THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO THE AGE OF VEHICLE, NOR IS IT OWNER-CREATED. IT IS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW. DRIVER-SIDE FRONT FLOOR STAYS SOAKING WET. SHOES GET WET AND SLIPPERY WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHILE PRESSING ON GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS (DRIVING HAZARD). MOLD CONTINUES TO GROW EVEN AFTER CLEANED (HEALTH HAZARD). TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAILED GROMMET FROM THE EVAPORATOR CORE DRAIN. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ($700 REPAIR ESTIMATE TO REPLACE GROMMET). DUE TO HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS MANUFACTURER FLAW/FAULTY MATERIAL!

BLOWN ENGINE ON A WELL MAINTAINED, SINGLE OWNER 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WITH UNDER 70,000 MILES. AT 55MPH AND WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING (E.G. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH OR CHANGES IN DASHBOARD GAUGES), THE CAR MADE AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE (ALMOST HIGH REVVING LIKE), BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND RAPIDLY WAS LOSING POWER. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" AND WHILE THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER AND START THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER AND THE CAR WOULD STALL OUT. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE GARAGE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. MY MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED THAT MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT WAS SOAKED WHICH I HAD ACTUALLY NOTICED 2 WEEKS PRIOR WHEN WAS CLEANING MY CAR BUT HAD THOUGHT THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY GOTTEN IT WET DURING THE WASHING PROCESS. GIVEN THAT WE HAVE HAD NO RAIN SINCE THEN NOR HAD I WASHED THE CAR SINCE 2 WEEKS PRIOR, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE OF GETTING IT WET. MY MECHANIC THEN SAID THAT OF THE 6 2004/2005 ENDEAVORS THAT HE HAS REPAIRED IN THE PAST YEAR, HE HAD SEEN THE SAME ISSUE AND WHILE SOME RESOLVED WITH THE UNBLOCKING OF SOME LINE THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE AC HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE OTHERS REQUIRED A MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY REPAIR DUE TO THE HEATING ELEMENT WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE ISSUE. HE ALSO NOTED THAT EACH OF THE ENDEAVORS WITH THE SOAKED DRIVER SIDE MAT ISSUE HAD ALSO LOST THEIR RADIOS. IRONICALLY MY RADIO HAD JUST GONE OUT THE WEEK PRIOR (IT COMES ON AS IF IT IS WORKING BUT NO SOUND OUT OF THE SPEAKERS) & I HAD MADE AN APPT WITH MITSUBISHI TO RESOLVE. THE MORE I READ ONLINE THE MORE I SEE THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AND MY MECHANIC HAVE NOTED THEREFORE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS CLEARLY A VERY COSTLY PATTERN OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR LINE/YEAR OF MITS VEHICLES. GIVEN THAT I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN JAN 2005 AND SERVICED IT ACCORDINGLY, THIS ISSUE SEEMS SUSPECT. *TR
Dec 07, 2011
MY VEHICLE IS 2004 ENDEAVOR, PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED EARLY OCT 2010. DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD AND REAR PASSENGER FLOORBOARD COMPLETELY SOAKED WITH WATER. WATER IS COMING UNDERNEATH FLOOR BOARD FROM AC DUE TO IMPROPER DRAINAGE. THIS IS A MAJOR HEATH CONCERN THERE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ENDEAVOR AND PART NEEDED TO REPAIR PROBLEM IS NOT EXPENSIVE BUT LABOR IS SO EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF DIFFICULTY IN GETTING TO PROBLEM AREA. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN PROBLEM AND WE AS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE OVERCHARGED FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH ACCORDING TO DEALER COST AROUND 1000.00 . THIS IS UNREALISTIC. THEY PRESENT ECONOMY IS BAD ENOUGH WITHOUT BEING RIPPED OUT MY MITSUBISHI. I NEEDED MY CAR TO GET TO WORK BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DEAL THIS SOGGY FLOOR, MOLD,MILDEW,BAD SMELL AND NOT TO MENTION HEALTH CONCERNS. *TR
Aug 15, 2011
DUE TO A FAULTY A.C. FILTER MATERIAL, THE AIR CONDITION DRAIN DUCT IS OBSTRUCTED. THE FAULTY MATERIAL BREAKS DOWN AND HINDERS THE ABILITY OF THE CONDENSATION TO DRAIN OUTSIDE OF THE SUV. THE WATER HAS NO WHERE TO GO AND LEAKS INTO THE INTERIOR FLOOR BOARD AND SATURATES THE CARPET AND INTERIOR COMPONENTS OF THE CAR. THE WATER ALSO BECOMES TRAPPED IN A POCKET OR AREA OF THE FLOORBOARD AND CANT DRAIN OUTSIDE. THIS PROBLEM RESULTS IN A MOLD DEVELOPING AND CAN OR WILL BE HARMFUL WHEN EXPOSED TO PROLONG PERIODS! WE HAVE HAD THE DRAIN LINE CLEANED OUT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AT OUR OWN EXPENSE AND THE ISSUE KEEPS RECURRING? THE REPAIR SHOP STATES THE DETERIORATED FILTER MATERIAL CONTINUES TO BREAK APART AND BECOME LODGED IN THE DRAIN LINE. MITSUBISHI HAS YET TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THEIR REMEDY IS TO BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPAIR CHARGE THAT IS EXPENSIVE, UNAFFORDABLE AND UNREASONABLE! WE ARE HAVING BREATHING DIFFICULTIES DUE TO THE OBNOXIOUS AND POSSIBLY TOXIC MOLD SMELL. WE NEED THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION BACK AND FORTH TO OUR JOBS AND HAVE NO CHOICE AS WE NEED TO PAY OUR BILLS! SURELY IF THIS WAS A MINOR REPAIR COST WE WOULD HAVE CORRECTED IT DUE TO THE POSSIBLY HARMFUL NATURE, HOWEVER THE REPAIR COST IS UNAFFORDABLE. CONSIDERING THIS IS A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE AND FEEL IT NECESSARY TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER CORRECT IT. WE ARE AWARE OF THE ECONOMIC HARDSHIP THAT IS EFFECTING EVERYONE AND ARE CONCERNED, HOWEVER INSURANCE AND SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS SHOULD BE UPHELD ABOVE ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! CERTAIN MOLDS ARE PROVEN TO BE HARMFUL OR FATAL. THANK YOU *TR

2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. A/C DRAIN FAILS TO PROPERLY DRAIN CAUSING WATER TO DRAIN ONTO THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR. THIS ALSO OCCURRED OVER TWO MONTHS DURING WHICH I WASN'T USING THE A/C SO IT MAY ALSO BE RELATED TO RAIN WATER OR OTHER CONDENSATION. MITSUBISHI KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $900 TO FIX. *TR
Dec 31, 2010
THE CONDENSATION FROM THE AC DOES NOT DRAIN OUT OF THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. IT IS A "KNOWN" DESIGN FLAW THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE A DRAIN 'TUBE" BUT THE WATER IS SUPPOSED TO DRAIN OUT A HOLE AND OUT THROUGH THE FRAME BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THE HOLE CAN BECOME PLUGGED. THE WATER RUNS INTO THE VEHICLE UNDER THE CARPET AN UNDER THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CARPET CAN HAVE STANDING WATER MAKING THE FOOT WET AND SLIPPERY ON THE PEDAL. ALSO THE WATER HAS NOWHERE TO GO. THE WATER WILL THEN EVAPORATE AND RECONDENSE ON THE WINDSHIELD, OBSTRUCTING VIEWS. I CAN NEVER COMPLETELY DRY OUT THE WATER AND I AM WORRIED THAT MOLD IS GROWING IN THE CAR. ALSO THE WATERLOGGED FLOOR STINKS HORRIBLY. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WHO COMPLAINS EVERYDAY ABOUT THE SMELL, BUT I WORRY MORE ABOUT THE MOLD AND THE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES I DESCRIBED ABOVE. *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

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID BATTERY FINE FEW DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID BATTERY BAD. I REPLACED BATTERY. FEW DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID NEW BATTERY FINE. SINCE CAR DID NOT START 3 TIMES IN A ROW AFTER PUMPING GAS, AND I NEEDED A JUMP EVERY TIME, I HAD MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC. HE SAID THE ISSUE WAS TIED TO A RECALL BULLETIN. 10V065000 - FILLER PIPE AND CAP. CALLED MITSUBISHI TO FIX IT BUT THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE I AM STATE OF CALIFORNIA. I DO A LOT OF MY DRIVING IN SNOW SO I FEEL MITSUBISHI SHOULD FIX THIS FOR ME. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD SO I NEED TO FIX IT ASAP (PLUS I DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK AT A GAS STATION AGAIN NEEDING A JUMP). I'D LIKE MITSUBISHI TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS EXPENSE BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

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

BOUGHT THIS 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR USED WITH 64K MILES IN JANUARY. STARTED USING THE AIR THIS SUMMER AND NOTICED DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR IS SOAKING WET AFTER EACH USE. FOUND ONLINE THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MITSUBISHI IS AWARE OF IT AND HAVE PUT TOGETHER A FIX BETWEEN $220-$350 BUT THERE IS NO RE-CALL. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A FAILED SEAL IN THE A/C UNIT. ALSO, HAD TO HAVE THE EGR SENSOR REPLACED TWICE. CALLED MITSUBISHI AND THEY SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT RAN $400-$500 EACH TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

AFTER DRIVING ON A LONG TRIP, FOUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR CARPET AND MAT SOAKED WITH WATER. AC DRAIN TUBE IS BLOCKED CAUSING MOLD AND ODOR. THE DRAIN TUBE IS TOO SHORT AND LOCATED INSIDE THE FIREWALL AND NEEDS TO BE LENGTHENED OUT OF THE FIREWALL (PER MITSUBISHI TSB-11-55-003). THE FLOORING CONTINUES TO BE SOAKED WITH WATER EVEN WHEN THE AC IS NOT IN OPERATION. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION DUE TO THE STEPPING ON THE WET FLOOR MAT AND CAUSING THE BREAK PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL TO BECOME WET, CAUSING YOUR FOOT TO SLIP OFF THE PEDALS WHEN WET. NOT TO MENTION THE BREATHING IN THE MOLD CAUSED BY THE WETNESS. *TR

WATER LEAKING IN THE CAR FROM UNDER THE DASH. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE....IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ERROR WHY SHOULD THEY BE REQUIRED TO CORRECT IT. *TR

I NOTICED WATER DROPPING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS DASHBOARD OCCASIONALLY AND THOUGHT IT WAS CONDENSATION/SWEATING IN JULY 2010. THIS YEAR ON VACATION I NOTICED THE CARPET WAS FULL OF WATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE INCLUDING THE REAR FLOORBOARD WITH MILDEW GROWING EVERY WHERE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE , SO I DON'T DRIVE IT VERY OFTEN. SHE HAD BRONCHITIS FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS THIS SPRING THAT COULD NOT BE EXPLAINED THAT THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ANTIBIOTICS, STEROIDS, AND A NEBULIZER MACHINE COULDN'T MAKE HER BETTER. NOW I KNOW WHAT CAUSED HER PROLONGED ILLNESS, DRIVING HER CAR EVERY DAY WITH MILDEW UNDER THE FLOOR MATS AND IN THE AIR. MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS EITHER ALLERGIES, ASTHMA OR BOTH. AFTER WE RETURNED FROM VACATION I GOOGLED FOR A ANSWER TO FIND WHERE THE CONDENSATION TUBE WAS LOCATED TO CLEAR IT AND POSSIBLY STOP IT FROM LEAKING INSIDE.MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE INTERNET SEARCH RESULTED WITH A BEVY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME PROBLEM ! I READ FORUMS, ARTICLES, AND COMPLAINTS WITH THE END RESULT THAT MITSUBISHI WAS CHARGING $1000.00 TO FIX. SINCE THEN THEY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH OUT TAKING THE WHOLE A/C UNIT OUT. THERE IS A TSB REPORT # 09-55-002 ON THE PROBLEM WITH THE FINDINGS THAT INSULATION USED IN THE HOUSING FALLS APART AND CLOGS THE DRAIN INSIDE THE HOUSING.THE DESIGN OF THE A/C CONDENSER INSIDE THE VEHICLE IS ASKING FOR LEAKS AND PROBLEMS. I CAN'T EXPOSE MY FAMILY TO MOLD AND MILDEW EVERY TIME THE A/C IS USED. THE WATER IN THE CARPET SMELLS VERY BAD AND WILL RUST THE FLOORBOARDS AND THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK! THIS MAKES THE PROBLEM TWO FOLD. THE RUST IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE MOLD IS A SEVERE HEALTH ISSUE FOR PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WITH RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS. I AM VERY UPSET AND WILL BE CONTACTING THE MITSUBISHI REGIONAL SERVICE REP. FOR THE WASHINGTON D.C. AREA. PLEASE RECALL! MANY MORE CAN'T OR WON'T COMPLAIN! THANK YOU.....

2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEVOR'S PAINT IS DETERIORATING. *NJ AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE CLEAR COAT OVER THE PAINT STARTED TO DETERIORATE ON SEVERAL PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AND WAS INFORMED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. THE CONSUMER ASKED THEM TO RE-PAINT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, BUT THEY REFUSED AND ONLY PAINTED THE AREAS THAT WERE DAMAGED. A YEAR LATER, MORE PARTS OF THE PAINT STARTED TO DETERIORATE, AND AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO PAINT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. *JB

STANDING WATER ON DRIVER SIDE FLOOR.HVAC DRAIN PLUG IS CLOGGED AND NOW WARNING LIGHTS FOR MANY DIFFERENT ITEMS ARE APPEARING ON DASH DISPLAY AND THIS IS CAUSED BY WATER RUNNING THROUGH. I DO NOT KNOW OF MANY AUTO MAKERS THAT PUT DRAIN PLUG UNDER DASH BOARD. THIS COULD VERY WELL TURN INTO AN ELECTRICAL AND OR FIRE HAZARD. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FIRST THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS. THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE SO THEY DO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

WATER LEAKING IN THE CAR FROM UNDER THE DASH. FIRST TIME WAS IN 2005 SECOND AND THIRD TIME JULY 2007.

I HAVE A WARRANTY THAT IS TOP COVER ALL OF THESE THINGS BY THE DEALER WOULDN'T HONOR STATING THAT IT IS DUE TO OUTSIDE INFLUENCES. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY ENTIRE DASH BOARD REMOVED TO GET TO THE BOX THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT IS A MANUFACTURE ERROR. *JB

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

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

IT LOOKS LIKE THAT THE MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR HAS DESIGN DEFECTS WHERE THE A/C WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE CAR. I STARTED TO NOTICE WATER UNDER DRIVER AND REAR SEATS. I THOUGHT THAT THIS IS DUE TO RAIN BUT WHEN I TOOK IT FOR REPAIR THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE A/C AND THE WATER IS NOT DRAINING OUT INSTEAD IT IS DRAINING INSIDE. I ALSO WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN JACKSONVILLE, FL AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND HAPPENS WITH THIS MODEL. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO EITHER REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR FOR $800 OR THEY CAN CLEAN AND DO SOMETHING THAT WILL TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM COSTING $189. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN EVEN IF I REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR. WHICH IS INSANE!!! SEARCHING THE INTERNET REVILED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SO FAR I DRAINED MORE THAN 3 GALLONS OF WATER FROM UNDER THE DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER SEATS. I CANNOT USE A/C IN HOT FLORIDA WEATHER. SO MUCH WATER INSIDE THE CAR CAN ALSO CAUSE SHORT CIRCUIT EVEN FIRE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH MITSUBISHI SHOULD RECALL AND FIX. *TR

WE OWN A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WITH 90,000 MILE S ON . THE PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS BRAKE RELATED AND AS OCCURRED 6-7 TIMES THE LAST 5-6 MONTHS - ITS DOESN'T OCCUR ALL THE TIME ITS INTERMITTENT AND ONLY AFTER CAR SITS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME USUALLY OVER NITE . THE PROBLEM IS THE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE FIRST APPLIED THERE'S A SLOW RESPONSE TIME FOR THEM TO WORK AND THE PEDAL HAS TO BE DEPRESSED VERY HARD OR PUMPED . WE FIRST NOTICED THIS AFTER THANKSGIVING OF LAST YEAR THE PROBLEM REPEATED TILL IN MARCH WHEN I HAD A LOCAL AUTO SERVICE SHOP LOOK AT THE PROBLEM (ASE MASTER CERTIFIED ) - HE COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BUT MACHINE FONT ROTORS THINKING THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM - A FEW WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN . THATS WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO HIM EXPLAINED IT HI IN DELAI - HE SAID IT MIGHT BE BRAKE PADS AND REPLACED THEM - HOWEVER SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND MY WIFE JUST MISSING REAR ENDING THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF HER. I AGAIN CALLED THE MITSUBISHI DEALER - EXPLAINED THINGS AGAIN TO THEM - THIS WAS AFTER I CONTACTED THE CORP. CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER OF MITSUBISHI - SHE SAID TO TAKE IT BACK INTO THEM - WE DID - THEY STATED THE COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM.

THE CAR HAS BEEN ACCUMULATING FLUID ON THE FLOOR OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. USURE OF WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS, WE HAVE BEEN ABSORBING THE WATER AND AIRING OUT THE CAR. MOLD HAS ACCUMULATED AS WELL (BLACK MOLD) AND NOW I KNOW WHY I'VE HAD REPEATED RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, INCLUDING PNEUMONIA THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. RUST IS ALSO FORMING DUE TO THE CONSTANT HUMIDITY LEVELS INSIDE THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO BE RUSTING AS WELL AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE CHAIR FLOOR MOUNT. I CANNOT SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING, AS IT IS COVERED BY THE PANELS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THAT DUE TO THE LIQUID ON THE FLOOR OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE, MY FOOT HAS SLIPPED WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE WHICH HAS LED TO POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. AS I CANNOT SEE THE FLOOR ITSELF (DUE TO THE CARPETING), I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS RUSTING OUT AS WELL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A DEALER YET, SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS... I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE RAIN WAS GETTING INTO THE CAR SOMEHOW. WELL, SINCE IT HASN'T RAINED IN OVER ONE WEEK, AND THE PUDDLE IN THE CAR WAS WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE, I SUSPECTED THE A/C SYSTEM. I WENT ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL? I AM APPALLED THAT THIS SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? FUNGAL RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS CAN LEAD TO DEATH, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE VULNERABLE. SLIPPERY BRAKE PEDALS, RUSTING FLOOR BOARDS AND RUSTING SEAT FLOOR ANCHORS, POTENTIAL FOR ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND/OR FIRES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE COMPANY HAS APPARENTLY NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES. PERHAPS IT WILL TAKE A DEATH FOR A RECALL? I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT NO MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DEFINITIVELY TELL US WHERE THIS LEAK WAS COMING FROM, NOR WERE WE ABLE TO TELL... UNTIL NOW. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS. THIS CAR HAS NO RESELL VALUE AND SHOULD NOT BE SOLD DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS HARM. THIS MATTER IS LONG OVERDUE!

FIVE DAYS LATER WATER STARTED LEAKING ON DRIVER SIDE ONLY. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. THEY STATED, A HOSE WAS MISSING ON RECALL REPAIR. I WONDERED WHY WHENEVER I TOPPED OFF GAS @ THE PUMP, FUEL LEAKED FROM BACK TIRE AREA UNDER VEHICLE. FIRE HAZARD. THEY QUOTED 1500 TO FIX WATER LEAK. GOT A IT FIX @ ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR. SIX MTHS LATER, BACK TO POMOCO FOR YRLY INSPECTION, 2 DAYS LATER, WHENEVER I PRESS BRAKES, MAKE TURNS ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, OR IN MOTION I FEEL SOMETHING ROLLS UNDER MY FEET BUT CANT SEE IT, MUST BE UNDERNEATH. A MTH AFTERWARDS, EVERYTHING IS WET. ALL THE FLOOR BOARDS, PUDDLES. CARDBOARD, TOWELS NOTHING WILL STOP THE WATER FLOW WITH AC FUNCTIONING. I HAVE 128,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, BOUGHT IN 2010 WITH 51,000 ON IT. EVER SINCE THE FUEL PIPE RECALL, THAT POMOCO TOOK 3 MTHS TO COMPLETE BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO DO THE WORK WHICH FORCED ME TO FILE COMPLAINT WITH THE CORPORATION, NHTSA, & ONE OTHER, I'VE HAD WATER PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE TAKEN TO A HIGHER LEGAL LEVEL DUE TO THIS IS & CONTINUES TO CAUSE HARM, INTENTIONAL OR OTHERWISE. WE'RE ADVISED HERE NOT TO GET PERSONAL BUT MOLD & MUSHROOMS ETC, SHOULD NOT EXIST IN A VEHICLE. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH LOTS OF OTHERS AND NOTHING DONE TO DATE.

BUT I RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY FRONT ROTORS I HAD A MITSUBISHI DEALER INSPECT MY ENTIRE SUV FOR ANY AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE WRONG..JUST THE OTHER DAY I WENT TO STOP AT A RED SIGNAL AND MY SUV DID BRAKE BUT ONLY FOR A SECOND IT STARTED TO SLIDE FORWARD AS I LOST BRAKING POWER IN MY FRONT BRAKES I HEARD A BIG POP AND A CLANK AS I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND HALFWAY SLID THROUGH THE LIGHT AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I DROVE A WAYS DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS HEARING THE CLANK SOUND AND IT FELT AS IF THE FRONT TIRES WERE TRYING TO CATCH ON SOMETHING I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE CALIBERS OR THE BRAKE PADS. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST GAS STATION TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED . THE PADS WERE FINE THE TIRES WERE FINE AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK NO BRAKES FLUID LEAKING THE CALIBERS WERE FINE...

THEN FOUND OUT IN 6/09 WHEN THE BRAKES WERE FAILING ON ME @ 47K MILES A DESIGN FLAW CAUSED THE PINS TO COLLECT MOISTURE & FROZE UP & THEREFORE CAUSED THE CALIPERS TO FREEZE UP RUINING THE ROTORS & THE PADS. SINCE THE ROTORS WERE TURNED @ 21K, THE ROTORS NEEDED REPLACED COSTING ME OVER $1000. WE ALSO HAD WATER COMING OUT OF THE BLOWER MOTOR CAUSING IT TO FAIL. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. A/C WORKS SOME TIMES IN THE CITY. MOST OF THE TIME AFTER DRIVING ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY IT BLOWS WARM AIR OR NOT AT ALL. THE THERMISTOR ASSY HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE RESISTOR HARNESS FOR THERMISTOR ASSY. DID NOT CORRECT HE PROBLEM. MISUBISHI STATES (WHICH IS FALSE) THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WAS CAUSED BY THE PLACEMENT OF A FIN SENSOR BY AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE. WHAT IS A FIN SENSOR (NEVER HAD THIS REPLACED) AND DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS. THANK YOU, BILL *TR

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

I PURCHASED A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR FROM DAVE SMITH MOTORS IN SEPTEMBER, 2005. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS 6 TIMES. ONCE THEY REPLACED A FALSELY SEALED FRONT WINDSHIELD, TWICE THEY REPAIRED THE HEATER CORE, AND ONCE THEY REPAIRED THE DRIVE LINE. THE 2 OTHER VISITS WERE FOR INITIAL INSPECTION AND ESTIMATE . NOW IT SMELLS LIKE BURNING ELECTRIC WIRES AND IT IS STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND HAS BEEN UNDER REPAIR FOR WEEKS! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN. *NM

NO INFORMATION ON RECALL GIVEN TO ME AT ALL. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY PARKING BRAKES NOT HOLDING AND WAS SEARCHING FOR PARTS ON THE INTERNET. CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MIAMI AND SHIPPED TO VI, BUT NO ONE AT MITSUBISHI CAN TELL ME IF THERE IS A DEALER HERE AND WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE WITH GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED IF THERE IS NO DEALER. I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PARTS I MAY NEED TO GET IT FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC

THIS IS A 3 MONTH OLD CAR AND PURCHASED THE SUV NEW, AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOW SWITCHED STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY REPAIRS AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE $80 TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. SO I END UP FIXING THE PROBLEM MYSELF IN WHICH I REPLACED A FAULTY SWITCH. NOW MY CAR'S DOME LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. ALSO AFFECTED IS THE MEMORY FOR THE CLOCK OR RADIO. THE REMOTE KEYLESS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR OBVIOUSLY HAS PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME JUST FOR LOOKING AT IT. *LA
