Between idle and suspension issues............. I will never buy another one the most unreliable cars ever made
LOL...
You obviously never owned anything else. You could always go out and buy a Toyota or Honda I suppose....
*sigh ban
Ha and what would you like us to do about this... you just dont know how to take good care of your car...get this guy out of here
That's fun..
I don't know but my G has always been there for me and I did the same for her.
This post makes me wonder why my G has been running 4 years strong without a single issue yet? Wait I bet I know:
If you love your ride it'll love you back...thats all there is to it
Lets burn all the Mitsus on the road!
Ok hunterclavel I very rarely get personally mad at people, but you are the most retarded, limp wrist, piece of dirt on this forum as of late. Every single one of your 66 posts since 2008 have been nothing but pure idiocy. I love every fucking ounce of my galant even though I had alternator blow on me fucking 2 weeks after I got the car and she has had motor mount issues and suspension issues. I fixed that shit and she keeps going every where I need her to in any condition. The suspension issues were my own doing as I hit a curb at 40 mph, but I put her in the garage and rebuilt her 3 months later.
You are not in any way shape or form a car enthusiast. Get the fuck out of here and go buy a fucking Honda and bring it to some Honda tech wh will tell you your fart can isn't big enough. Pce fucker go sell your G to someone who will care about it.
P.S. yes I did read all 66 of your post before I posted this, and you were asking a new question like every fucking month. USE THE SEARCH FEATURE YOU FUCKING NEWB and learn to do standard maintenance on your car.
My G is running strong since 05/2007 and proud of her.
Mines 11 years old and it's most major problem was a simple coolant leak...
You obviously fail at car care.
My GTI, which cost exponentially more to buy and maintain, blew the Galant out of the water in every aspect EXCEPT reliability. Who wants a DD that is always in the shop?
Left this with no looking back and now I don't have to worry about things like my 20+ intake sensors going bad every other week and running in limp mode, or my coil packs failing, or my pcv valve blowing and spraying oil all over my engine bay, or...my stock fuel pump not being able to keep up and giving me fuel cuts...or being pissed about a timeslip because it was over a 13.5...lol.

I've owned 4 mitsubishi's in ten years. All reliable, all safe. My first Galant saved my life, literally.

Though all you other people who've commented here don't need to get all rowdy about it. I should hand out one day bans and warnings to all who've acted immaturely in this thread...seesh.
IMO yeah my galant does have some issues, just like any car thats ten years old but you learn to work them out. this car is used and abused and is still kicking, not very hard but kicking. so instead of saying stuff like that work out your issues or take it to someone who can
Im with you man, I love my G and gone threw alot with my car ever since I got her. Every post I have seen from this guy has been worthless and stupid when you have all the info right on this forum already. We all take pride in what we do with our cars and I can tell you this...ever since I started working on my car and even the parts that needed fixing I have taken every joy in fixing it and will continue enjoying my baby. Mitsu for life!!!
And Hunterclavel be glad it is just suspension and idle issues, those are quite easily remedied. As electrical and other issues (that plague many other brands) don't happen on Mitsubishi's.
i've had my galant since 05 and the only thing i've ever had to change (that wasnt regular maintenance) was a valve cover. a whole $20 and about 10 minutes of work. the next car i get (which should be this year) is gonna be a evo i thought about a wrx but i've had almost no problems so far, so i gotta stick with mitsu. my galant is a 03 with about 93k miles on it. routine maintenance is key.
.. im on my 3rd mitsu. had a lancer for close to 5 years with no problems, traded it for a new eclipse .. totaled that and walked away without any injuries. then got the galant.
i love mitsu. ive actually never seen anyone talk like this about mitsu. especially from someone who owns one.
We have had members act like this before usually after they buy some abused pos as their first car or something. But I got mine at 72k miles in 07 its at 93k now and I hardly have to invest money besides my own interests into this car.
Proof of mitsu longevity, my old 1989 Montero 6g72 had 206k miles on it and it was the worse for wear, but it still hit the redline and shifted like nothing
where did the op hide?
I bought my Galant for $500 with 172K miles on it. I was fortunate to get it from the original owners who took pretty good care of it for the most part (except the black paint issue), I have sunk a lot of money into mine over the past year obviously for more performance. I have yet to drive the thing, but I know when I do it won't let me down.
Also have an 02 Lancer that was bought brand new, only issue I have had with it is the climate control knob snapped off (which is common for these), and a wheel bearing that needs to be replaced.
If you bought it brand new and had the issues, I would bitch. YOU BOUGHT IT USED
I beat my car up every single day I can and it's still running strong.
at least your throttle doesn't stick, there aren't recalls every 15 minutes, it's decently good on gas, and for it to have idle issues it has to start......
Lol routine maintenance is a bitch! Shit my car is 14 years old and the only major problem that wasn't routine was my iac going bad but a whole throttle body assembly was like 30bux. I pulled the engine apart after 190k and was supprised on how well it looked. I don't think I will ever buy any thing but a Mitsu they are great cars, but like anything mechanical its only good if it taken care of.
The only reason why my car isnt reliable is because of me. Its not that its unreliable its that its so addicting to modify it im always doing stuff to it....... So crash and burn all you want. Maybe your car was made on monday or friday.
wow
bet he'll be more pissed when he finds out how unreliable other cars are and wish he stuck w/ mitsu. My whole family has owned mitsu's for 25+ years now, and that's cuz we know how reliable they are and not overwhelming expensive.
I've owned 3 Galants, including one now and never had issues. Most reliable car I have ever owned. Not saying I didn't have small issues but nothing to not buy another one. Every car has issues. Maintenance and preventive maintenance had a lot to do with good performance and long years.
lol i hate all the issues wit my G too but hey its my car n its all i got 1 day i will get the money to make it ride smooth or i will learn enuff 2 fix it myself...sometimes i feel like givin up...like 2night when sum1 hit my car...but then u kno wat its my car n its part of me...if u dont like it u can jus go buy a volvo or somethin idk...also its my second galant and both had issues but from the previous owners didnt take care of it...i still love my shit anyway
<3 I love my G so much, but its my daily and I got to community college where no one can drive and there is not enough spaces to park. AS a result my rear quarter panel, hood, fender, and few other miscellaneous spots have dents and both my bumpers are scratched to shit.
My fiancee graduates from college next May so within the next 2 years our income should increase while I am going pre-med and the G can be parked in a nice warm locked garage where she will be rebuilt again.
lol dats the way to do it bro....me im still in high school and everybody already knows that if sum1 touches my car there somebodys face would be smashed in...my problem is i love my car and i drive to much...man i was driving n this dude parked 2 let his girl out the car so i went around n turned right this fool still lookin at his girl starts pullin foward...i cant honk my horn cuz one of the problems wit my g that the horn dont work so i stop cuz i see his still not lookin n he keeps rollin foward then he stops real quick n im thinkin damn that was close...5 mins later i go 2 get gas and i see that he grazed my door and fender like im not sure if i couldnt hear it cuz of my system but i there was no hard impact...man im maddd
mitsubishi's suck. wow. your clearly uneducated and dont know the first thing about cars. ive been beating on my G daily for 7 or 8 years now, ive crashed 3 times and she still runs like a champ and tracks in a straight line. and its cause i know how to take care of her and she takes care of me in return. anyway thats my rant about this.
I love my G, got 181,000 miles and i put 11,000 on it myself. Got it from my aunt who lives in the high desert in Cali and drove down to LA and back everyday. I know my ride took it rough before i got it and she still sounds and runs the same way it did almost brand new. It's my last year in high school and let me tell you it's like everyones cars are falling apart but not mine. I don't have a single problem and i drive pretty rough.
When i get some more cash she's gonna be dropped, rims, headers and exhaust :biggrin:
I bought my 2003 Galant ES V6 in March 2004 for $13500 with 10k miles.
Ive now got 169k on the speedo. And other than some minor problems here and there, the car has run great. Most expensive repair to date was $800 (water pump, timing belt tensioner, idler pulleys, belt tensioner pulley, serpentine belt). However, I do have a small leak in my radiator. Just discovered that yesterday. But other than that, Im still winning the game.
