What 2001 Mitsubishi Galant owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There is a major gas in my car. The spell is there 100% of the time. When you come within 20 feet of the car...you get the overwhelming gas spell. I'm afraid to drive the car at all now. I'm a single father on full disability, with a 16 year old daughter with no mother. I can't afford the gas which doubled due to the gas leak. More importantly...I can't drive my daughter to school...anywhere.

Mitsubishi galant gtz only getting 11 mi/gallon. Car was inspected by dealer and they could not find anything wrong. All miles driven are highway miles.
There was a vibration and brake pulsation. The front rotors were inspected and were found warped. The dealer replaced the two front tires to eliminate the vibration in which the problem remained. The tires were changed 11 times in less than a year. The vibration remained and was most noticeable when the vehicle accelerated or on bends and remained throughout the range of driving speeds. The drive train was thought to be the problem per conrad's(service dealer). There also were dangerous fumes when the vehicle was started inside the passenger compartment, the fuel gauge had become inoperative, and there was premature rusting in the seams of the engine.
