| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS | I PURCHASED A 2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT IN DECEMBER 2002. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED EVERY YEAR. ALSO, THERE IS A HUGE LIST OF OTHER PARTS AND REPLACEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE; THE MOST RECENTLY TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, VALVE COVER AND GASKET, HEATER HOT WATER CONTROL, VALVE, THERMOSTAT FOR COOLING SYSTEM, ETC. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES, AND IT WORKS AS IF IT HAS OVER 200,000 MILES.*AK |
| 2003 | VISIBILITY | THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE CONSTANT RATTLING SOUND BEHIND THE DASHBOARD WHEN YOU FIRST TURN ON THE HEAT. AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECS IT STOPS. THEN EVENTUALLY THE RATTLING SOUND STOPS COMPLETELY WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEAT AND SO DOES THE HEAT AND THE DEFROSTER. I LOST HEAT THE FIRST TIME BACK AROUND DECEMBER OF 2008. IT CAME BACK ON WITHIN TWO WEEKS AND STAYED ON DURING THE WINTER. AROUND THE FIRST OF MAY, I LOST HEAT AGAIN AND IT HAS NOT BEEN BACK ON SINCE. *TR |
