My car would not start at all. After it being towed to a garage, they diagnosed the problem to be the electrical wiring harness. It was chafing against the engine and causing a short. When they replaced all the fuses the car sparked and smelled of smoke with small flames by the fuse box. The mechanic ended having to replace the harness. But said that this maybe a universal problem as my car is only a 2005 Mitsubishi Galant. Of course it has 72,000 miles so it is out of warranty.
: the contact stated, on two separate occasions there have been multiple times the abs/tcl (traction control) has disengaged without warning. Each occurrence was at different speeds. The dealer's service technicians have inspected the vehicle on several occasions. Updated 8/9/2006 - the traction control light disengages while at speed with or without cruise control on, the consumer feels that the abs system is also at question. The dealer inspected the vehicle and did a diagnostic check. There were no signs of corrosion, dtc's and all pcm's were ok. The passenger rear door makes noise when opening.
