Wheel Problems of Mitsubishi Galant

Shannon bell private dealer is selling this car with a unrepairable cv axel. I purchased it and di my home work he rolled the miles back. He's falsely advertising it as clean tie and 190 something miles. That's even less then when I had it. Air bag lights are on and he unplugged the wires along with seatbelt so the lights don't show.

Lug nuts on these tires begin to loosen them selves within 1000 miles. My lug nuts will randomly fall off and need replaced. I can always tell my tires about to fall off when you use the break and they sound like they are going out.

While traveling down a dirt road going about 5 mph the lower control arm broke not any of the rubber boots the control arm itself rusted and broke.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 mitshubishi gallant. The contact stated that there was an abnormal vibration on the front drivers side of the vehicle while driving the vehicle 60 mph. The failure happened without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it could not be diagnosed. The vehicle had its tires re balanced approximately 6 times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure of the vehicle. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 47,000. The VIN was not provided. Kh.

The contact owns a 2012 Mitsubishi Galant. While driving approximately 10 mph, the contact noticed a tumbling sound from the front passenger side wheel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that one of the lug nuts was missing on the front passenger side wheel and would have to be replaced. All of the lug nuts on the front and rear driver and passenger sides were found to be loose. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 20,300.

I purchased my car brand new back in Dec of 2008. Not even three years later, three (3) of the four (4) tires have severe cracking where the tread meets the sidewall. The only reason the fourth tire wasn't damaged the same way is I had a nail stuck in the sidewall prior the first tire failure and had to replace it, so I can only assume it would have had the same issues. I had a slow leak and noticed the cracking on one of the tires when filling with air. The mechanic was the one who pointed out the other tire starting to crack the same way. Tonight I noticed the third tire (last original tire) also had the same cracking.

When going in reverse the car makes a horrible loud noise. The car is still in factory condition and not using any aftermarket parts. Dealer states they have tore down the rear end of another car and lubed and oiled and sat for overnight and did the same noise. Seems to be a very big defect in something used. Cannont understand how a brand new car with very low miles will make such a noise.

2002 Mitsubishi Galant has a paint defect that is seen in every black Galant that is seen on the road. The manufacturer denies any responsibility. In addition the vehicle loses hub caps constantly. This can also be seen in almost every Galant on the road manufactured around those years.

The wheel covers on my car flew off random times going down the interstate. Tires were in good condition but it seems that anytime I went over 70mph I would lose a hubcap. This could cause an accident or car damage. Headliner in back window has started to come down blocking rear view. The dashboard passenger side has come loose from behind glove box. This houses the air bag could prevent proper deployment or dangerous deployment if its ever needed. Lastly, the clear coat on the trunk has chipped away. I know at one point there was a recall on (black) cars for this specific reason. Except my car is gold. :( on the positive note the engine and transmission have been great.

Faulty wheels (rims), on the date specified the local dealership where my vehicle was being serviced noticed that the after market wheel that Mitsubishi placed on the vehicle was not fitting properly and the lug nuts were not lined up properly on the rim holes, the dealership said this may explain some of the shaking in the wheels when braking as the rotors looked fine, when attempting to speak with the dealership that sold the vehicle they sad OH well its been two and a half years what do you expect us to do about it. I feel this is an important fact to get out as there may be other owners of this product out there that are unaware of this and I am not sure of any issues reported thus far on this but something should be done to warn or notify these owners.

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. Steering said to have no problem yet see above. The car stinks.

I have had problem after problem. . . Had rotors replaced 3 mos after purchase, complained of violent shaking numerous times. I was told this was b/c I had "after factory" wheels that were too big for my car. I learned to live with it. The next thing to occur was a loud noise while driving coming from front end wheels. In June of 2001, I had an a/c idler pulley replaced for $150. As soon as I drove away, the noise presented again. I finally gave up on sitting at the dlrshp for 3 hrs w/a 3 yr old, so I've learned to live with it. . . Yet again. The noise still persists as of 2/02. In may of 2001, I began experiencing electrical problems. To date I've had all recalls svcd. Upon the start of my car, the sunroof, lights, anything power, radio, etc. , were not in function. I noticed this the first time after pulling away. Numerous times thereafter (2x in rain) I started to pull out and turn on my w/shld wipers to realize nothing worked. My temp. Fix was to shut off the car and restart again. . . Praying. As of late. . . I have had my e brake light luminated for about 2 months, for no reason. My oil lamp light would come on here and there. When starting my car now, sometimes my radio will be "on" but, won't start working and will eventually come in from the back spkrs up to the front. The other temp fix I've found when things aren't working, is to turn the key slightly back toward me and it turns things on. On top of all this. . . My black weather stripping on top of my car has flown off (clips broke) this happened the first cold w/end of Dec 2001. W/in 2 days, both flew off while I was on the hwy. I had to pull off to removed the remainder. And getting to the last but not least stuff. . . One day last week, my locks would not stayed in the locked position. I would lock all, reverse, turn, do anything and they would unlock themselves, miraculously, the next day it stopped. As of last night, my door ajar lamp is on and remains on & my dome lights -will not shut off.

Thw wheel fell off from the axle, causing consumer to lose control, dealer insisted that some fault was to blame on the consumer. Nlm.
