2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT Complaints

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

I HAVE A 2003 BLACK MITUSBISHI GALANT ES. THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS THE PAINT...THE TOP OF MY HOOD IS DISGUSTINGLY WHITE AND FADED, ALSO THE ROOF OF THE CAR, AND THE TOP OF THE TRUNK. THE FADE IS SPREADING AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE..I SEARCHED FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT MITSUBISHI PAINT. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS. IT'S EMBARRASSING DRIVING AROUND WITH THE PAINT THAT HIDEOUS. *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

I HAVE A 2003 GALANT AND MY HEATER HAS FAILED THERE IS AIR BLOWING BUT IT'S NOT HOT. WHEN I TURN THE DIAL FROM COLD TO HOT IT WAS MAKING A RATTLING SOUND WHICH I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE IN THE VENT AREA, THINKING MAYBE IT WAS JUST NOT TURNING. COME TO FIND OUT IT'S THE HEATER CORE AND IT'S OVER $500 TO REPAIR. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE DATING BACK TO 2006 AND I BELIEVE THAT MITSUBISHI SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

IM COMPLAINING ABOUT MY BLACK PAINT ON MY GALANT. I BOUGHT IT IN 05 AND BYT THE BEGINNING OF 06 MY PAINT WAS OXIDIZED AND FLAKING. THE ROOF HAS RUSTED THROUGH THE PAINT. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE AND ITS GOING COST OVER 2000 JUST TO GET IT PAINTED WHEN THE PAINT THAT WAS USED TO PAINT IT WAS OF POOR QUALITY?! GALANTS THAT ARE OLDER AND ARE BLACK LOOK BETTER THAN MINES AND EVEN THE GALANTS WITH DENTS AND SCRATCHES LOOK BETTER THAN MINES BECAUSE THEIR PAINT IS STILL GLOSSY. PLEASE FIX THIS THANK YOU *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS EXAMINING HIS VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE BLACK PAINT ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN FALLING OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95000.

FOR A WHILE THE AC AND HEATER FAN HAS BEEN MAKING A "RUBBING" SOUND WITHIN THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE HEAT IN THE CAR HAD TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING. AS IT GETS COLDER OUTSIDE, THE WINDSHIELD FOGS AND WITHOUT HEAT, THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFROST IT CAUSING INABILITY TO SEE CLEARLY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THIS PROBLEM CAN OBVIOUSLY LEAD TO CAR ACCIDENTS. THE PART HAS NOT YET BEEN REPLACED BUT IS CURRENTLY BEING LOOKED INTO. *TR
