I WAS DRIVING AT 33 MPH ON A MAIN STREET WHEN CAR ON MY RIGHT GOES THROUGH STOP SIGN AND DRIVES INTO MY CAR. HE HIT THE FRONT OF MY CAR NEAR, BUT NOT INCLUDING, THE PASSENGER DOOR. AFTER IMPACT (HE NEVER BRAKE) HE CONTINUED TO MOVE MY CAR WITH HIS THEREBY FOLDING THE FRONT OF MY CAR IN HALF, TAKING OFF FRONT WHEELS, FENDERS AND BUMPER, GAS TANK (SMOKING BUT NOT ON FIRE), AND MOVING MY CAR TWO LANES TO THE LEFT VIA IMPACT AND PUSH. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. DRIVER'S DOOR, MINE, WOULD NOT OPEN. SEAT BELT PULLED IN VERY TIGHT. IMPACT SLAMMED MY CHEST, KNEE AND ANKLE. FRACTURED STERNUM, CUTS AND BRUISES ON LEG AND FOOT. BACK PAIN AT SITE OF CRASH. COULD NOT WALK UP AMBULANCE STEPS. HOSPITAL STAY 2 DAYS WITH MULTIPLE TESTS. DRS. VISITS REQUIRED THIS WEEK, ONE DAY AFTER RELEASE. CAR TOTALED. PHYSICAL THERAPY AND PAIN MANAGEMENT PUT INTO PLACE UPON HOSPITAL DISCHARGE. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN 2007, THE PAINT BEGAN TO WEAR OFF. IT STARTED CHALKING AND CHIPPING AND I'VE NOTICED PRETTY MUCH EVERY MITSUBISHI I SEE ON THE ROAD HAS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO PUT OUT SUCH CARS AND BE NEGLEGENT ON THE PAINT JOB. WE ALL PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THESE AND MITSUBISHI ONLY RECALLED THE "BLACK PAINT" THEY NEED TO RECALL THEM ALL BECAUSE ALL OF THEM ARE IN HORRIBLE SHAPE. MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.!!!!!!! I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET MY CAR PAINTED...IT SHOULDNT EVEN NEED PAINTED YET. I'LL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER. *TT

Check engine light suddenly came on and the vehicle lost all engine power and driving capabilities while driving at a low speed, turning a corner. There had been no other issues or indication of a failure of any kind. The car was pulled over on the roadside out of traffic and was able to be restarted with no problem. It was taken to a nearby auto parts store where they performed a free diagnostic check. The result that came back was generally regarding a vacuum issue in fuel system or lines. The gas cap lid and door were checked for proper closure and it was established they had been closed and sealed properly at the time the engine power failure occurred.

AFTER REPLACING FRONT/REAR BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND ROTORS PLUS APPLYING THE PROPER LUBRICANT BRAKES NOT ONLY STILL SQUEAL BUT I AM HAVING OCCASIONAL GRINDING MAINLY COMING FROM THE FRONT DISC. HAVE HAD THEM INSPECTED BY MULTIPLE MECHANICS. THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. DIAGNOSIS HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED NOT ONLY BY MECHANICS BUT APPARENTLY BY MITSUBISHI. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AFTER JUST HAVING TO LEASE THIS VEHICLE TO FIND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS NOT HAD ATTENTION FROM MITSUBISHI. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES BECAUSE OF TOO MANY FEARS FROM FOREIGN MANUFACTURES. I CHOSE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE MITSUBISHI HAS GREAT DESIGNS. AS FOR PRODUCING A RECALL FOR THIS VERY KNOWN PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE PRODUCING THIS RECALL WOULD ONLY PUT MITSUBISHI FURTHER IN DEBT. IF HONOR IS WHAT YOUR CULTURE LIVE BY, THEN HONOR THIS MISTAKE BEFORE MANY LIVES ARE LOST. *TR

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER LEFT /RIGHT FRONT SIDE TIRES ARE DISFUNCTIONAL WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE I HERE THE BEARINGS POPPING AND THE TIRES ALSO DIS FUNCTIONAL AND THE THIS CAR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I'M BUYING IT FROM SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE THE CAR WAS WELL TAKING CARE OF THE BELT ON THE CAR IS CRACKED IT HASN'T HAD A TUNE UP AT ALL THE AIR CONDITIONER ISN'T BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. *TR

THE HORN WHICH IS PART OF THE AIRBAG STAYED ON WHEN I USED MY KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE TO LOCK THE CAR. I HAD TO HIT THE HORN BUTTON IN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE IT STOP. THE HORN ONCE AGAIN BECAME STUCK THE NEXT DAY WHEN I HONKED MY HORN ON THE FREEWAY TO PREVENT A CAR FROM COLLIDING WITH ME AS THEY TRIED TO SWITCH LANES. I COULD NOT GET THE HORN TO SHUT OFF THIS TIME AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO PULL OUT THE FUSE. I PLUGGED IN THE FUSE WHEN I ARRIVED HOME AND THE HORN CAME RIGHT BACK ON. I THEN USED A RUBBER MALLET TO TAP AROUND THE HORN BUTTON AND STEERING WHEEL WHICH FINALLY STOPPED THE HORN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS MY HORN WILL NOW NOT SOUND AT ALL. *TR

AIR BAGS DIDN'T COME OUT WHEN ACCIDENT OCCURRED, THERE IS SMOKE COMING FROM EXHAUST NOT SOMETHING IS EATING THE GAS UP THERE IS LEAKAGE COMING FROM ENGINE, OIL, AND RADIATOR (UNKNOWN AREAS). *TR

I HIT A DEER DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP BECAUSE MY SEAT UNLOCKED AND SLID BACK ALL THE WAY, THAN I HIT THE DEER AND WRECKED MY WHOLE FRONT END. HAVE DODGED SOME MAJOR CRASHES DUE TO MY SEAT SLIDING. EVER SINCE I GOT MY CAR WHEN IT CAME OUT IN 03' THE DRIVER SEAT SLIPS WHEN IT SHOULD BE LOCKED HAPPENS RANDOMLY (EXTREMELY UNSAFE) MITSUBISHI SHOULD FIX OR REPLACE THE SEAT MECHANISM BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET INJURED. FEELS LIKE IT DECIDES WHEN TO LOCK AND WHEN TO "LET GO" SENDING ME INTO A SLIDE TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. IT'S PRETTY MUCH A DEATH TRAP. *TR

IN 2007, HORN WOULD JUST BLOW ON IT'S OWN AT RANDOM TIMES. EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD AT THE TIME, I REPLACED IT AGAIN. LAST WEEK, 8/09/08 THE HORN JUST STARTED BLARING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ANOTHER CAR SWERVING OUT OF THE LANE NEXT TO MY VEHICLE AND INTO MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE QUARTER-PANEL. SINCE THE FIRST INSTANCE, THERE SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AS THE RADIO AND CLOCK ALWAYS RESET, THE TRIP ODOMETER RESETS TO ZERO, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THERE ARE NO BLOWN FUSES, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NO ONE OR BUSINESS CAN SEEM TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. IT WILL TAKE OVER $5000 TO REWIRE THE CAR. AS A WORKING CLASS CITIZEN, AND UNEMPLOYED VETERAN, I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY, NOR ACCESS TO IT. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH WARPING ON THE ROTORS (TWICE). *TR

APRIL 11, 2014 I WAS TRAVELING UP 85 NORTH TO ATLANTA BETWEEN 9:30 PM & 10:00PM. JUST OUTSIDE OF MACON COUNTY ON MILE MARKER 45 THERE WAS A CAR SPEEDING IN THE WORK ZONE WHERE SIGNS WERE UP SAYING UNLEVELED ROAD. I EXCHANGED LANES TO THE RIGHT SIDE WHICH WAS THE PAVED SIDE AND CAME NEAR THE BRIDGE AND HIT A HARD BUMP WHICH MADE MY CAR HOP UP AND SLAM DOWN HARD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP BECAUSE MY TIRES WERE SMOKING. MY STRUT BOTTOMED OUT AND WAS SITTING ON MY TIRE MAKING IT NOT DRIVABLE BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE STRUT. TWO OTHER CARS HIT THE SAME BUMP INCLUDING THE STATE TROOPER THAT CAME TO ASSIST ME. I CALLED MY INSURANCE BUT THE COULDN'T PINPOINT WHERE I WAS. SO I ENDED UP CALLING THE STATE TROOPER AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF THE POCKET FOR TOWING BACK TO MONTGOMERY. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OR CONES IN THE ROAD TO NOTIFY THAT THERE WAS A ROUGH BUMP IN THE ROAD. I NEED HELP WITH THIS CAUSE I SPENT MONEY ON THIS DAMAGE AND FEEL USELESS BECAUSE OF A BUMP THAT DISABLE MY ONLY CAR FOR WORK. *TR

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER LEFT /RIGHT FRONT SIDE TIRES ARE DISFUNCTIONAL WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE I HERE THE BEARINGS POPPING AND THE TIRES ALSO DIS FUNCTIONAL AND THE THIS CAR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I'M BUYING IT FROM SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE THE CAR WAS WELL TAKING CARE OF THE BELT ON THE CAR IS CRACKED IT HASN'T HAD A TUNE UP AT ALL THE AIR CONDITIONER ISN'T BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. *TR

HEATER CORE IN 2003 GALANT HAS GONE OUT, WHICH MEANS NO HEAT IN VEHICLE. QUOTES FOR REPAIR ARE BETWEEN 900-1300, LABOR BEING 5-6 HOURS. I WAS TOLD THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT IN THE GALANT. THERE WAS AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE AT THE REPAIR SHOP WITH EXACT SAME PROBLEM. FURTHER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM & SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DEFECT THAT MITSUBISHI MOTORS SHOULD CONSIDER INVESTIGATING. *LN

HEATER DOES NOT BLOW WARM AIR ANYMORE. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT SHOULD NOT BE FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. WILL COST ABOUT $300 TO FIX. ALSO AIR ALWAYS COMES THROUGH THE VENTS EVEN IN OFF POSITION. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS IS ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT PURCHASED NEW WITH 12 MILES. I HAVE KEPT UP MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR AND HAVE A MANUFACTURER AND EXTENDED WARRANTY (BOUGHT FROM THE DEALER) BOTH COVERING MY CAR UP TO 100,00 MILES. MY CAR HAS 91,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND NOTICED THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN EXITING THE FREEWAY TO THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST TRY TO REACH THE EMERGENCY LANE BEFORE THE CAR DIED ON THE FREEWAY. WHILE GETTING OVER SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT THE HOOD ENTERING THE CAR THROUGH THE AIR VENTS, BY THE TIME I CROSSED 4 LANES; MY CAR LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I JUMPED OUT THE CAR DUE TO FEAR ONCE I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO MECHANIC SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WERE BLOWN. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND WAS INFORMED (AFTER A WEEK OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM MITSUBISHI, THE DEALER, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY) THAT NONE OF THE MAINTENANCE WOULD BE COVERED. SO, I THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $3500. I WAS TOLD BY MITSUBISHI THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR, (TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS STUCK) WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT AND SINCE THE RADIATOR IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEN NONE OF THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED. IT TOOK THE DEALER 2 WEEKS TO START WORK ON MY CAR. *TR

I HAVE A MITSUBISHI GALANT 2003. MY CHILD IS 6YRS. OLD AND WERE RIDING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SOMEHOW HE WAS IN TIED IN A HANG LOOP HOLE. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR, I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE SEATBELT TO REMOVE HIM, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SCISSORS. WHEN I TRIED TO UNTANGLE HIM, THE SEATBELT SQUEEZED HIS NECK AND HE STATED THAT HE COULD NOT BREATHE. THE LOOP WAS SMALLER THAN HIS HEAD, I HAD TO LIFT HIS BODY TO REMOVE HIM SAFELY. THIS WAS SO SCARY. I'M GLAD I SAW HIM OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE LOST MY SON THAT DAY INSTANTLY. WHEN I TRIED TO UNTANGLE HIM, I DIDN'T TAKE MUCH FOR THE LOOP TO SQUEEZE HIS NECK. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. *TR

I PURCHAED A MITSUBISHI GALANT 2003 ON 8/19/03 FROM JIM HUDSON MITSUBISHI. ON 8/23/2003 I WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY A MINI VAN. THE FRONT SEATS OF THE GALANT SLID BACK AND THE SEATS WERE BROKEN. SO MYSELF AND THE DRIVER WERE FLAT ON OUR BACKS IN THE GALANT. JUST THOUGHT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT CONSUMERS SHOULD KNOW. THE SEATS SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN AND WENT BACK THE WAY THEY DID.*AK

A FEW MONTHS AGO THE RADIO STARTED STAYING ON EVEN WHILE THE KEY WAS PULLED COMPLETELY OUT, THEN THE HORN FUSE HAD TO BE PULLED BECAUSE WHILE SITTING IN OUR GARAGE AND THE CAR NOT RUNNING, AND HADN'T BEEN RUNNING FOR 12 HOURS, THE HORN STARTED BLARING, UNTIL MY HUSBAND COULD DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, THEN WHILE DRIVING HOME ONE EVENING IN THE RAIN, I HAD THE WIPERS AND HEADLIGHTS ON THE WIPERS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, EVEN WHEN PUT IN THE OFF POSITION. THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL I SHUT THE HEADLIGHTS OFF. I AM SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND ESPECIALLY TO USE THE CRUISE. I FEAR THAT IF I DO USE THE CRUISE IT WILL STAY ON, AND I WILL BE INVOLVED IN A DEADLY CRASH. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO REALLY ACT UP WHEN THE WEATHER IS DAMP OR WET. THE WIPERS WILL COME ON BY THEMSELVES IN THE OFF POSITION, WITH OR WITHOUT THE HEADLIGHTS. PLEASE HELP. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT ES. IT HAS 69000 MILES. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR HASN'T CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT I AM AFRAID IN THE FUTURE IT MIGHT. IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO STAYING ON EVEN AFTER THE KEY IS PULLED, THEN IT WENT TO THAT IF I USED THE WIPERS AND THE HEADLIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME, THE WIPERS WOULDN'T SHUT OFF UNTIL I SHUT THE HEADLIGHTS OFF. WE THEN HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE HORN, BECAUSE WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE, NOT RUNNING, HADN'T BEEN RUNNING FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE HORN STARTED BLARING, AND WOULDN'T GO OFF UNTIL MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. I AM SCARED FOR MY OWN SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS, TO USE THE CRUISE. I AM SCARED IT WILL STAY ON, AND I WOULD BE INVOLVED IN A SEVERE CRASH. PLEASE HELP, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. THE GEARS DO NOT CONNECT LIKE THEY SHOULD. SOMETIMES THE GEARS DO NOT RESPOND AT ALL.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. *TC

I HAVE A '03 MITSUBISHI GALANT (AUTOMATIC) WHICH NOW HAS APPROX 8000 MILES. AT APPROX. 4500 MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN HESITATING UPON HARD ACCELERATION, SUCH AS WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE ALSO HESITATES WHILE DRIVING IN "STOP AND GO" TRAFFIC, SUCH AS WHAT IS DONE WITH IN-TOWN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. AT FIRST I BELIEVED I HAD FILLED THE GAS TANK WITH BAD GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT HAD A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER/LINE. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. A WARNING LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT ON 6/9/03. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR APPROX 3 WEEKS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. DIAGNOSIS: INTERNAL TRANS FAILURE UPON INSPECTION FOURND 4TH GEAR CLUTCH PAST CLEARANCE OUT OF SPEC AND CLUTCHES BURNED. REPLACED 4TH GEAR CLUTCHES AND RESET SNAP RING CLEARANCE. INSP 2ND BRAKE PISTON AND REPLACED O-RINGS. REMOVED VALVE BODY. INSP AND FOUND CHECK BALL WEARING THROUGH SEPARATOR PLATE. REPLACED VALVE BODY SEPARATOR PLATE. REPLACE SEAL FROM VALVE BODY TO 2ND BRAKE. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE 6/27/03. AFTER DRIVING FOR ONE DAY, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN TRYING TO GET ONTO A FREEWAY AND/OR MANUEVERING THROUGH IN TOWN TRAFFIC, THIS VEHICLE IS POSING A HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND/OR OTHER DRIVERS. I WILL RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AS SOON AS I DETERMINE WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR TO LET ME KNOW IF I NEED TO REPORT THIS TO ANOTHER AGENCY. THANKS. *AK

WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED GAS PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY STICKS OR VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM.*AK
