Intake manifold has been replaced twice and now the third manifold has cracked in the very same place as the first two. First replacement came with no explanation why. Second replacement was because of a cracked motor mount. I will not let dealership replace this manifold. I have been told that when the timing belt was replaced it was not installed correctly and there is too much engine vibration. Belt replaced at 60k. Three manifolds failed in a 19 month period

Dt: contact stated the computer sensors failed. This could affect the catalytic converter and cause air pollution. Did not think the public was made aware of the recalls. Two sensors failed asked mitsubishi to fix them, and they refused because there was no recall. They were only guaranteed for 3 three years or 36,000 miles.

Timing belt and values for the mitsubishi galants need to be looked over to see if it's a recall problem because mine went out on me, and also I know of another person with a mitsubishi galant had the same thing happen to them.
