1999 Mitsubishi Galant ES review from North America
"Bad Brakes Bug this Buyer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my brake rotors and pads machined, serviced and replaced about so many times I've lost count!
Now, all my dash lights are out; my radio, windshield wipers and cruise control only work if I jiggle the ignition after I start the car.
When my car was two years old, I lost all power on the middle of rush hour traffic and was stuck in the middle of the road due to a recall no one had informed me of.
Now, if I idle in the car for a while, it just shuts off!
My fuel tank has never read as "Full" even though it was replaced twice.
General comments?
No more Mitsubishi's for me, sorry to say. I'm wondering what ever happened on the settlement for the brakes lawsuit, as well.
