MY 2005 GALANT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKE PROBLEMS I REPORTED IT TO MITSUBISHI DEALER BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG JUST A GLAZE. I FINALLY TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GET THE BRAKES DONE THEY REPLACED THE PADS 2 WEEKS LATER THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING NOISE SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THEM BACK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN ALL THEY TELL ME, ITS A GLAZE BUT THE NOISE GETS LOUDER. THE ENGINE ALSO MAKES A CLICKING NOISE THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE WHEN YOU STOP THE BRAKES SCRUB I HAVE RECEIPTS SHOWING THAT THE I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE BRAKE INSPECTED AND ALSO HAVE TO SLAM VERY HARD WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. THE NOISE WHEN YOU ARE STOPPING THE CAR IS VERY LOUD AND CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY CAN DO DUE TO NO WARRANTY. ALSO, THERE IS NO SIGNAL INDICATING WHEN THE CAR NEEDS OIL, NO CHECK ENGINE COMES ON, FRONT LIGHTS BLEW A WEEK AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND REPLACE IT SEVERAL TIMES AND CONTINUE TO BLOW, THE SAME BRAKE LIGHT BLEW AGAIN AND CONTACT MITSUBISHI AND ASK THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY TOLD THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO FIX IT. WHEN PULLING UP THE BRAKE IN THE CAR NO LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. MY FAN FOR THE AC STOP WORKING AND NOW WHEN I DRIVE I CAN HEAR THE AC SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BLOW WHEN YOU TURN IT ON. *TR
MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 45,988 MY 2005-2007 ENDEAVOR, GALANT, ECLIPSE COUPE, AND MY 2007 ECLIPSE SPYDER VEHICLES. THE BRACKET THAT IS THE ATTACHMENT POINT FOR THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAP MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY FORMED DURING A METAL STAMPING PROCESS. THE PROCESS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE METAL TO HAVE A SPLIT IN THE AREA WHERE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK STRAPS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT THE FUEL TANK IS FULL AND THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SEVERE COLLISION, THE BRACKET MAY BREAK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO DROP DOWN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A FUEL LEAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK STRAP MOUNTING BRACKET HAS SPLITTING BEYOND A SPECIFIC LIMIT. VEHICLES WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE SPLITTING WILL BE REPAIRED USING A REINFORCEMENT CAP, A SPECIAL STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE, AND A RIVET TO REINFORCE THE FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKET. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 73,000 MY 2004-2006 GALLANT PASSENGER VEHICLES. DURING VEHICLE USE, THE IGNITION KEY INTERLOCK CABLE (WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM) MAY ALLOW THE INTERLOCKING CAM TO FALL FORWARD AND ALLOW THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE GEARSHIFT MECHANISM IS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT SHIFT TO PARK BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY AND FAILS TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND CORRECT THESE VEHICLES FOR THE REPORTED CONDITION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-888-648-7820.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH CONTROLS THE FLUID PRESSURE TO THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES, MAY ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO BYPASS INTERNALLY DURING STOPPING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS MAY RESULT IN A PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING, INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES, AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 3, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
