problem #6

Jan 011999

Galant

  • miles
Both airbags failed to deploy, extensive front end damage on 07/06/00. Problem # 2 front disc brakes have always made a grinding noise and front end has a vibration. Car was taken back to dealer a couple of months after purchase, front brake shoes were replaced and rotors turned(not covered by warranty). This failed to fix problem, I have since learned to live with it(can't afford to have it fixed). Note: I believe you may have a recall on my third problem with this vehicle, although I have not received a recall notice from the manufacturer, my car loses power to my accessories(radio, air conditioning, etc.).
