1994 Mitsubishi Galant Steering Problems

“The ball joint to driver's side broke while I was driving down road at 50mph, the car veered to left and skidded about 500 feet before I could get vehicle to stop. When I did the driver tire was perpendicular to the car and the base of motor was resting on the ground. After mitsibushi repaired the ball joint and half shaft that also broke.

“Lower lateral arms and tie rods had to be replaced at 35,100 miles. When passing another vehicle at 60 MPH, the transmission went into neutral - very dangerous situation since another vehicle was approaching in the other lane. Also vehicle downshifts intermittently on a frequent basis. Power window regulator on right front passenger side failed at 35,100 miles.”
