I PURCHASED A '99 MITS GALANT FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR HER 16TH B'DAY IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. SHE CONTINUALLY COMPLAINED OF STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION WHICH I DID FEEL ON THE COUPLE OF OCCASIONS I DROVE THE VEHICLE. IN LATE 2005 SHE WENT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STEER LEFT. SHE SUBSEQUENTLY HIT A RETAINING WALL. I DID NOT TURN IT INTO MY INSURANCE SINCE IT WAS PURELY COSMETIC. SHE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE VERY LITTLE. SHE SAVED HER MONEY UNTIL LAST MONTH WHEN SHE HAD THE FRONT END REPAIRED. WITHIN WEEKS OF GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK SHE AGAIN WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OFF OF OUR STREET AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STEER LEFT AGAIN. SHE HIT A TRAILER AND PUSHED IT INTO A FENCE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS TIME SHE WAS INJURED AND HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. DUE TO THIS 2ND OCCURRENCE I DECIDED TO CHECK FOR RECALLS THAT DEAL WITH THE STEERING ON THESE VEHICLES. I FOUND RECALL #00V225001 DATED 8/10/2000 THAT DESCRIBES HER PROBLEMS PERFECTLY. I DON'T UN

IN 2003 I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PAINT, AND WAS TOLD ONLY IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE 3 YEAR, 36,000 MILE WARRANT, AND OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES HAVE SEEN THE PAINT DISAPPEAR. I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES IF MITSUBISHI WAS REPAIRING THE PAINT, M AND WAS TOLD ONLY IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE 3 YEARS, 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. IN OCTOBER 2006 I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THIS TIME PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER. AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS THE RESPONSE THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT MITSUBISHI WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX THE PAINT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS TOO OLD, AND THAT NO OTHER CO
