1999 Mitsubishi Galant

I HAVE HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM...HAD ROTORS REPLACED 3 MOS AFTER PURCHASE, COMPLAINED OF VIOLENT SHAKING NUMEROUS TIMES. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS B/C I HAD "AFTER FACTORY" WHEELS THAT WERE TOO BIG FOR MY CAR. I LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT. THE NEXT THING TO OCCUR WAS A LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING COMING FROM FRONT END WHEELS. IN JUNE OF 2001, I HAD AN A/C IDLER PULLEY REPLACED FOR $150. AS SOON AS I DROVE AWAY, THE NOISE PRESENTED AGAIN. I FINALLY GAVE UP ON SITTING AT THE DLRSHP FOR 3 HRS W/A 3 YR OLD, SO I'VE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT...YET AGAIN. THE NOISE STILL PERSISTS AS OF 2/02. IN MAY OF 2001, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. TO DATE I'VE HAD ALL RECALLS SVCD. UPON THE START OF MY CAR, THE SUNROOF, LIGHTS, ANYTHING POWER, RADIO, ETC., WERE NOT IN FUNCTION. I NOTICED THIS THE FIRST TIME AFTER PULLING AWAY. NUMEROUS TIMES THEREAFTER (2X IN RAIN) I STARTED TO PULL OUT AND TURN ON MY W/SHLD WIPERS TO REALIZE NOTHING WORKED. MY TEMP. FIX WAS TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART AGAIN...PRAYING. AS OF LATE...I HAVE HAD MY E BRAKE LIGHT LUMINATED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS, FOR NO REASON. MY OIL LAMP LIGHT WOULD COME ON HERE AND THERE. WHEN STARTING MY CAR NOW, SOMETIMES MY RADIO WILL BE "ON" BUT, WON'T START WORKING AND WILL EVENTUALLY COME IN FROM THE BACK SPKRS UP TO THE FRONT. THE OTHER TEMP FIX I'VE FOUND WHEN THINGS AREN'T WORKING, IS TO TURN THE KEY SLIGHTLY BACK TOWARD ME AND IT TURNS THINGS ON. ON TOP OF ALL THIS...MY BLACK WEATHER STRIPPING ON TOP OF MY CAR HAS FLOWN OFF (CLIPS BROKE) THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST COLD W/END OF DEC 2001. W/IN 2 DAYS, BOTH FLEW OFF WHILE I WAS ON THE HWY. I HAD TO PULL OFF TO REMOVED THE REMAINDER. AND GETTING TO THE LAST BUT NOT LEAST STUFF...ONE DAY LAST WEEK, MY LOCKS WOULD NOT STAYED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I WOULD LOCK ALL, REVERSE, TURN, DO ANYTHING AND THEY WOULD UNLOCK THEMSELVES, MIRACULOUSLY, THE NEXT DAY IT STOPPED. AS OF LAST NIGHT, MY DOOR AJAR LAMP IS ON AND REMAINS ON & MY DOME LIGHTS -WILL NOT SHUT OFF.*AK

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

AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE WHOLE CAR SHAKING WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALER IN OCT 1999 AND THEY TURNED THE ROTARS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I JUST RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE IT IN BECAUSE THE BATTERY FAILED AND HAD THEM CHECK OUT THE BRAKES WHILE I WAS THERE AND THEY SAID I NEED A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB. I ASK THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CHECK TO SEE IF THEY HAD BEEN DONE BEFORE AND HE FOUND THEY HAD. HE SAID HE WOULD TURN THE ROTARS AGAIN BUT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRAKE PADS. THE BRAKES WERE REALLY TIGHT WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK LAST WEEK, BUT NOW THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING BACK WHERE THEY WERE. THIS CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED AND THE BRAKES. I FEEL THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS AT NO COST TO ME. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE CARS THE MAJORITY ARE ABOUT THE BRAKES. *AK
