Battery Cable Problems of Mitsubishi Galant

I am having problems with my car not wanting to start. This has been going on for quite some time. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the cam shaft censor after a month or two the starting problem started again. I then had the coils, wires and battery cable replace and still have the problem. I want to know if there has been recalls for these problems no I have not been told. I only have 68000 miles on this car and should not be having this problem.

The vehicle was inspected by the contacts personal mechanic who advised that the battery cable wiring harness failed and caused the vehicle to stall. The contact located NHTSA campaign id number: 99v333001 (electrical system: battery: cables) but was advised by the manufacturer that his VIN was not included. In addition, the manufacturer advised that the part needed for repairs would only be made available to those vehicles that fell within the recall. The vehicle was not repaired.

When battery cables are disconnected for service, the car stalls suddenly & repeatedly without warning. This continues for approximately 10-12 miles before returning to normal. Twice in 2007 when the battery cables were disconnected from the battery; once to clean acid build-up off the cables (5/07) & then again to install a new battery (10/07) , the car started right up and ran fine until out on the road and preparing to stop for a light and/or slowing down under 30 mph and then it died repeatedly. I took it back to the approved autonation dealer (power Ford) as they were the ones that cleaned the cables along with my 40,000 mi service. An older mechanic said there is a sensor that has to 'reset' itself after being disconnected. He took the car out and drove it to put the miles on it, for it to stop. I have asked other people about that theory and no one seems to know about it. It is so dangerous I cannot believe it would continue for that many miles. I believe something is defective. This is the only time my car has ever given me trouble. It is very unsafe and I am filled with dread worrying about the next time something has to be checked or done involving the battery.

Car dies due to engine fuse blowing, apparently related to recall number 99v333001. Mitsubishi denies any knowledge of such recall.

Received recall notice in mail concerning battery cable. Contacted dealership for an appointment. Was informed that no parts were available.
