2004 Mitsubishi Galant

IN OCT. 2006 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THE RIGHT FRONT AND REAR DOORS WERE STICKING AND NOT OPENING AT TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DOOR PANELS. IN JULY 2008 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH RIGHT FRONT AND REAR DOORS. THEY REPLACED THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE DOOR PANEL TO THE FRAME, SIGHTING POOR DESIGN OF THE DOOR PANELS. CURRENTLY (JAN. 2010) I AM AGAIN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT FRONT AND REAR DOORS AGAIN AND NOW THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER DOORS. MITSUBISHI DOES NOT FEEL THIS A CONCERN TO THEM SINCE MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CURRENTLY THREE OF MY FOUR DOORS GET STUCK AND WILL NOT OPEN AT TIMES, WHAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR? PLEASE HELP ME BRING ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *CW

AGO..IT IS NOW FADING ON THE TRUNK...HOOD...AND SIDE PANELS. HAVE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES AND MANY WEBSITES AND UNDERSTAND THEIR ARE MANY WITH THIS PROBLEM...PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFORMATION OR IF I CAN SUBMIT MY PHOTOS OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I TOOK MY 2004 MITSUBISHI GALANT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON IT TO DETERMINE WHY IT WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED IN 2006 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME I HAD BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DUE TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECALL. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS FAIR TREATMENT. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP REFLASHED THE PCM FREE OF CHARGE BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I WOULD LIKE THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI GALANT. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO, THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PEEL AND BECAME VERY ROUGH. THE FAILURE HAS SPREAD TO THE TRUNK, HOOD, AND SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE PAINT BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. SHE BELIEVES THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.
