Since purchase of 2002 Mitsubishi Galant have had numerous problems with squeaking brakes, rotors replaced twice since purchased 7/05. Was told by dealer that squeaking was from driving habits; nothing wrong with brakes. Had to take vehicle to private mechanic. Also, problems with air conditioning. Hot air blows out bottom vents by floor. Air doesn't get cold either. Have had vehicle air conditioner charged both last spring and also this spring. Within 2 weeks air only gets semi-cool and floor vents blow really hot air at all times. This vehicle is a disgrace. More trouble than enjoyment. Only good thing is appearance and style. Mitsubishi has had numerous complaints about both the brakes and air conditioning on their 2002 galantes. Poor quality automobile.

Heat is not working in 2002 Mitsubishi Galant. Replaced thermostat and flushed coolant system. Still no heat. Heater has mad a buzzing noise when turning on for past two years. Now this year no heat. I saw that many people have had this problem on Mitsubishi forum website. If this is such a common problem there should be a recall. I have a 2 year old daughter and I need heat in the winter. I would like to request that there be a recall on this problem.
