On 7gs we all know the automatic transmission is going to fail sooner or later. Also the IAC is another thing that seems to fail frequently as is the recirculating air motor behind the glove box. What typically goes bad on the 9gs?

Haven't had mine long but no problems so far on my 2010 SE.
No problems here on my 07 SE. Had it for 4 months
I have an 06 with 63k and I had only one problem... Window regulators.
I bought mine brand new in 2005. The only thing I've had go wrong is one of the 12 heat shields came loose so it was making a rattling noise. But that is more than likely due to the fact they were doing so much repair on the roads and they were so rough and bumpy. $20 bought the new clamp and paid to have it installed.
Other than that... no problems yet after 66k miles.
Treat your 9g good and baby her and she will last awhile.
07 Ralliart: Issues since purchase = NONE
Mitsubishi is known for heat shield noises. Mine does the same thing. I just have it clamped down and hope for the best.
Well the good news is that it's a simple and cheap fix.Quote:

The only other issue I have noticed is that the rubber pieces underneath my windshield are starting to drift out of position, and so I have had to take a screwdriver and stuff them back in place. This could be due to the fact that the car is not garage kept, and it gets pretty hot here in Alabama during the summer. Sooner or later, those rubber pieces start to go bad.
Other than that, it seems to be a good car. It grips the road better than any car I have ever had.
I work at mitsu. CEL po455 loose gas cap. P0401 egr flow= egr valve. Po421 i4=manifold cat v6=bank 1 cat.
Noise metallic draging noise = loose.heat.shield. i4. Creaking front end over speed bump = front lower control.arm.
The only problem I have had is the brake/shifter cable. I have to press the brake further down than normal to shift out of park. There's a recall for this but I never bothered to take it in to get replaced.
I have 5 of these cars.
Problems so far= one window regulator failed, window wouldnt open, warranty.
Outstanding build quality, best of any car I have ever owned.
2005 Gts 100 miles + (runs like new . . .)
2 Cosmetic Accidents
1 Cold Air Intake Upgrade
1 relay dead (not sure if this is relay or fuse, but radio/and all windows died, incl sunroof)
1 Service Light - O2 Sensor (BANK 1 SENSOR 2)
always use premium gas and always use synthetic oil.
getting new sparks, belts and complete workaround tune up in t minus 12 days.
Oil Pressure sending unit. Little bastard located on the head. Came on, but the car ran normal, so I called the dealership and they said OPSU for sure, its common. I replaced it and its still on =.= Damn little red light is annoying during the night but i've had my 04 DE for 8 months, put 10k on it so far and nothing. Perfect.
My friend the owner of the transport company of a taxi. He uses the 2006 9G 5 cars. Mileage 400.000+. Problem: in all cars. Stabilizer links 100.000 km, 2 cars - destruction of the radiator condenser A/C 200.000 km. 2 cars - replacement of the oil pressure sensor. 1 car - replacement of shock absorbers. the 3-car - replacement of catalysts 180.000 km. 9G - superreliable car. Camry, Теаnа, Sonata can't go 250.000+ they had to sell. .
about 100k miles and i have another clanking sound which now isnt coming from the heat shields. it's more from the water pump so i i now have to do my 120k maintenance early.
Sorry, that was interfering. Maybe it's not the water pump. Pay attention when there is a clang. If the flow of air in the cabin directed to the windshield and a clang front, this fault pump air conditioner. In the other direction of air flow clang disappears. If you send a file with audio recording, I will tell you about your problem. Sorry, if not helped you.Quote:

My nearest dealership is over an hour away from me. That's the reason I haven't bothered with the recalls. Mine also needs the catalytic converter recall performed as well. :(Quote:

NOTE: just regular maintenance , but with this car 1 maintenance is a must and thats the BELTS, be sure to change belts at around 60-65K miles and then just do your normal routine maintenance and car will last.
Both my rear door window regulators went bad and cause the window to drop. These plastic tabs go bad. I just pulled the door panels off and used vice grips to hold the window up on the track.
Oh and all 4 of my door panels had one push tab that would always get loose. The top outer one to be exact. Sometimes it would cause the panel to get stuck when trying to open the door. New hardware wouldn't work. I got creative and fixed it another way.
EGR valve problem...code 0401...replaced EGR valve, but the code came back after only 9k miles (Galant 2004 ES, 109k)
