5 Steering problem of the 2006 Mitsubishi Galant

Failure Date: 10/06/2006

: the contact stated the steering was over reacting causing the vehicle to be very difficult to control while making left or right turns at 65 mph. Once the contact slowed down to 45 mph, the vehicle had better control but it seemed like the vehicle was electronically operating itself through the turns and was very difficult to control. The vehicle had not been to a service dealer. The vehicle was a rental. The consumer stated while driving on the freeway, a vehicle veered into her lane which required her to do a quick evasive maneuver, the turn the consumer made to avoid the other vehicle was quick, but small. The vehicle seemed to over react to the consumer's input and went out of control. The consumer had to correct the vehicle's steering to keep the vehicle from overcorrecting. The vehicle was a rental car. Updated 12/05/06.

7 Steering problem of the 1999 Mitsubishi Galant

Failure Date: 08/23/2003

My car driving ability seems okay but at times it tends to pull to the side as if I'm about to make a turn. Secondly, it's been making a clinging sound. I took it to a Mitsubishi dealership and they can't seem to find the problem where the noise is coming from and I'm concerned about my safety at times driving my car because this has been an ongoing process every since I got my car, know one seems to know what's going on.

Failure Date: 05/15/2003

Airconditioning leaks from beneath glove compartment. Drained twice but company will not repair if there is the presence of any outside material such as a leaf, a piece of debris that they claim is in the system. Dealer repair stated that there is something in the body that is allowing debris to get in and when consumer indicated that was a car defect dealer said that there was nothing they could do. Therefore, defect in body caused problem with cooling system and neither is covered by warranty. Consumer is actively seeking remedy for this problem. Car handles like garbage. Tires have been replaced, brakes, alignment done twice and the car pulled to the right still. After brakes were done car actually pulled more to left. The car stinks.
