On 10/13/00 the transmission went out completely. Upon having my transmission rebuilt, the mechanic notified me that part of the problem was the transmission had gotten way too hot. He said he would either have to replace the radiator or add an external cooler, or they would not warranty the rebuilt transmission. I told them to go ahead and add an external cooler. Upon getting ready to add an external cooler, the mechanic noted that I already had one. However it was routed incorrectly from the transmission to the external cooler to the radiator, and back to the transmission. It should have been routed from the transmission to the radiator to the external cooler, and back to the transmission. This was a manufacturing error. I am the second owner of the car and have spoken with the first owner. Neither of us had the transmission worked on except for regular servicing, which obviously would not require removal of the transmission or a check of the external cooler routing. I have notified mitsubishi and they said they are not responsible due to the fact that the car is out of warranty. I believe, however, that other owners should be notified as I am sure my galant is not the only one with the external cooler routed incorrectly. I do not believe that owners should be responsible for paying $1,800 to $2,400 to have the transmission replaced due to a manufacturing error on mitsubishi's part.

No summary listed for above vehicle.
While driving in the local area traveling about 10mph and making a left turn at an intersection, transmission changed from 1st to 2nd gear, but vehicle started idling and rolling into the parking lot. This was not the first time this has happened. One morning upon starting vehicle, and shifting it out of park into reverse, shifting was rough, could feel transmission jumping. Had the vehicle towed home. Didn't contact the dealer.
Ball joint damage is due to bad boots. I would like to have these ex-rayed to prove their incompetance to do their job protecting the ball jts. The misalignment, pinching, hairline cracks or holes have caused the destruction on the control arms and ball jts. These problems put strain on the brake system thus causing rotors to warp and wear out. I would like all documentation on all galants with these problems and their results (20 susp., 25 brake, & 17 power train on your complaint issuance via net). I would like all other complaint data via telcons or written complaints in these matters. I know that this is an injustice to me as a consumer, in my heart and soul I know that this is wrong. Can you assist me in obtaining recall letters (including but not limitied to #'s 99v0660001 and 99v066002)please and explain to me how a recall on a boot can be established without the cooperative parts as well. Please send a copy o this complaint back to my home address and email and include please all o these notes as a hard copy. Do you also maintain any records o small claims cases, independant law suits or court actions o any kind relating to this or my pursuit o justice. I am willing to go to any lengths to resolve this injustice including contact with the local district atty, and the state atty. General. Also, I implore you to send this data to your associate administrator or saety assurance. I'm sorry about the lacking letter between d & g in my correspondence to you. Thank you in advance or your support, assistance and any guidance you can provide me with. Sincerely, vicki beaumont.
