Mitsubishi Endeavor — Recalls, Reliability, Specs & VIN Decoder

My vehicle was moving at 30 mph when a car suddenly crossed the path causing to hit the other vehicle on the passenger side. The incident caused some visible frontal body damage and trip to hospital with son (seated at back seat during accident). The airbag did not deploy but thankfully seatbelts did the job. I was in the assumption that airbags were made to deploy during these kind of accidents. Was the impact not strong enough or defective airbag? *tr

The dealer who sold this vehicle to me a few months ago should know what they are selling to customers prior to sell because in this case someone could have lost their lives. I called the dealer and he said it is my problem now and does not want to give me license plates from deposit owed which will all the issues and potential out of pocket costs plates should be given to me in good faith. *tr

This vehicle has a potential manufacturer defect in the rear window regarding the defroster. After repeated use of the defroster heating up the window and cooling down the elements in the glass contracted and expanded and shattered the back window spontaneously causing an over $600 repair.

I just bought this vehicle used in may. I noticed that the carpet gets soaked, actually a puddle of water underneath the drivers side feet. The floorboard and carpet get saturated and needs to be vacuumed at least one time a week.the water soaks my shoes and is a distraction while driving.the dealer blew out the ac line and vacuumed the water out, but said they are unable to do anything else with it

My door handles on the driver side and the back seat passager on the driver side door handles just broke off. My car is kept in a garage and when i went to the door to open both doors the handles just broke off. Just recently i saw the same make and model as my car and both handles were broke also. I asked the driver and stated that the door handles just broke off.

The drivers side exterior door handle just snapped off in my hand. *tr

There is a very bad leak on the drivers side floorboard. The carpet is soaked. When stepping on the brakes (only hard enough to hear it) you can hear the water swishing under the floorboard. It has caused the car to now smell musty and the floor is eventually going to fall in. *tr

The motorswitch for the fans on the radiators keep shorting out and starting fires.... *js

I was driving along the highway, i smelled what seems to be burning plastic, i saw smoke from under my glove compartment, suddenly my a/c stop working. Upon inspection i notice that the electrical plug to the fan motor looked charred/burnt. I removed it for safety reasons. I read over the internet that is a common problem with these vehicles, the item should be recalled. *tr

I was driving the vehicle home from work when i smelled electrical wire burning through out the car. It was coming from under the glove compartment. I pulled off the road to investigate. The connector to the a/c & heater motor was charred. During internet research i discovered that this is very common occurrence. What people have said on-line was that it was a poor design, thus the connecting pins are too close which causes them to heat up and char the connector. If i would have had a new paper or backpack in that area, it could cause a fire while driving resulting in a fatal accident. I tried reconnecting, that part i used was charred a second time. I believe it should be recalled by the manufacturer. *tr

Mitsubishi endeavor 2004, 48k miles, moving at approx 40 miles per hour, passenger front door panel near the lock and window switches began smoking and quickly filled the entire vehicle with smoke sufficient to obscure all vision.

The vehicle struck a parked vehicle. When the vehicle finally stopped, she noticed that the gear was still in drive.

I own a 2006 mitsubishi endeavor which was purchased 2 months ago. On june 1st i was running an errand, got out of my vehicle ran into the mall only to come out 5 minutes later to find my car had rolled into the back of a 1994 corvette. When approached by the corvette owner he proceeded to tell me i left my car in drive. I responded by saying, no, i have my keys in my hand, that's not possible. When i looked at the gearshift it was in drive. I know that this is partically my fault, however, i should have never been able to take my key out of the iginition without in being in park. I did some research and found that the 2007 eclipse was recalled for this same problem. When i approached mitsubishi in calif about this i was told that's what i have insurance for and to take it to the local dealership to prove there was a defect - even though i had photos - upon taking it to the local dealship - i was told they couldn't help me since i didn't purchase my vehicle with them. The dealership also told me it's possible my vehicle was wrecked - i ran a carfaxs report proving otherwise. I have yet to hear back from mitsubishi corporate and am looking into consulting an attorney. All i want is my vehicle fixed - all the dealership has to do is check the ignition interlock cable and replace it if necessary and they won't even consider that. Instead they want to take my car apart to see if it was previously wrecked before they will consider fixing anything- again my vehicle wasn't wrecked. So now when i park i make sure my e brake is on and i check to see if i can remove my key and 9 out of 10 times i can while my car is still in drive. So if anyone out there can offer any information to help me proceed i would greatly appreciate it.

I was pulling into an apartment parking lot at 3 miles per hour or less applied brake and car surged forward. I applied more pressure to brake and the car surged again and would not stop. This caused me to crash into a unoccupied parked car which banged another unoccupied car parked next to it. All 3 cars were damage. My car and the car i hit sustained front end damage. The third car was scraped along the driver side door and rear panel. There was a witness to this accident that told the responding california chp officer that he saw my car experience two surges as i slowly entered the parking. He also informed the office that he saw my break lights on before the first surge happened. Updated 02/24/16*lj updated 12/12/2017*cn

1. My 2005 endeavor has 11,000 kms, covered by the warranty (it has less than a year since i bought it. Lst friday i was driving normally to my work when i felt thumps and if it were pulling back and forth. I don't know how but i managed to park, and when i did something under it ripped off and a huge spot of oil appeared. It leaked all the transmission fluid on the pavement. This could have been lethal if it were on a road, according to the mechanic. Now mitsubishi refuses to recognize warranty. The cause was a broken hose of transmission fluid which caused the leakage. *nm

I parked my 2004 endeavor in the garage like i do every day when i return home. I put the car in park and removed the ignition key. I took some groceries from the passenger seat, closed the passenger door and went inside. I came out a few minutes later to retrieve the rest of my groceries but the car was missing! I looked out the garage door (which was open) and saw my car crashed into the side of our neighbor's house across the street. When i approached the car i noted that the gear was in reverse! The back end of the endeavor was demolished. The neighbor's house was damaged along with the mailbox and pole and garden lights that the car ran over. *jb

Able to remove key from ignition while car is not in park. The car rolled backward out of a parking space while by son was getting out of the car. He was not injured but his vehicle almost hit another car traveling through the parking lot. *tr*jb

I was using an exit to merge into the highway and when i merged, the vehicle completely lost power. I could hear the engine working but no power to the vehicle. A semi almost totaled me but thank god it merged thanks to another driver. The rolled barely making it to the side of highway and found out the transmission blew out. I want to make this perfectly clear: i do routine maintenance conducted at professional shops for all oil changes and or other issues religiously and the miles on vehicle aren't high. In other words, i almost lost my life because of this with no working vehicle to add. This incident happened in a busy highway. No acceleration, reverses or anything else other than park. The mechanics told me that this model comes with a cheap filter that allows anomalies such as poorly made material from the suv or others to slowly get in the transmission. As stated before, i regularly keep up maintenance to this vehicle. I don't know how this happened but a good transmission all of a sudden died and i too almost lost my life from a semi doing 75 on a highway.

I have a 2006 mitsubishi endeavor. Two months ago the car turned off while i was driving down the street. There were no warning lights to indicate there was a problem. Upon inspection it was discovered that my timing belt had broken. Mitsubishi refused to honor the warranty because they said that the belt broke due to the oil shield being moved during an oil change. The oil shield is next to the timing belt and it rubbed against it causing the belt to break. I have made complaints with the california dept of consumer affairs and with the mitsubishi organization. The situation is still under investigation, but i have a wonderful auto insurance service (automobile club of southern calif aaa) and they are repairing my car and investigating to determine who is really at fault and they are going to recover their funds from them. It was very disheartening to know that i did not do anything for this to happen, yet mistubishi refused to honor a warranty on a car that i had only had for 7 months and that only had 28000 miles on it. Needless to say i will be trading it in as soon as i get it back and will never buy another mitsubishi vehicle.*jb

My air conditioner keeps going out every year. I have own the vehicle 2 1/2 years. I am having to have the air conditioner fixed again ( that is the summer of 2013, & 2014). I have talked to other owners who are having the same problem. This is costing me around $400.00 every year. I would like someone to investigate and fix this problem. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Air conditioning water drains into the vehicle causing clogging and flooding of the drivers side floor the mileage is only115k. This causes bad odor,growth of microorganisms and could lead to accidents because the floor on the drivers side becomes slippery. Took it to the dealer but they said they have been receiving same complaints. They inspected it for 30 minutes and said looks like the problem has been fixed. Next day after using the air condition for about an hour the floor was flooded again. *tt

Air conditioning water recipient clogs causing flooding of the drivers side floor. It is the third time it happens to my mitsubishi endeavor 2005 suv., whose mileage is 55k. This causes bad odor,growth of microorganisms and could lead to accidents because of wet shoes. Additionally, unclogging the water recipient is expensive. *tr

Water leaking into driver side floorboard due to faulty a/c condensation seal at firewall on 2005 mitsubishi endeavor. *tr

The a/c drain tube leaks and causes water to pool up on the driver's side floorboard underneath the carpeting. I have had the vehicle looked at two times and all they can do is blow the tube out, which only temporarily fixes the problem. It is recommended to have the dash removed in order to get to the box where the debris is located to repair the seal. I don't have hundreds of dollars to have this done, nor can i do without my vehicle for several days! This should be made a recall because it becomes not only a safety hazard, but also a health hazard. The water makes the floorboard wet, causes the windows to fog up on the inside and causes the flooring under the carpeting to possibly become corroded. Plus, it causes mold to grow which makes my allergies flair up. So, mitsubishi if you read this, please consider recalling all endeavors to fix this problem!! *tr

I rear ended a truck at a lower speed - after bouncing off my steering wheel. I bounced back to watch my air bag come out slowly and start to inflate - probably a 10 sec process. I could of been seriously hurt !

The fuel filler pipe is leaking from behind the protection plate. I've contacted a local dealer and the Manufacturer and feel that I'm getting the run around as there is a previous recall for this same problem on the 2004 model, while mine is a 2010. I had it inspected prior to contacting Mitsubishi.

I really don't understand how used car dealership home town auto can sell you a car they know have an open recall on a vehicle but fail to let the american consumer know at the time of purchase in 2020,then call you a couple of days later saying they need you to come and sign a paper saying as far as they know there's no open recall on the vehicle.

So i called the car dealership and asked how can you sell me a car that has a open recall 2009. He tells me oh yeah you can call the 1-800 and get it fixed for free. I asked so you knew at the time of purchase there is a recall?then he said no i don't work in sales.then he said it was basically my problem now. I feel this should be illegal.this car company should be investigated.oh btw this is my 2nd car in 1yr because my 1st car had a cracked engine and they rigged the back shock because the car was in a wreck&they failed to tell me the titled was salvaged!

Any time i put gas in auto, it takes about six attempts to start. Will not start immediately after fueling.

I just had to pay for a repair for the fuel filler pipe. It was leaking as i would fill the car with gas. This model had a recall for this problem but my car vin was not included.t he part they put down on the bill was "the recall kit". I feel that mine should have been covered also. *tr

Have had 3 incidents when driving between 25-45 mph, hit the brakes because of being in traffic or suddenly stopping to avoid accident; mitsubishi's brakes don't react (car feels weird or forced) when it has to stop suddenly. One accident because of this. Skidding has also occurred because of suspension or brake problem???? Not sure? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated to 85 mph without warning.

Tcl( traction control) light on, brake tail lights on continuously while vehicle is parked and turned off. Brake tail lights discharge battery after a couple of hours while vehicle is parked and turned off. Dealer says brake switch is defective. This means that brake tail lights go on when they should not and may not illuminate when the brakes are applied. *tr

When brakes are applied, moisture appears on all four calipers. Rust on all calipers. Residue on master cylinder as well. Refilled brake fluid under hood twice. Strong burning brake fluid smell when driving. New vehicle with 4k miles. Car towed to nearest dealer, eugene or mitsubishi. Service dept looked at brakes and ran tests. Service manager, says they don't know where moisture is coming from and can't find source of leak. Although problems with brakes are dangerous, and there is evidence of a serious problem, district rep will not authorize service done to brakes because source was not pin pointed. I called corporate and opened a case but they will not honor warranty. I need service done. I can't take it elsewhere because it will void warranty. Leaking brake fluid is dangerous. No brake fluid means no stopping. Rusted calipers can seize up which is also dangerous. Brake pads soaked with brake fluid won't work. Should not be having brake issues on a brand new vehicle. I just want mitsubishi to honor their warranty, replace the rusted parts, find the leaking parts, replace the leaking parts, and flush the brake fluid.

A.c. Is draining into the interior of the vehicle causing the carpet and flooring on the driver side under to the driver seat to become soaked through and will not drain out. On several occasions, footwear have slipped on the break and gas pedals due to moisture accumulated on the bottom of the shoe. The shoe is not able to dry and properly grip the gas and brake pedals due to the accumulated moisture soaked through the carpeting under foot. Have contacted local mitsubishi dealership: the a.c. Issue is a known issue and they will not cover the cost of repair even though it is causing safety issues with vehicle stopping and accelerating. Contacted mitsubishi corporate and received the same communication that was relayed by the local dealership.

Wet floor board on drivers side due to a leaking hvac. May cause slippery feet while operating vehicle. Also causing mildew and or rust. Seen lots and lots of discussion on net about this known problem. And they even have a bulletin on there website for the problem. But no recall?

Water sometimes run over onto the gas and brake pedals, casing a dangerous situation. Blower motor has since stopped working as a result of water constantly running down on it.

In october 2010, i backed out of my driveway and heard a loud noise (i was worried i had hit something). I looked around and noticed that the passenger side rear window was down and i did not put it down. When i tried to put it back up, it didn't move. I contacted my local mitsubishi dealer and they advised that the window regulator needed to be replaced. Luckily, i was still under warranty. Now, less than a year later, i was driving down a busy highway, and heard that same loud noise. Once again, i thought i had hit something or something had hit me. I pulled off to the side of the road to discover that my driver side rear window was down. I visited my local mitsubishi dealer and was told that the window regulator needed to be replaced. However, i am now out of warranty and am being told it will be $250 (before taxes and fees) to have this part replaced. I do understand that parts wear out and need replacing but i find it funny that both sides went out within one year of each other. I also don't think it's safe to have my children in the back where the windows seem to fall down at any given moment. I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and to find out if there is any recall in the works. Thank you. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 mitsubishi endeavor. The contact stated that the driver side door window dropped and shattered from the interior of the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the door knob was fractured in half. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 130,000.

The window regulators on both passenger front and rear and driver front and rear windows failed to work, the windows fell down while driving and i have to use zip ties to hold the windows up. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. After the air conditioner was activated, the front driver and passenger side floorboards became moist. In addition, there was a burning odor and an abnormal noise coming from the air vent. The contact also stated that the blower motor for the air conditioner became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the drainage tube for the air conditioner unit was clogged and needed to be unclogged. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 114,000.

Noise of sloshing water in the trunk and water dripping onto the driver's floor; soaking wet carpet. Very bad odor! Causing a sick feeling. Rear passenger windows failed; right and left approximately six months apart. The malfunction caused the windows to fall down into the door panel. Roaring noise coming from both front and rear wheels. *js

The h-vac system does not work. When air conditioning is used water seeps into the floorboard and completely soaks the floor and mat, which creates a very rank odor. To correct this problem it will cost the consumer approximately $800.00. This is clearly an engineer defect/flaw. We were told by an mitsubishi service rep that the following year (2005) it was corrected. Obviously mitsubishi was aware of this problem. Why wasn't a recall done on this problem? I think it certainly warrants one. How many other people have been affected by this? Why should the consumer assume costs for something that was not made correctly? I am baffled, as to why a car corporation would not take care of their customers? *tr

Back tailgate window switch and back tailgate door latch/switch/handles of early 2004 mitsubishi endeavors just fail with no warning and neither can be opened with or without key fob. After some searching i noticed on the internet that this is a common problem. This makes it not possible to access the spare tire, or in case of accident the rescue persons cannot access the car from the back door or window. I understand this has been an ongoing problem with the early 2004 models. I had to pay close to $400 to repair this. *tr

I own a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. The blower went out about 2 years ago. I had the blower motor replaced ($400.00) in january 2010 by expert tire (no mitsubishi dealer nearby). About 5 months later, the fan stopped blowing again intermittently. I would have to turn the a/c completely off for a day and then it would start working again. Also, it is leaking into the driver side floorboard. Now, i have a musty smell anytime i get in the car. The a/c appears to be working fine now, but anytime i drive in the car for a couple of hours, it stops working again. I've called mitsubishi and reported this several times over the last few years, but cannot get any help. They just tell me to bring it in to the service department. I don't live near a mitsubishi dealer, they don't offer a rental car, and i really don't have another $400.00 or more to spend on this problem. From what i've read online, there are alot of other endeavor owners who have this problem. Mitsubishi needs to take a look at this problem and do a recall. If this many people are having the problem, it's not a fluke accident. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. The contact stated that whenever she attempted to make a left or right turn, she heard and saw water leaking into the vehicle from the glove compartment. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the blower motor was replaced. The failure recurred three times over a two year period. The vehicle was taken back to the previous mechanic where the blower was replaced a second time. The vin was unavailable. The failure and current mileages were unknown. Updated 09/29/2010.*lj

Rolling down the rear windows causes an air vibration that is so loud and pulsing that it hurts your ears. Opening all the windows helps a little, but is still unacceptable. Opening just the rear windows is extremely painful. This problem has been noted by many mitsubishi endeavor owners. This is not the type of issue that can be identified, prior to purchasing the vehicle, when one buys the vehicle in the winter. Why would you ever roll the rear windows down? It is expected that you should be able to do so, without serious discomfort. *tr
