Windows spontaneously collapsed into door.

Mitsubishi has no customer service.

Dealers are slow to fix.

General Comments:

The Galant is barely an OK car, nothing great, definitely not worth the cost compared to other sedans in its class. But, where this company really loses is in customer service. They have limited hours, close early every day (says they are open until 4pm pacific, called 2 days in a row at 15 of 4pm Pacific and they already had their ‘we’re closed message on,’ thus leaving me stranded for another 18 hours).

When I had a case that needed their immediate attention, the case worker called me back 26 hours later (after I was promised they would reach out to me within 24 hours) and left a message. I called back with 30 minutes, only to get her voice mail and no further attempts on her part to reach me. Then the next day, no attempt until 3 hours into the work day, and I had to call to make contact.

When I did, my case simply needed Mitsubishi to step out and absorb $60 in cost for a rear window that spontaneously collapsed into the door, as there was no dealer within 1.5 hours of my house, so I could have a mechanic diagnose the problem, so the dealer could have the parts I needed when I made the hike to get it fixed, so I didn’t have to take 2 days off to get this fixed. They refused to step out, and said they would rather lose me as a customer.

The supervisor refused to get on the phone with me, guess I was no longer worth their time or effort. Now to make matters worse, the dealer has only one Mitsubishi mechanic, and he was off that week. So I have an open window for over a week now that is exposed to the elements and an easy target for theft. Way to go Mitsubishi, you really know what it takes to care for your customer after they buy your car.

I am counting down the days to the end of my lease, so I can drop this POS off and never have Mitsubishi in my life again.

BTW, a similar thing happened with my Subaru 2 years ago where I needed them to step out of their warranty ‘rules’ as I was in a tight spot like I am now with Mitsubishi, and they really served me well, gave me a loaner car for 3 days while the warranty work was happening, and gave me a certificate for a free oil change. Subaru has my loyalty, and is my first stop after this lease is over!

This car is running great. Except for the RUST on both back quarter panels on the car. Even though there is a 7 or 8 year warranty on this car for rust, Mitsubishi or the dealer will not fix the rust. I even stop and looked at other 2007 Galant for sale at used car lots and find two other car with the same rust spots. Who buys a new car with a warranty for it to just rust away after a year. This is not right.

Faults:

Well when I got the car the satellite radio antenna was not connected... probably a factory error, but other than that nothing. Still early though.

General Comments:

The car is awsome all around. This MIVEC V6 is no slouch pushing 258 hp from its stock engine. Handles well in corners. Has all the buttons and whistles of a luxury car, but still has a sporty look. The only negative is the turning radius is not that good, but so far I would buy it all over again if I had to.
