Owners have filed 68 complaints
about the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant with NHTSA between 2004 and 2022.
The largest single group is the body & structure.
Across this model's run it ranks 16 of 18 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 28
Against the median year of the Mitsubishi Galant. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 53
10.3% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 40
23% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.

NHTSA crash tests
The agency crash-tested this model year itself. These are its own
photographs and star ratings.
These stars come from the pre-2011 crash test programme. NHTSA
rebuilt the programme for the 2011 model year and states that
ratings either side of that change are not comparable — so do
not read these against a 2011-or-newer car's stars.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
United States — NHTSA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 73,000 MY 2004-2006 GALLANT PASSENGER VEHICLES. DURING VEHICLE USE, THE IGNITION KEY INTERLOCK CABLE (WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM) MAY ALLOW THE INTERLOCKING CAM TO FALL FORWARD AND ALLOW THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE GEARSHIFT MECHANISM IS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION.
Risk: IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT SHIFT TO PARK BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY AND FAILS TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 20082641,907 units in Canada
Other
On certain vehicles, the ignition key interlock cable may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition when the gearshift mechanism is not in the PARK position. If the driver does not shift to PARK before removing the key, and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur. This could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

MY SON'S CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE SAME THING. HE SAID HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULD RAPIDLY ACCELERATE TO A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. HE TRIED BRAKING, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, HE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED TO HIM 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP BOTH TIMES. IN MARCH, 2006 MY SON WAS KILLED IN THIS CAR. (IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP JUST 5 DAYS EARLIER) HE WAS ON A 45 MPH ROAD IN HOUSTON. THE CAR WAS GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHEN IT LEFT THE ROADWAY. IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT I KNOW THAT THE CAR DID THE SAME THING IT HAD DONE JUST DAYS BEFORE, RESULTING IN MY SON'S DEATH.

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2004 MITSUBISHI GALANT TO THE DEALER OVER 9 TIMES FOR MY BRAKES. I CONTACTED A LAWYER FOR THE LEMON LAW AND WAS ADVISED THAT DUE TO MY MILEAGE I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR A LEMON RETURN. HE ADVISED ME TO SETTLE WITH MITSUBISHI AND MOVE ON. IN THE PROCESS OF THE ATTORNEY PROCESSING MY SETTLEMENT, MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A NON COLLISION ACCIDENT, WE FEEL IT WAS BREAK FAILURE, BUT THE LAWYER STATED IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH TO PROVE IT WAS BREAK FAILURE. I DID AS HE STATED EXCEPT THAT I DIDN'T MOVE ON BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER INSTITUTE AND HAD THEM INSPECT MY VEHICLE, THEY STATED TO CHANGE MY BREAKS AGAIN...I PAID THEM TO DO IT AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BREAKS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR WITH CONSTANT BREAK ISSUES AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER SPENDING ALMOST $800.00 IN BREAKS AND ROTORS SINCE NOVEMBER 2006. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LEMON VEHICLE TO ME. I HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF MY THE DEALER AND THE ATTORNEY WHO HANDLED MY CASE.

I ROLLED DOWN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IN THE MORNING TO GO THROUGH A DRIVE THRU FOR BREAKFAST. WHEN ROLLING THE WINDOW BACK UP, IT MADE A SCREECHING SOUND. LATER THAT EVENING WHEN I LEFT WORK, THE ENTIRE WINDOW WAS STILL IN THE FRAME BUT WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. MY WORK REVIEWED SECURITY TAPES FOR POSSIBLE FOUL PLAY BUT NOBODY APPROACHED MY CAR ALL DAY. IT APPEARS THE INSIDE MECHANISM OF THE POWER WINDOW WEAKENED THE GLASS. I HAVE FILED TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF HOW BOTH REAR WINDOWS HAVE ROLLED THEMSELVES DOWN INTO THE DOOR FRAMES. THERE APPEARS TO BE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE WINDOW MOTORS ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM UNABLE TO USE MY WINDOWS AS NORMAL.
