. HIS MANAGER ALSO "TOLD" ME THAT I HAD MY CAR PAINTED. I CLARIFIED THAT I DID NOT APPRECIATE THEM TRYING TO IMPLY THAT I WAS LYING. I MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT I NEVER HAD MY CAR PAINTED BEFORE. DURING THIS TIME OF FRUSTRATION A MITSUBISHI SALES REP ACTUALLY HAD THE NERVE TO TRY TO PERSUADE ME INTO LOOKING AT NEWER GALANT'S!!! I CALLED MITSUBISHI HEADQUARTERS AND THEY TOLD ME I NO LONGER HAD A WARRANTY ON THE PAINT. I COME FROM A LARGE FAMILY...AND WE'VE ALWAYS PURCHASED HONDA'S, ACURA'S & INFINITI'S. I WAS THE FIRST TO PURCHASE A MITSUBISHI. WHAT A MISTAKE! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A MITSUBISHI EVER AGAIN...AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE I KNOW WILL NOT EITHER. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE.*JB

  WE TOOK DELIVERY OF OUR CAR ON 2/25/99. IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT ON 5/12/99 WITH BAD VIRBRATION IN THE STEERING UPON BRAKING. THEY SAID THE ROTORS AND BUSHINGS WERE BAD AND REPLACED THEM. 2 MOS LATER, BACK AGAIN WITH SAME PROBLEM. SAME THING DONE AGAIN TO FIX. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK 5 TIMES FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. THE PROBLEM KEEPS RETURNING AFTER ABOUT 2000 MILES EACH TIME, THEY REPLACE THE SAME THING. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AND THE DEALER PETE MOORE, NO RESPONSE. I AM AFRAID THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET WHERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE TAKEN THEIR CARS IN AND THE EXACT SAME REPAIRS ARE DONE OVER AND OVER. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. SOMETHING THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SOME OF THESE CARS. THEY CAN'T FIX IT FOR GOOD. THE PROBLEM CREEPS BACK WITHIN A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES. NOW I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE, I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM AFRAID TO TRAVEL. I AM AFRAID THE WHAT IF WHAT EVER IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT THEY CANNOT FIND, WHAT IF IT BREAKS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN. WILL I BE ABLE TO STOP, TO STEER? WILL I LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR? SOMETHING IS BAD WRONG HERE. I FEEL THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT. THANK YOU.*AK
