If you mean there's a dash light that's green outlining a key, that's the security system. It should light for a few seconds when you arm the system with the button on the key fob. If that light isn't going out, the alarm probably hasn't been turned off.
 
If you don't have the fob, try unlocking the car doors with the key before starting the engine. In my '99 that does turn off the alarm.

Possible Transmission Issue.... Any Ideas? by stormchaser81

I'm a recent owner of a 2001 Galant and what I've noticed lately has me concerned and so I'm in search of answers. Just a little history about the car I bought the car about a year ago March 07' when it had 89,000 miles on it, it is now April 08' and it has 103,500 miles on it. The previous owner had not hinted of any possible transmission issues but as of late I've noticed in the past few months a particular slipping happening between the first and second gears when applying the gas pedal. When I take my foot off the pedal and let it idle down then immediately reapply when its transitioning into 2nd it slips with a minor jolt its less likely to happen when I apply the gas slowly. However today while driving on a local highway I set the accelerator at 70mph where it slipped again when it never had in the past at higher speeds. I don't believe the car has had its transmission fluid replaced so I'm assuming thats something I should pursue in hopes that it will solve the problem rather then outright replacing transmission. To anyone who could provide feedback I would gratefully appreciate it!

Sorry if this is too late, just did not see your question earlier.
I have a 2001 Galant ES with 135K. At around 90K I had the routine ATF replaced at a local shop. Quite later, at around 99K at about 70 MpH the transmission slipped out of gear and the "Check Engine" light came on. Took it to a dealer, and according to them the reason was a substandard transmission fluid. Replaced the fluid and haven't had any issues ever since. What I've read is that Mitsu transmissions are quite picky regarding the fluid and only the particular brand specified must be used. The word was that most of the shops use a generic fluid and add stuff to bring it to specs, but not sure how true that is, though is sounds logical.
So, I agree with you - go to a dealer and have them flush the tranny. It's quite possible that would do it, and probably the transmission was not harmed.
Good luck!

I bought my 07 Galant Ralliart brand new in Jan. 07. I absolutely love it.
However, I just recently noticed sidewall separation on the front left tire. (Goodyear Eagle RS-A P235/45R18). Any problems with yours?

Our tires were all changed by CarMax. My daughter destroyed one by limping home on a flat. $175!!!!!!
What color is yours?
Been happy with the car/

Mine is Sunset Pearlescent (orange).
As for the tires, I found that Goodyear has offered silent recalls on these tires on the Nissan Maxima's. I spoke with a manager at our local Goodyear dealer, who stated that all four tires may be replaced, but I need to contact Goodyear's customer relations department.
