05/10/2003
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED THREE TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WHEN I GOT HOME, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE NEXT DAY, I PLACED THE GEAR IN DRIVE, AND PRESSED THE GAS; IT SOUNDED AS IF THE ENTIRE EVERYTHING WOULD FALL OUT. MY TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT WITHOUT WARNING, AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I NOW SEE THAT THERE IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT MITSUBISHI TAKES RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATE US, THE CONSUMERS. IF THEY DON'T, THEY WILL ONLY LOSE CUSTOMERS. THANKS.*AK

I OWNED MY CAR FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS WHEN THE FIRST TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT APPROX. 40000 MILES WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. APPROX. 1 YEAR LATER THAT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THAT TIME AND I HAD TO PAY $1700 TO REPAIR IT. 4 MONTHS AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT A THIRD TIME, I BOUGHT A USED TRANSMISSION AND HAD IT INSTALLED. THE TRANSMISSION STILL DOES NOT ACT RIGHT, SHIFTING HARD AND THUMPING A LOT. THERE IS DEFINITLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE CARS AND OR TRANSMISSIONS. DT

ON MARCH 20, 1999 I PURCHASED THE MITSUBISHI GALANT FROM MARK ESCUDE TOYOTA OF 955 I-20 S. FRONTAGE RD JACKSON< MS 39204 (601) 948-3420. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, ABOUT 15-20 MILES AWAY THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT & HAD TO BE TOWED BACK. ON MARCH 24, 1999 WE RETURNED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, 2 HOURS AWAY, TO PICK UP THE CAR. NOW, ALMOST 30000 MILES LATER THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT ONCE AGAIN, MAKING THIS THE THIRD TRANSMISSION TO BE PLACED IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER GOING ONLINE & DOING CHECKS ON THE '96 GALANT'S TRANSMISSION I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS CASES AFTER CASES OF THE SAME GALANT S SERIES IN WHICH I HAVE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING TO BE REPLACED. UNDOUBTABLEY, THERE IS SOMETHING IN THIS PATICULAR MODEL THAT IS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH 2 DIFFERRENT PEOPLE WITH MITSUBISHI MOTORS & THEY FEEL THAT IT IS JUST COINSIDENCE THAT THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, & MODEL WITH THE SAME TYPE TRANSMISSION HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM B...
