| 1997 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM | VEHICLE BRAKES HAVE BEEN FIXED TWICE BY DEALER WITH SAME PROBLEM AND DEALER INSISTS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. HAD ACCIDENT WITH BRAKING PROBLEMS APRIL, 1997 WHEN BRAKES FAILED TO GIVE GOOD RESPONSE. CAR WAS FIXED BY DEALER BUT HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE. ALWAYS HAVING PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. REPLACE BRAKES EVERY 3 - 6 MONTHS. |
| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM | 2003 GALANT ES. V-6 MOTOR. HAD TO REPLACE HEATER CONTROL VALVE DUE TO NO HEAT. CLICKING NOISE FROM TIME TO TIME THEN NOTHING AS WELL AS NO HEAT. NO SOONER DID I REPLACE THAT AND THEN HEAT SELECTOR QUIT WORKING. CAN NOT CHANGE FROM VENTS TO DEFROST. MECHANIC SAID HEATER BOX WARPED AND COST ABOUT 2500.00 TO FIX THIS. NOW PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE RADIATOR BURST OPEN ON THE FRONT SIDE. ABOUT A 4 INCH OPENING JUST TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF CAP IF YOU ARE FACING THE CAR. MECHANIC HAS SAID ALL OF THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THESE CARS AND MITSUBISHI SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AS EVERY GALANT MADE HAS HAD SAME ISSUES.. *TR |
