Consumer Description

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2003 MITSUBISHI BLACK GALANT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS GARAGE-KEPT. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I STARTED NOTICING THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE STARTED TO FADE/OXIDIZE. I REPORTED THIS TO MITSUBISHI AND THEY DID NOTHING. I DID MY RESEARCH AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER GALANT OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT WASN'T EVEN A MONTH AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS PAID OFF THAT THE PAINT STARTED TO FAINT. FIRST ON THE ROOF, THEN ON THE HOOD, NOW IT'S SPREADING LIKE A RASH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND MITSUBISHI WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
