Driving down the highway at 65 and the sunroof blew off the car. Glass/brackets/inside cover. Entire thing just separated. Thank god nobody behind me. Checked with Mitsubishi corporate and no help. Claimed not factory installed. Could not tell me if dealer installed - no info at all to track down when installed/by whom/dealer/purchaser etc. Should be tracked down to see if faulty and that it won't happen to anybody else. Repair person could only tell possible bracket rusted out????.
Paint defect on black 2002 Mitsubishi gallant.
Soon after I paid off my 2004 Mitsubishi Galant I noticed that the paint was oxidizing so I took it to a Mitsubishi dealership and they repainted it for me. It has been about 7 months since the paint job and the paint is oxidizing again. I have seen other black Galants around which have had the same issue, what can be done about this?.
Electrical - I have replaced my right brake light about 20 times before I was informed it was an electrical issue. I purchased a new socket the light work for 2 weeks and now its off again. Unknown - everytime it rains hard my front passenger floods with a pool of water. This is the second time this has happened now my car smell like mold. The dealer told me there were leaves clogging the hose, out of everyone I know with a car this has never happened to them. I can't wait to trade this car in. I will never ever get a mitsu and I will stop anyone I know from purchasing one.
Since purchasing this 2004 Galant ES in June of 2005, I have been shocked too numerous times to count. It does not happen when you are initially opening the door to get into the car, only after you have already been inside. This has been occurring continually since day of purchase. At first, I though it might be just me carrying around static electricity, but it happens to everyone on any door of the vehicle. It is rather painful at times as the spark is clearly visible, even during the day. I haven't a clue what could cause this, and plan on mentioning it to the dealership at this oil change.
