“I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Galant and have had it in the shop repeatedly for the front suspension, brakes, electrical problems and now I'm having transmission problems and lots of engine noise.

NHTSA complaint #10209667, filed 2007-11, 8,800 miles“The contact stated the steering was over reacting causing the vehicle to be very difficult to control while making left or right turns at 65 MPH.
