Wow that sounds bad. Did u check before buying if that car was in a accident? Some wrecks are superficially fixed, titles washed, sold to unaware owners and then problems start. Have a reputable technician at ure near Mitsubishi dealer inspect ure vehicle. Run a Carfax report ASAP!!! Go take ure Galant to a Mitsubishi dealer. Dont jeopardize ure security and life driving a unsafe car. And i mean any make and model. It could happen to anyone and any type of car.

I'm also having the same exact problem with my heater. Did you ever find out what was wrong with yours?

bagladie, I had that problem on an 03 Galant. Your best shot is to take it to a dealer. The problem is the Heater control valve is controlled by a small motor. This motor is located in a dumb location. Not easy to get to. It will probably cost between $225 and $300, just guessing. It is a problem that Mitsu should be well aware of.

I have an 03 Galant. AC just stopped working (not good in Oklahoma). Compressor never turns on, low side pressure is good, fuse is good, swapped relays around. The AC indicator light is on. Any suggestions on where to go from anyone.

Sounds like either a ball joint or control arm bushing issue. You need to get it to a front end shop ASAP!!

thanks! i just got new control arms for the back. but then i took it to another shop and he told me that the guy put two right ones on each side instead of left and right control arms. Is it possible to have both same side control arms put on?
thanks! let me know please!

I have a 94 Mitsubishi Galant 4cyl. when driving at times it'll down shift on it's on. I think it might be a shift sensor but I'm not sure.
