Galant 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,000 miles
Brake failure when you stop the brakes scrub I have receipts showing that the I have to continue to have the brake inspected and also have to slam very hard when trying to stop the car. The noise when you are stopping the car is very loud and contact the manufacturer and was told nothing they can do due to no warranty. Also, there is no signal indicating when the car needs oil, no check engine comes on, front lights blew a week after buying the car and replace it several times and continue to blow, the same brake light blew again and contact Mitsubishi and ask them about it and they told they will charge me to fix it. When pulling up the brake in the car no light indicating that the brake light is on. My fan for the ac stop working and now when I drive I can hear the ac sounds like it is going to blow when you turn it on.
