This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Ball joint damage is due to bad boots. I would like to have these ex-rayed to prove their incompetance to do their job protecting the ball jts. The misalignment, pinching, hairline cracks or holes have caused the destruction on the control arms and ball jts. These problems put strain on the brake system thus causing rotors to warp and wear out. I would like all documentation on all Galants with these problems and their results (20 susp., 25 brake, & 17 power train on your complaint issuance via net). I would like all other complaint data via telcons or written complaints in these matters. I know that this is an injustice to me as a consumer, in my heart and soul I know that this is wrong. Can you assist me in obtaining recall letters (including but not limitied to #'s 99V0660001 and 99V066002)please and explain to me how a recall on a boot can be established without the cooperative parts as well. Please send a copy O this complaint back to my home address and email and include please all O these notes as a hard copy. Do you also maintain any records O small claims cases, independant law suits or court actions O any kind relating to this or my pursuit O justice. I am willing to go to any lengths to resolve this injustice including contact with the local district atty, and the state atty. General. Also, I implore you to send this data to your associate administrator or saety assurance. I'm sorry about the lacking letter between D & G in my correspondence to you. Thank you in advance or your support, assistance and any guidance you can provide me with. Sincerely, vicki beaumont.
Brake rotors wear out every 2-3000 miles. This has occurred 3 times. Dealers are uncertain why this is occurring.these are non ABS brakes. Owner is very concerned about problem.
Consumer experiences excessive wear of the front left and rear brake pads and rotors. Also, the brake pads and rotors need replacing every 2000 miles. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has replaced the rotors/pads and adjusted the brakes.
