| Turned heat on and heard a ratteling noise under dash, when heat came on noise stopped. turned heat on a week later, nothing, only cold air. independent mechanic says heater core, after replacing thermostat and coolant sensor. dealership says heater control valve, either way, with seeing how many people are complaining about the same thing, there is clearly a problem at the manufacturing level. maybe mitsubishi should look at doing something like accepting full responsibility and repairing these cars. with the economy what it is there are few people who are able to afford this expense, myself included. somebody please help us! why should the consumer always get the short end of the stick? | |||

| I purchased my 2003, mitsubshi, galant 1 1/2 years ago and i'm having problems with the paint fading on the doors and the hood of the car. after 1 year of having the car it started to fade. my car is a black mitsubshi and with this being a black car the fading really stands out. | |||

| In the late winter of 2011 my car heater began to make strange noises then would work fine. soon after that happened, the heat stopped working. only cold air would push through the system. i understand that the ac is not considered a necessity, but i beg to differ on heat, considering our technological state. a heater keeps windows defrosted and clear of humidity that would otherwise cloud vision or worse, completely hinder total visibility. the idea of having heat in a car seems like a luxary but, in reality it is really a basic driving need. there is absolutely no excuse as to why a consumer should pay $20,000, brand new, for a car thats heater is all too often broke before 60,000 miles. the cost of repair can easily cost $1000, due to the labor. there have been accounts of them breaking again, one year later. the heater system needs to be researched and addressed in the 03' galants. it keeps the windows clear so consumers can safely drive their car. | |||

| I was with my son leaving a store, while it was 38 degrees outside. after we got in the car and i turned on the heater, it began making a fluttering sound under the dash as if the vents were opening up. with the knob all the way to the red position and the other knob in the window defrost position, i waited for the windows to defrost and the heat to make the car warm. the windows never defrosted and the heat never came on. i had to drive home with the window down in the cold, and my son freezing in the back seat. i had it checked out and the mechanic told me this is a very popular problem with this car. | |||
