What owners wrote
Mold had developed around the doors and windows of the vehicle and caused a horrendous smell. The mold spores caused the consumer to become sick for four months. The dealer was notified.
We purchased a new 2001 mitsubishi galant in december 2001. It is black. The car is now 3.5 year sold and the paint is turning white. It started to have a problem 3 months after purchase when the clear coat started to crack. They re-painted the roof. Now is is over the mileage for coverage under the warranty. The paint is fading so fast and turning white. Mitsubishi is giving us the run around. We have even contacted corporate and they push us off on someone regional that continues to give us the run around.
