Vehicle report
2010 MITSUBISHI GALANT
This model year
What the record shows
The 2010 Mitsubishi Galant is a midsize car, and the 27th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1984 to 2012.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S4) and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 24 mpg.
The federal record holds 9 owner complaints, 1 safety recall and 36 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
