2004 Mitsubishi Galant Consumer Reviews

Blah!

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant DE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I like the way it drives and it's strong as can be for a non-turbo 4 cyl, but pray to God for guidance if you need to do much more than change the oil or air filter. This is my 2nd Mitzu and my last ever. Parts are hard to come by and expensive! My wife got it in 2009 and in 2011 before 80,000 miles it needed a head gasket, 2 struts and plates, front axle and two 02 sensors. Parts only avalible from Mitsubishi on all but the 02 sensors. Fortunately my mechanic works at a junk yard by day and stripped the heck out of a wreck and we were able to get about $2,000 in parts for about $500.

Worst Car Experience in my life!

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I bought the 2004 Galant six years ago and have had nothing but costly issues with this car. For one, the parts are usually very expensive and most shops will not have them on hand. For special parts you have to order them from Japan and can only order on Tue and Thursdays and it takes about a week to get them in. The major issue of all the issues I have had is with the brakes. Have had 5 brake jobs in the last year and a half. Have had the belt break, the power steering pump go out, had to get the alignment done several times and now I am having an issue either shocks are blown or sway bar link needs replacement. The car looks nice, but it has been a NIGHTMARE!!

Wish I'd chosen another car

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant LS V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I just got my Mitsubishi Galant 2 months ago (used) and thank God I got the extended warranty with it! I just took it in to dealership last Tuesday and the ABS sensors weren't showing on the dash. They ran into needing more parts and I don't expect it back until end of this week (almost a two week repair!). Thank God for the courtesy car I am able to use. I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come with this car. I loved it at first but this isn't good two months into a loan! I hope to trade it in as soon as that opportunity comes up. It wasn't great in the snow so I bought two snow tires for the front which did make a difference. The dealership has been helpful I must say.

Decent Nice Car

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant GTS V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

This is my 1st Mitsubishi. It's a nice car, decent and I enjoy driving it. I've had A/C problems way too much and the back seating is kind of tight. I would recommend this car for a 1st timer, or a commuter car, poor gas mileage, although I do like this car, I will not be buying another one nor will I be buying any other Mitsubishi.

Should have better reliability

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant LS V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I owned this car for a 5.5 years. The car got 5 years factory warranty. During the 5 years I've got broken the alarm button, A/C and oxygen sensor. Dealership has fixed that for no cost to me. After 5 years I've got broken the second oxygen sensor and two rear windows. It was unexpected to me and I decided to get rid of the car.

"LEMON" is an understatement!

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

We purchased our Galant in 2006. The look of it really appealed to us. We loved it at first, but things went downhill. We have had squeaky brakes since we got it, the mechanics on the rear driver side window broke causing the glass to fall into the door, and our air conditioner has broken SIX times! We live in the desert so to go without air is NOT an option. We have put more money into fixing the air than our car is even worth. We paid way too much for it and the value decreased too much too fast. We hate it so much but are stuck with it! We have met 3 people with the same year and all 3 have had the same exact problems. I would never buy one again and I was very disappointed.

Solid Choice

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

The Galant is a fun, competent, reliable ride to the Accord and Camry, plus less expensive. I bought my 2004 Galant in November of 2008 and have not had any issues since, other than regular maintenance (brakes, oil, tires, etc). It has all the bells & whistles u can get on used car for less - sunroof, leather seats, seat warmers, etc. Max Madsen also has great service coupons as well as great service! If you can't have your dream car (Honda, Acura), go with the Galant.

2004 Galant

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

My Galant has had issues for the last 2 years. I bought it brand new in 2004, and was pleased until recently. My blower on the air conditioner/heater has stopped working and my engine light has come on because there is a vacuum leak related to the gas line. My husband has a 2004 Endeavor, and its transmission has gone out. We will never buy anything from Mitsubishi again, and we would really like to send them back since we still owe on both of them and they are worth nothing to us. I am now driving a 1980 Oldsmobile that is more reliable than both of our Mitsubishi's!!!!

2004 Galant ES Bought at 45k miles

Vehicle

2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I bought a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES in July 2009 from a Mitsubishi Dealership (Schaumburg, IL). I had a fantastic experience with the dealer by the way. The car was at 45k miles and 1-owner when I purchased. Good used-car bargain. Came with great features including powered sunroof, infinity audio system, 17" alloy wheels and leather strapped steering wheel. Excellent control and driving performance. Low on the mileage (I get around 22 mpg city and highway mix). Haven't used in snow yet... hopefully it will drive well. Love the exterior and the looks.
