Body problems of the 2002 Mitsubishi Galant

2002 Mitsubishi Galant has a paint defect that is seen in every black Galant that is seen on the road. The manufacturer denies any responsibility. In addition the vehicle loses hub caps constantly. This can also be seen in almost every Galant on the road manufactured around those years.

My 2002 silver Mitsubishi Galant gtz looks horrible. Noticing after the car was purchased that the car did not have any real shine to it. Tried waxing and still looked bad. Even running you hands over it does not feel smooth. Well in 2007 I noticed blotchy spots all over it no looks like the paint is gone completely. I actually paid extra for the clear coat protection and undercoating innercoating when purchased new. It's as if it showed up as soon as the warranty expired. No one can give me any information and I think I may get a lawyer too. As I read more complaints about this problem, the more and more ticked I am!.

I have 2 complaints. I have a 2002 black Mitsubishi Galant ES and like many others I see on the road and have read about on the internet. Oxydization has occurred all over my car, it started about 2 years ago and buffing and waxing does not help. Also, another problem that started about 2 years ago: when turning from air to heat or vice versa, there is a loud clicking noise and then it will turn over when it feels like. I think recently it has just given out and completely broke. I just paid this car off and am embarrassed to drive it.

I am owner of 2002 black Mitsubishi Galant with a very badly fading paint job. I am a second owner of this car(since 2006) and for the couple years the fading process has been rather dramatic and the car just looks ugly, inspite of me never having any issues with the performance of the car itself engine or otherwise. I know that there a similar black Mitsubishi owners(galant, eclipse, endeavor) suffering from this issue. Hence filing my complaint requesting for some action against Mitsubishi America to repair the shoddy paint job.

I bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant I took care of it by keeping it washed and waxed and after 6 months I had the car I started to see some spots on my car starting to fade,a year later it looked as if I had my car for about 8 years because the paint job is really bad. I see alot of cars daily that looks like mine and I know that there was a problem with the paint that Mitsubishi used to paint these cars but they aren't doing anything about it and I think that that is wrong. There are hundreds of Galants out there maybe more and they act as if nothings wrong, I feel like there wrong and they know it they just don't want to do anything about it and I'm clearly tired of it and think someone should do something about it. It doesn't make any sense to me because I can understand maybe 1 or 10 cars but we are talking about a whole lot more then that and if they're not going to own it to there responsibility than I think I need to get me a lawyer and let him take over mine and everyone else's case.

Car is exceptionally aerodynamically unstable. The vehicle drifts or wavers back and forth at highway speed. Even light, gusty wind pulls the vehicle hard necessitating abrupt corrective maneuvers to prevent side collisions on the highway. On windy days, a gust will cause vehicle to swerve into neighboring lane without correction.

Paint on front area of roof and rear deck lid is cracked and coming off.
