1999 Mitsubishi Galant Suspension Problems

“Thermostat stuck causing engine overheating. Also, AC runs cold and then warm in city driving. On the highway it is cold. A severe vibration occurs in city driving with the air conditioner on also. I have to turn the air off to make it quit. I contacted the dealer about both of these problems and because it is not under 36k miles they will not do anything else about it.”

“My Galant has had wheel vibration problems since I purchased it brand new in 2000. I took it to the dealership a countless number of times to figure out what the problem was. They always told me that it needed to be balanced and that they would replace the rotors, pads and bushings on the front passenger wheel. I still had the wheel vibrations and continued to argue with them about the problem while loosing time at work and spending my weekend mornings and afternoons at the dealership. …”

“I noticed a vibration during brake application and at highway speeds. I had the tires rotated, then balanced then front rotors turned, then front rotors replaced, then front wheels re-balanced. I was then told of a new service bulliten covering the front end lower swing arm replacement. After working on my vehicle an entire day (following waiting a month to get the part and schedule mx) I was told that the car already has the new bushing and they did not know what was wrong with it. …”

“There is a violent vibration of steering wheel when vehicle is traveling above 50 MPH. All recalls have been repaired in vehicle, front suspension was redone, replaced lower control arms/balance dand rotated on numerous occasions. Dealership just replaced front tires, and stated that tires were causing vibration. Please provide any additional information/attachments.”

“Front passenger's seat belts would not retract but half way & then lock up. Would not retract to original position after locking up. Vehicle would also shake when brakes are applied. Vehcle drifts hard to the right at any speed. The tires needed alignment. Had taken vehicle to dealership only once for problems.”
