I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 3:00 PM ON A WEEKDAY AND MY SUNROOF JUST SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WHEN IT BROKE. I SWERVED INTO THE NEXT LANE, NOTHING HAPPENED BUT THIS INCIDENT COULD OF BEEN A LOT WORSE. AT THE TIME NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY SO IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A ROCK OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN AND REGARDLESS OF THE TRIPLE DIGIT SUMMER TEXAS WEATHER THE GLASS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE HEAT TEMPERED. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE CHUNKS OF GLASS STARTED TO FLY OFF AND WAS HITTING THE BACK OF MY TRUNK, SCRATCHING THE PAINT JOB.

SOON AFTER I PAID OFF MY 2004 MITSUBISHI GALANT I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT WAS OXIDIZING SO I TOOK IT TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPAINTED IT FOR ME. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 7 MONTHS SINCE THE PAINT JOB AND THE PAINT IS OXIDIZING AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN OTHER BLACK GALANTS AROUND WHICH HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?

I WAS WITH MY SON LEAVING A STORE, WHILE IT WAS 38 DEGREES OUTSIDE. AFTER WE GOT IN THE CAR AND I TURNED ON THE HEATER, IT BEGAN MAKING A FLUTTERING SOUND UNDER THE DASH AS IF THE VENTS WERE OPENING UP. WITH THE KNOB ALL THE WAY TO THE RED POSITION AND THE OTHER KNOB IN THE WINDOW DEFROST POSITION, I WAITED FOR THE WINDOWS TO DEFROST AND THE HEAT TO MAKE THE CAR WARM. THE WINDOWS NEVER DEFROSTED AND THE HEAT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE WINDOW DOWN IN THE COLD, AND MY SON FREEZING IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY POPULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

I HAVE A 2002 MITSUBISHI GALANT, THE KNOB THAT CONTROLS THE AIR TEMPERATURE IN THE CAR USED TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN BEING TURNED FROM COLD TO HOT & VICE VERSA, IT STOPPED MAKING THAT NOISE AND NOW I NO LONGER HAVE HEAT. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET HIGH & LOW AND HAVE FOUND LOTS OF COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS AND THAT IT IS THE HEATER CONTROL MOTOR. I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

WELL I HAVE A BLACK 2001 MITSUBISHI GALANT GTZ. WITHIN THE PAST YEAR I DISCOVERED THAT THE TOP OF MY HOOD STARTED GETTING WHITE SPOTS. AFTER 10 MONTHS THEY SMALL SPOTS SPREADED INTO WHITE BLOBS ON MY HOOD. I SOON FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CHALKING DO TO A BAD CLEAR COAT ON THE VEHICAL. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND VERY QUICKLY THAT MANY FRIENDS, COWORKERS AND FAMILY WERE HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM BETWEEN THE MODEL YEARS OF 1998 - 2002. THIS WAS NOT ONLY MY STATE IT WAS MUTIPLE PLACES SO I KNEW IT WASN'T THE WEATHER. WHAT CAN I DO TO INSTITUTE A RECALL ON THE PAINT JOB?
