I feel this posed a safety problem by the transmission failing to respond while changing lanes on a freeway traveling 65mph, literally placing my life in danger.
1999 Mitsubishi Galant transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Upon breaking from both low and highway speeds, tremendous vibration in the steering column and brake pedal. Have had brakes checked by 3 different dealers on numerous occassions, the last time requiring replacement of the rotors and prblem still exists/returned. Also, while driving at slow speed (less than 15 miles/hours) the transmission failed without any indication requiring a total replacement just barely past mfg warranty exppired.
The transmission continues to slip, even though this vehicle has been in the shop a documented 4 times and a final repair attempt by the manufacture's representative!
Transmission upshifts and downshifts very abruptly banging severly on each shift. Took to dealer ,was told shifting was normal.problem got worse , took to another dealership (20,000 mi) ,was told computor needed reprograming and repaired.somewhat remedied problembut as time went on problem reoccured.again was told this was normal shifting and nothing more could be done. Took to transmission specalist was told shift patterns were not right and the abuse to this point will definility affect the life of this system. Trying to get satisfaction from mits. Without much success.
