What 1994 Mitsubishi Galant owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer has problems with brakes/clutch and steering wheel. She said that steering wheel wandered on it's own. When applying brakes brake pedal stayed up high, and on other times, brakes pedal went all the way to the floor. Every six months, she had to replace brakes. Also, clutch stuck, and moved intermittently. Consumer took vehicle to dealership, and mechanic told her that problem cannot be duplicated.
This information was reconstructed from memory. I wrote a letter to nhsta in 1995. Though I no longer own the car (I sold it in april 2000) I am entering this data at this time, because of today's press release regarding the mitsubishi coverup. I hope this will assist nhsta in it's investigation against mitsibushi. Please check back files for copies of documents submitted with my 1995 letter. Debbie ryan
