2001 Mitsubishi Galant airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 31 of 31, newest first, as owners wrote them.
At just after 48,000 miles on the 2001 mitsubishi galant es v6, the ABS and traction control lights came on and stayed on while operating the vehicle. The brakes, which had recently been replaced, made loud echoing crunch noises. Braking distance increased. The brakes had almost always been wobbly, even with newly machined rotors. Also, front and side air bags did not deploy when vehicle rear-ended a tahoe on a different occasion.
Me and my wife were driving about 45 miles an hour when the rear end of my car started sliding I try to correct the fish tale but the driver rear tire and rim folded under the car which cause the car to flip several times no airbags deployed the car was so crushed I had to dig down into the ditch to free myself from the car upon taking a closer look I realized the sway bar had pulled apart from both sides of the rear of the car also the main support of the rear suspension had broken in too therefore causing the car to flip we could have easily died in this crash and 2 year old and our 6 month old would have no parents.
The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and none of the air bags deployed.
The front of vehicle hit the side of another vehicle and the air bags did not deploy. Mr scc
2001 mitsubishi galant ls v6 with 30,000 miles. Has been in shop over 5 times. Has been towed into shop once for not starting due to fuel injection problems. Was diagnosed with defective side and passenger airbags, anti lock braking system. Has serious steering vibration when driving. Dealer told us it was only the tires and they overinflated my tires to solve the problem. Problem has continued and has been occurring since vehicle had 15,000 miles and tires were properly rotated and balanced. Concerned that vehicle poses serious safety hazards.

I was in a serious accident on march 17 2003. My car was totaled in the accident. The entire front of the car was caved in. The problem was, the air bags did not deploy in the accident like they were supposed to. The type of vehicle was a 2001 mitsubishi galant es. I was going approximately 45 miles per hour. The shuttle bus that hit me pulled out in front of me and we collided. I am really upset but thank god I had my seat belt on. I tried contacting the mitsubishi company but they declined to speak to me and gave the run around. If there is anyway I can get help with this matter I would really appreciate it. Thanks .

On january 30, 2002, I was in a car accident on interstate 78 express. I was going about 65-70 miles per hour in the right lane. A car merging into traffic crossed over the hazard lines and I swerved to avoid hitting the car. I was driving a 2001 mitsubishi galant es. My car begin to spin and I drove into the guardrail, but my airbags did not inflate. My entire front end is damaged. My insurance company, selective insurance, considers my car to be a total loss.
I rear ended a stopped vehicle going 50 MPH and air bags didnt work. What do I do.
While traveling at about 65 MPH consumer's vehicle hit another vehicle head-on on drivers side. Upon impact, air bags did not deploy. Consumer and passenger were injured. Consumer felt if airbags had deployed some of the injuries would not have been so bad.
Airbag light is on all the time, not taken to dealer yet.
Srs light stayed on continuously while car was in motion. The dealer replaced the seat backs, since they claimed that the side air bags were the problem. The light has not come on since the repair. Also, the steering wheel air bag cover did not properly fit. This unit was also replaced. This repair also appears to be acceptable. As for the windshield, it is leaking water into the interior. The dealer already made two attempts to fix this problem. The first attempt included resealing the windshield, and the second attempt was an adjustment to the moonroof. They claimed that both of these fixes would work, but I'm still finding water leaking into the interior. The leak has remained at the same location, about 4-6 inches left of center.
Airbag light stays illuminated while vehicle is in motion. Has been repaired under recall; however, problem still exists.
I ran into a center divider onthe highway and my airbags didn't deploy and seatbelt did not lock.crash caused by loss of vehicle control.
