I saw the today show segment on airbags and decided to check my new used car purchased recently. I see there are 3 recalls- lighting (headlights), fuel, and something related to airbags though different than the tekada brand. I bought this car for my newly licensed 18 year old. Please help me make sure this car is safe! She does tell me the headlights are very dim and she drives w her high beams?

My heater stopped working. Then the heat would take at least a half an hour before coming on but would only stay warm when I was driving. Cannot keep my windows defrosted in the winter! Very unsafe! Also, my left, front headlight will go on by itself and will blink, without any key in ignition, it will still come on. Drving at night, headlights wouldnt come on but that front left headlight would blink. I can also hear a clicking sound when this is happening.

My 2001 mitsubishi galant has been leaking very bad on both the driver and passanger side ever since I got it. I not only have to fold my pant legs when I ride in my car but it is also growing mold, which can't be healthy. It also has never had good exterior lighting. My headlights always seem dim and they point upward rather than at the road where they belong.

2006 mitsubishi galant, 109,777 miles: driving home through the middle of the sonoran desert in southern arizona at 11:30pm my galant electrically died. My alternator, battery, engine control module, electric distribution module, passenger side air bag, head lights, radio all went dead. Dealer found three power cables to the airbag system that run under the carpet on passenger side of the transmission hump had shorted out because three protrusions on a body weld worked through the insulation and shorted all power to ground. If this happened on the center lane on the freeway at rush hour I could have been killed possibly along with other drivers.
