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.

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

4 complaints

MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2006-2008 MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME CAR. THAT IS, THE HEATER CONTROLLER SIGNAL TO THE HVAC SYSTEM CODES AS U111, AND CONSEQUENTLY THE A/C WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL, BUT INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS IT TO BE ON. THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT RECEIVING THE SIGNAL FROM THE CONTROLLER. THE DEALER SAYS THIS RECALL (NUMBER 10V514000) DOES NOT COVER 2005 CARS.

I READ OVER THE INTERNET THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, THE ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

Fire: 1

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
