I own a green 99 mitsubishi galant and the clear coat is coming off causing my car to look like it has alligator skin it started on the roof and has now spread to the trunk and hood. i called mitsubishi to see if they had any complains about the paint and i was told no. the operator then asked what state i live in and when i told her that i live in texas, she told me that i should have expected to have paint problems with my vehicle because the texas sun is so harsh. i have also been involved in 3 accidents in the vehicle and my airbags have never deployed. i also have a problem keeping wheel cover on all it takes is a slight bump in the road and off they come. this year model also has major problems with the rotors warping. *jb | |||

Both airbags failed to deploy, extensive front end damage on 07/06/00. problem # 2 front disc brakes have always made a grinding noise and front end has a vibration. car was taken back to dealer a couple of months after purchase, front brake shoes were replaced and rotors turned(not covered by warranty). this failed to fix problem, i have since learned to live with it(can't afford to have it fixed). note: i believe you may have a recall on my third problem with this vehicle, although i have not received a recall notice from the manufacturer, my car loses power to my accessories(radio, air conditioning,etc.). | |||
