problem #2

Galant

  • 150,000 miles
Defective rear door lock assemblies; both sides. I have replaced with other used parts and those parts consistently failed too. I have found four assemblies, on other used Galants, and they have all failed. I am aware that new parts would have been ideal, however I believe that if these parts were manufactured to Mitsubishi's usually high standards, they would have been fine.
