    Old thread but I just read it and am happy to see that my car was not involved in any of the recalls.

    So I went to the dealership saturday, and scheduled an appointment. The Mitsu guy was busy so they said call him up today. Well I did, and I got some weak ass news.

    My primary concern is the 99V305 recall, with the faulty multi-function levers....my left signal doesn't self-cancel and my high beams come on if it slips the slightest bit into a forward position or whatever (hot summer day, expansion.....I had to jump the car several times in the past).

    Anyways, the guy ran my car through the system and said the turn signal lever had already been replaced, 12/03. I bought the car used in 6/04. So I ask: is there any kind of warranty? Yes-12,000 miles (1 year)....well that's just fucking wonderful.

    Windshiled wiper lever- COMPLETELY rocketed forward and I'm guessing a spring inside is busted, thank goodness my wipers still work but the washing function does not. This is covered under the recall, it has never been replaced, but he said it isn't showing up on there so he can't do much.

    So I think I'll call Customer Care or whatever number he gave me, hell I just wanna get through to some part of headquarters and let them know I'm not paying for broken shit they knew would break....it's an inconvenience AND SAFETY HAZZARD to me (flashing the highs unknowingly at a driver....omgwtf?!?! accident?)

    YEAH, so that's my rant and hopefully I can get things figured out. I'm tired of dealing with two crapped out switches.

    I believe it depends on the package, but it was part of the Infinity Sound. Perhaps the GTZ and LS models, 02-03?

    The center on my 03 blew out the first weekend I owned the car, I disconnected it. I've seen replacements go for up to $100 for stock replacement, which is crazy, especially if it's the same exact speaker. It'll just blow again.

    Disco'd!

    Don't know if anyone else here has this problem but my horn comes on and stays on on it's own the only way to stop it is to pull the fuse out and less the 6 months ago a guy down the street had the same thing happen to his galant at like 4 a.m mine is an 01 I don't know what year his is.

    I'm simply replying to this so I can remember to call that number sometime this week and check and see if my car's in the clear. It's always nice to double check lol

    I just seen this thread and i think my car was in one of the electrical recalls. None of my exterior / interior lights will work without the key being in the turned on position. My interior dome light wont come on at all. Even if the car is on. Hopefully its not too late for a dealer to fix this

    All recalls must be performed by the dealership at no cost, at any time, by federal law.

    Thanks for the info . That's good to know hopefully its a defect on the recall list that is making my electric problems happen

    Had a problem with the dome light on my 2000 V6 Galant. The car just died while driving in commute traffic. Had to have it towed to the dealer. Low and behold it ended up being the dome light failure. After the dealer replaced it the car ran fine. Got to love Mitsubishi Engineers.
