general problems of the 2003 Mitsubishi Galant

Frequent clogging of a/c drain and drainage into driver side foot hold. The service department is unable to clean drain tube at this point. The car is not parked under or near trees.

The horn which is part of the airbag stayed on when I used my keyless entry remote to lock the car. I had to hit the horn button in the steering wheel to make it stop. The horn once again became stuck the next day when I honked my horn on the freeway to prevent a car from colliding with me as they tried to switch lanes. I could not get the horn to shut off this time and had to pull over to pull out the fuse. I plugged in the fuse when I arrived home and the horn came right back on. I then used a rubber mallet to tap around the horn button and steering wheel which finally stopped the horn. This is a huge safety concern as my horn will now not sound at all.

Air bags didn't come out when accident occurred, there is smoke coming from exhaust not something is eating the gas up there is leakage coming from engine, oil, and radiator (unknown areas).

Heater core in 2003 Galant has gone out, which means no heat in vehicle. Quotes for repair are between 900-1300, labor being 5-6 hours. I was told this seems to be a common defect in the Galant. There was an identical vehicle at the repair shop with exact same problem. Further searching on the internet reveals that this is a common problem & should be considered a defect that Mitsubishi motors should consider investigating.

Heater does not blow warm air anymore. Was told by dealer that this is a common problem, but should not be for the age of the vehicle. Will cost about $300 to fix. Also air always comes through the vents even in off position. Was told by dealer that this is another common problem.
