Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We have a 2003 mitsubishi galant and after only 3 winters the heating core has gone out. this is ridiculous!! especially since this car has extended coolant and nothing needs to be done to this car for at least 5 years. the auto repair service i used replaced the heating core only to find out that the heater control motor valves were not opening up which caused the heater core to go bad. from my understanding the mitsubishi dealer where the parts came from keep these in stock because this is happening quite frequently in these cars. this is $1400 worth of parts and labor. this should definitely not happen to a car that is only 4 years old. *tr
