What owners report
FUEL FILLER TUBE IS RUSTED THROUGH AND IT LEAKS WHILE FUELING THE CAR. PUDDLES UNDERNEATH THE CAR. *TR
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I WENT DOWN A DITCH I HIT A TREE AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DISPLAY I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG BECAUSE MY AIRBAG DID NOT CAME OUT WHEN I WAS IN THAT BAD ACCIDENT AND I DIDN'T THE FRONT OF MY CAR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MITSUBISHI GALANT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WIRE WAS MELTED. THE WIRE HARNESS WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS LATER, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WIRE HARNESS HAD ALSO MELTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
IN HOT WEATHER THE DOORS STICK CAUSING THE OUTER DOOR AND INNER PANEL TO SEPARATE MAKING IT UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE NOR INSIDE. HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING ON DOOR TO MAKE IT UNSTUCK BEFORE YOU CAN ENTER OR GET OUT. LARGE RISK OF BEING STUCK INSIDE CAR IN HEAT. *TR
THE KEY CASING SEEMS TO FALL APART AFTER A SHORT WHILE, MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING WILL IT "KILL" THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, HAS THIS BEEN QUESTIONED BEFORE? *TR
