In oct. 2006 I took my vehicle in because the right front and rear doors were sticking and not opening at times. The dealer replaced the door panels. In July 2008 I took the vehicle to a different dealer for the same problem with right front and rear doors. They replaced the clips that hold the door panel to the frame, sighting poor design of the door panels. Currently (Jan. 2010) I am again having this problem with the right front and rear doors again and now the driver's front door. This will be the third time I've had this issue with the passenger doors. Mitsubishi does not feel this a concern to them since my vehicle is no longer covered under warranty. My concern is that this is a safety issue, currently three of my four doors get stuck and will not open at times, what if I were in an accident and needed to get out of the car? please help me bring attention to this matter.
The contact owns a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant. The vehicle was parked and the contact was unable to exit from the front driver side door. The door would not open and the contact had to exit the vehicle through the front passenger door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact stated that the failure would only recur in warmer temperatures. The contact believed the inside door panel would become stuck to the vehicle, causing the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure also recurred with the front passenger side door. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
