One problem related to engine and engine cooling has been reported for the 1997 Mitsubishi Galant. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was at a stop sign and I pressed on the gas, all of a sudden the car just stopped moving. I put the car in park, shut it off, turned it back on, shifted it into drive, and it would not move, it seemed like it was stuck in nuetral. It has not moved ever since.
