Defective rear door lock assemblies; both sides. I have replaced with other used parts and those parts consistently failed too. I have found four assemblies, on other used Galants, and they have all failed. I am aware that new parts would have been ideal, however I believe that if these parts were manufactured to Mitsubishi's usually high standards, they would have been fine.

Door latches have flown open or unlatched by them selves while driving on both rear doors. The rear door do not stay closed anymore. Passengers could have fallen out of the vehicle.
