TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MITSUBISHI GALANT. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAME TO A VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY.. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE WHEELS. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 102,000. UPDATED 12/12/2007 *BF THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE WHEELS SHOULD NOT HAVE LOCKED UP WITHOUT WARNING AT 50 MPH. UPDATED 12/12/07

ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO I GOT THIS CLICKING NOISE BEHIND MY DASH AND MY HEAT QUIT WORKING. WELL IF IT WOULD CLICK AGAIN IT WOULD WORK. WELL IT FINALLY QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MITSUBISHI SEEMS TO BE PUTTING BAD HEAT CONTROL MOTORS IN THEIR CARS. MY CAR 2002 AND IT STARTED THIS IN 2004. AS MUCH AS I'VE PAID FOR THIS CAR THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP PART TO HAVE FIXED AS I HAVE FOUND FROM MY RESEARCH. IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE IT HAPPENED TO BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MITSUBISHIS AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY PART. THANK YOU! *TR

I HAVE A 2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT WITH PROBLEMS WITH THE HEATER CONTROL MOTOR, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN AN EXUBERANT AMOUNT OF THESE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY MITSUBISHI SEEING THEY CHARGED 22,000 FOR THIS CAR AND IT IS NOW ONLY WORTH 3000. *TR

I HAVE AN 03 BLACK MIT. GALANT AND THE PAINT HAS FADED ON THE TRUNK AND TOP CLOSE TO THE SUNROOF. I KEEP MY CAR UNDER A CARPORT. THE CAR IS NOT PAID FOR AND IT ALREADY LOOKS VERY OLD. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED OTHER CARS THIS SAME MODEL AND COLOR AND THE PAINT IS FADING TOO. IT SEEMS THE COMPANY WOULD REPAINT THESE CARS SINCE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE PAINT WASN'T OF ANY QUALITY.

A/C NOT WORKING PROPERLY NOT ANY WHERE NEAR AS COLD AS IT SHOULD BE. BROUGHT BACK TO MITSUBISHI IN SERRAMONTE AROUND 4 TIME. THEY COMPLETELY TOOK APART DASHBOARD AND THE A/C IN 2003 AND SAID THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN SOME PART OF THE A/C UNIT AND FIXED IT. WELL NOW IT'S 4 YEARS LATER AND IT NEVER REALLY WORKED RIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2000. I JUST GAVE UP TRYING TO GET THIS A/C TO WORK PROPERLY BUT A FRIEND TOLD ME I SHOULD POST IT WITH THE NHTSA. *TR

DEFECTIVE PAINT ON ROOF AND TRUNK WITH BIG WHITE PATCHES AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS. TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN EAST BAY IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY SAID WOULD REPAINT ROOF AND TRUNK BUT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE FOR 2 WEEKS. I WOULD HAVE HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 2 WEEKS SO IT WAS NOT WORTH REPAINTING BECAUSE I HAD NO MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR
