My car had an overheating problem last december 12/2007. therefore i took it to a mechanic to get it fixed. they said they replaced the radiator, fan control, and upper and lower radiator hoses- (i have the receipt for that). a week later when i was driving, the car started to catch fire. the fire was coming from the front. the whole car up to the back seats were all damaged because of the fire, only the luggage was ok. so my insurance company conducted an investigation to see the cause of the fire and their report was that it was the mechanics fault. (i have the investigation report with me). however, the mechanic shop wanted to conduct their own investigation as well. so their conclusion was that this mitubishi galant 2001 model license plate numbewas recalled for this particular problem. but i never got any letter from mitsubishi up till today about this. so please let me know if this car was recalled for this particular problem or whether this was the mechanics fault. if you need any additional information please call me or email me. make: mitsubishi model: galant year: 2001 *tr
Air conditioner leaks inside the car on drivers side and in front and behind drivers seat floor mats literally drips with water and floor is soaking wet. we purchased the car with a bumper to bumper 100,000 mile extended warranty from hampton mitsubishi 4895 johnston st lafayette, la 70503. they told us this problem is not covered by extended warranty. i am so frustrated and feel so deceived and have vowed to never purchase another mitsubishi car and will not recommend misubishi cars to anyone. *jb
leaking a/c evaporator into floorboard of drivers and passenger side. used a dependable local mechanic to work on the problem. the leaking evaporator has been cleared twice by the mechanics and after spending over $600.00 the problem is yet to be resolved. mitsubishi corporate has yet to recall this but the more you research the more you understand that this is not an uncommon occurrence. the 2001 galant has a significant backgound of documentation from this ongoing problem and mitsubishi will not stand behind there product while knowing there is a major problem. in short i will not buy or recommend mitsubishi products again. *jb
