#2311 of 2438 2003 Galant ES 4 cyl 48k miles by milkyway1 Nov 06, 2007 (9:04 pm)
Question:   Owners manual recommends that the timing belt on this Galant be replaced at 60k miles. What are your experiences? Do you guys think I can take chances up-till 90K (as it is recommended on Toyota Camry)? And what other things should be done along with the timing belt?   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: 1racefan (Nov 07, 2007 10:26 am)

Replying to: milkyway1 (Nov 06, 2007 9:04 pm) I wouldn't push it to 90K, but that's just me.   You should replace the water pump along with the timing belt. You should also replace any drive belts (these are belts that your car has in addition to the timing belt). The reason for replacing the drive belts is because they have to be removed anyways to access the timing belt. So, by having these replaced, tell the mechanic that you are willing to pay for the new drive belts themselves, but not for additional labor, as he would have to remove, and re install the old belts anyways.

I have a 2002 galant as of the other day the heat stopped working, however the blower still works but is only blowing cold air.   Does anyone know what the problem could be or have you ever had this issue?

Replying to: jonathan1980 (Nov 08, 2007 7:55 am) I have an 2002 Galant and I had the same problem starting last spring. It was summer in Michigan so I didn't worry about not having heat at that point. This fall I had the thermostat changed and that did not fix the problem. Two weeks after I had that replaced my car starting overheating and leaking coolant. I had to have it towed to a local repair garage. I just recieved a call that my heater core needed to be replaced and that it was leaking. I was told that it should take care of my heat problem and the overheating problem. Good luck, I would recommend to start saving up, this repair is going to cost me $855.00. The whole dash has to be removed to get to the heater core.

#2316 of 2438 fading exterior paint by jojo45 Nov 13, 2007 (10:35 pm)
I purchased a silver 2004 Mitsubishi Galant and the paint is fading so extensively, it looks as though the car is 15 years old. I am a mother of three teenage boys and money is hard to come by. When I can finally afford to buy a car that was built in the same century ( 2007) that I am living in I EXPECT the automobile body paint not to have fading paint...expecially when the car was built in 2004.   I know I am embarrassed to drive my car in public., however, I put all my savings into buying this car., not knowing there was an external paint problem.    The only request that I have with Mitsubishi is that they reimburse all of the Galant owners, that have fading exterior body paint issues...a credit of a minumum of $1500.00 with customer's choice of colors to paint their vehicle at their nearest automobile body painting shop to have these vehicles repainted in a proper manner. If need be pay for rental vehicles for the duration of the painting process.   The least the Mitsubishi Car manufacturer can do is get us a supreme exterior automobile paint ( especially without lead) on their expense.   I have never been so disappointed in an automobile as I have with my 2004 Galant.   Maybe someone has a conscience within the corporation to make this right. Not all of Americans have the money to repaint their vehicles due to corporate neglect...   What a shame that we ( Americans) have to fight to get what we pay for.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#2317 of 2438 why does the air system throw hot air by jojo45 Nov 13, 2007 (11:01 pm)
I would really like to know why my car throws hot air thru the circulation system ???? I have noticed sinced I've owned the car that the ventilation system blows hot air.. I really can't afford to run the air conditioning system year round.   It can be 40 degrees outside and the and controls "off" and the vents are still blowing hot air...WHY????? Abviously the air is coming from the engine... That should not be happening.   I would like Mitsubishi to come clean and recall all of these problems. The sooner the better....if they want their business to continue.   Does anyone know how to contact Mitsubishi directly????

Replying to: jonathan1980 (Nov 08, 2007 7:55 am) Have you had any luck with a repair? My 02 Galant is doing the same thing. I replace the thermostat but still no heat. Clendon

Replying to: devjules (Nov 12, 2007 12:31 pm) Anyone consider a class action suit against mitsubishi? My Galant is doing the same thing and it is a 2003! It should not be having trouble with heat or air. I might look into doing that!
