Air Bags
08/18/2013
GOOD MORNING, I PURCHASED MY 2005 MITSUBISHI GALANT ES IN JUNE OR JULY OF 2005 WITH APPROXIMATELY 1,400 MILES AND FOR THE PASTED FEW WEEKS I'VE NOTICE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS RISING/SEPARATING MORE AND MORE OF THE DASHBOARD EXACTLY ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT SILVER TRIMMING. I CONTACT THE MITSUBISHI DEALER (866-346-0796) ON SEPT. 10, 2013 WHERE I MY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND EXPLAINED TO THEM IN DETAIL THE PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE SERVICE WRITER ASKED FOR THE LAST EIGHT DIGIT OF THE VEHICLE VIN # WHICH I PROVIDED. THE SERVICE WRITER PULLED UP THE HISTORY IN HIS COMPUTER AND ADVISED ME THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT. I WAS VERY SURPRISED BY HIS ANSWER AND TOLD HIM I WILL CONTACT MITSUBISHI CORP. OFFICE TO FIND A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT GET WORST. AND FOR THE RECORD I'VE PREVIOUSLY OWNED TWO MONTERO MITSUBISHI SUV. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MITSUBISHI GALANT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT WHEN BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT TEST DRIVEN. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE TORQUE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AXLE WAS TOO TIGHT AND CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I HAVE A 2006 MITSUBISHI GALANT THAT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ONLY HAS 65K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT A BLACK GALANT AND THE PAINT IS FADING IN SPOTS, IT LOOKS LIKE OXYDATION IS SETTING IN, I'VE TRIED OVER THE COUNTER POLISHES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. THIS IMHO, IS A PAINT DEFECT AND I FEEL THAT MITSUBISHI SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR LOOKS LIKE LIKE CRAP NOW AND I AM NOT LIKELY TO PURCHASE ANOTHER GALANT IF THIS IS NOT REMEDIED. *TR

I HAVE A BLACK 2005 MITSUBISHI GALANT. WITHIN THE PAST YEAR THE PAINT HAS BEEN FADING BY TURNING A OFF WHITE IN SOME AREAS AND IT IS SPREADING LIKE CANCER. I EVEN HAVE A SPOT THAT IS GETTING RUSTED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A PAINT RECALL. I NEED MY PAINT FIXED PLEASE BEFORE IT SPREADS EVERYWHERE. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND AM NOT ABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME. *TR
