OUR 2002 BLACK MITSUBISHI GALANT HAS PAINT FADING ON THE TRUNK AND TOP. TWO BODYSHOPS HAVE TOLD US THIS IS COMMON WITH MITSUBISHI DUE TO THE CLEAR COAT USED. THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES AND LOOKS TERRIBLE. *TR

I OWN A 2003 MITZUBISHI GALANT. THE EXTERIOR PAINT STARTED FADING APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NOW THE ENTIRE HOOD, ROOF, AND TRUNK AREA HAVE OXIDIZED AND FADED TO THE METAL. THE CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT! THERE WAS CLEARLY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER IN COMPLETING THE PAINT PROCESS. I HAVE CHECKED WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS YEAR AND MAKE VEHICLE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD AT LEAST PAY HALF IF NOT ALL THE COST OF REPAINTING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2002 SILVER MITSUBISHI GALANT GTZ LOOKS HORRIBLE. NOTICING AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY REAL SHINE TO IT. TRIED WAXING AND STILL LOOKED BAD. EVEN RUNNING YOU HANDS OVER IT DOES NOT FEEL SMOOTH. WELL IN 2007 I NOTICED BLOTCHY SPOTS ALL OVER IT NO LOOKS LIKE THE PAINT IS GONE COMPLETELY. I ACTUALLY PAID EXTRA FOR THE CLEAR COAT PROTECTION AND UNDERCOATING INNERCOATING WHEN PURCHASED NEW. IT'S AS IF IT SHOWED UP AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. NO ONE CAN GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION AND I THINK I MAY GET A LAWYER TOO. AS I READ MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THE MORE AND MORE TICKED I AM! *TR
