Three problems related to engine belts and pulleys have been reported for the 2000 Mitsubishi Galant. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Mitsubishi Galant based on all problems reported for the 2000 Galant.
Intake manifold has been replaced twice and now the third manifold has cracked in the very same place as the first two. First replacement came with no explanation why. Second replacement was because of a cracked motor mount. I will not let dealership replace this manifold. I have been told that when the timing belt was replaced it was not installed correctly and there is too much engine vibration. Belt replaced at 60k. Three manifolds failed in a 19 month period.
Car just stalled without warning turns out timing chain went. 1200 repair fixed within 2 months needed another timing belt. . .
Timing belt and values for the Mitsubishi Galants need to be looked over to see if it's a recall problem because mine went out on me, and also I know of another person with a Mitsubishi Galant had the same thing happen to them.
