2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor

Defect. MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2010 ENDEAVOR VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND WASHINGTON D.C. COLD STATES INCLUDE NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, NEBRASKA, KANSAS, OKLAHOMA, COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO, WASHINGTON, OREGON, AND UTAH. ADJOINING STATES INCLUDE ARKANSAS, TENNESSEE, AND NORTH CAROLINA. IN SEVERE CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE ROAD SALTS ARE FREQUENTLY USED IN WINTER VEHICLES MAY BE EXPOSED TO ROAD DEBRIS (MUD) MIXED WITH ROAD SALT. THIS MATERIAL CAN BECOME TRAPPED BETWEEN A REINFORCING BRACKET AND THE FUEL FILLER PIPE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING CORROSION. OVER TIME, CORROSION COULD CREATE A LEAK IN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE THAT COULD RESULT IN A FUEL LEAKAGE WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE.

Risk. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER PIPE WITH A NEW IMPROVED PART FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JULY 5, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.

Defect. MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 120,000 MY 2004-2006 ENDEAVOR PASSENGER VEHICLES. DURING VEHICLE USE, THE IGNITION KEY INTERLOCK CABLE (WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM) MAY ALLOW THE INTERLOCKING CAM TO FALL FORWARD AND ALLOW THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE GEARSHIFT MECHANISM IS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION.

Risk. IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT SHIFT TO PARK BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY AND FAILS TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND CORRECT THESE VEHICLES FOR THE REPORTED CONDITION. THE RECALL WILL BEGIN ON JULY 7, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-888-648-7820.

Defect. ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL CABLE LOCK NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE LOCK NUT MAY LOOSEN AND COME OFF, WHICH WILL REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PARKING BRAKE.

Risk. THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL IF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT PLACED INTO THE "PARK" POSITION AND THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A SLOPE, THUS RAISING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND TIGHTEN THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE LOCK NUT, IF NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN FEBRUARY 24, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-5500.

Defect. CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, 'OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION.' THE BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH REMOVABLE AIR BAG WARNING LABELS AFFIXED TO THE DASH AND TO THE SUNVISOR DO NOT MEET THE SIZE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.

Risk. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.

Remedy. MITSUBISHI CARIBBEAN WILL MAIL A CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION LETTER CONTAINING A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION AND A GRAPHIC OF THE BI-LINGUAL DASHBOARD AIR BAG WARNING LABEL. IN ADDITION, ALL CURRENT 2000-2004 NATIVA OWNERS WILL ALSO RECEIVE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG ALERT LABELS FOR THE SUN VISORS. THIS RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MARCH OR APRIL 2005. THE NOTIFICATION TO THE NATIVA OWNERS IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL OR MAY 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MITSUBISHI CARIBBEAN AT 1-787-251-8715.

Defect. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FOOT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT RISER MAY DEVELOP A CRACK, RESULTING IN REDUCED STRENGTH OF THE SEAT ANCHORAGE.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT COULD BECOME DETACHED, INCREASING THE RISK OF OCCUPANT INJURY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. IF SO, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW, IMPROVED PART. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 26, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-888-648-7820.

Defect. CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH DEALER-INSTALLED TRAILER HITCH WIRING HARNESS AND CONTROL MODULE. THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE CAN OVERHEAT.

Risk. OVERHEATING OF THE TRAILER HITCH WIRING HARNESS MODULE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. OWNERS ARE BEING REQUESTED TO STOP USING THE HARNESS UNTIL A NEWLY DESIGNED REPLACEMENT IS PROVIDED AND CAN BE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 28, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-888-648-7820.

,am writing regarding a severe safety issue at the [XXX] Mitsubishi location. Over a month ago, I brought my 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor in for an open federal safety recall regarding a fuel leak (NHTSA Recall 10V065000). I was sent away without a safe vehicle while parts were 'ordered.'Five days ago, the new service manager promised a callback the next day. I was ghosted. Today, I attempted to follow up on my parts status, and it appears the service desk has blocked my phone number. I am currently operating a vehicle that actively leaks raw gasoline at the pump in the Milwaukee area. This is a massive corporate liability. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Emergency brake does not stop car from moving .

My key is stuck in the lock position, won't go all the way back to come out.

MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. WE WERE ON VACATION AND ON SAT MAY 23,2020 WHEN WE GOT BACK TO OUR HOTEL THE KEY WOULDN'T RELEASE TO COME OUT OF IGNITION

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR FROM DRIVE TO NETURAL TO DRIVE WHILE BOTH LIGHTS ARE SHOWING THE CAR IS IN THAT GEAR . WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BRAKES ENGAGED AND THE WENT BACK INTO DRIVE ,AND I HAD TO DRIVE HIW AT A VERY LOW SPEED TO MAKE IT HOME.

FUEL FILLER NECK IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING CODE P0442. CAR VIN WAS NEVER PART OF RECALL. I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR.

I HAD REPLACED THE WATER PUMPS GETTING READY TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AND WHEN IT WENT OUT THE POWER STEERING MESSED UP I'M ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TIMING BELT IT WAS REPLACED AT 112,000 MILES AND IT WAS INSPECTED AT 121,000 AND WAS OKAY BUT IT SNAPPED ON ME THE OTHER DAY THE HIGHWAY REPLACING IT FOR THE SECOND TIME NOW AT 188,000+ MILES NOT EVEN 100,000 MILES LATER FROM THE FIRST TIME. THIS ISN'T CHEAP ALSO MY HEATER CORE WENT AGAIN.

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.

I BOUGHT IT LIKE THIS AND DON'T REALLY KNOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE NEUTRAL AND DRIVE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT THE SAME TIME. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MITSUBISHI/HYUNDAI IN BRANDON, FL), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

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

THE OUT STANDING RECALL I HAD COMPLETED 03/15/2011 AT DEALER NO 15102 ..I CALLED MITSUBISHI INC IN CALIFORNIA TO FIX AND REMOVE THIS RECALL FROM THEIR DATA WHICH IT REFLECTS EXACTLY ON YOUR DATA THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE OUTSTANDING AND IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE I REPORTED IT TO THEM. I NEED THEM TO REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY EARLY MONDAY AND EMAIL ME AT [XXX] OR CALL ME AT [XXX] ATTACHED IS A PROOF THE RECALL COMPLETION TOP SECOND PAGE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS HIT BY A CITY TRANSIT BUS AND AIR BAG DID NOT OPEN

I HAVE TALKED TO MITSUBISHI NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE AUGUST 2016. THEY KEEP PASSING THE BUCK OR CASE MANAGER IS ON VACATION. I'VE BEEN USING A HOSE AND FUNNEL TO FUEL MY CAR BECAUSE THE FILL TUBE HAS RUSTED OUT. THIS AND 4 MORE RECALLS ON THIS CAR PUTS ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT MITSUBISHI IS AWARE OF. I AM TIRED OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND.

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. WHILE FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE FUEL LEAKED OUT.

THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V065000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000. UPDATED 11/01/16*LJ *TR *TR

HAD RECALL REPAIRED (FUEL INJECTION PIPE)@ POMOCO HAMPTON VA. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 6 MILES UP THE ROAD. 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. STARTED IN AROUND OCT 2015 (RECALL REPAIR) & AGAIN MAY 2016.

PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILURE. SRS LIGHT ON. DEALER VERIFIED FAILURE. NO VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR CONTACT.

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!

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.

THIS INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED ON DECEMBER 30, 2009, BASED ON FIVE CONSUMER REPORTS ALLEGING GASOLINE FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL FILL PIPE. SOME OF THE COMPLAINANTS INDICATED THE FUEL FILL PIPE HAD CORRODED TO THE POINT OF BEING PERFORATED, ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE PIPE. WE HAD THIS FIXED IN CONCORD, NH.

CANNOT REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION SWITCH... HAS ALWAYS MADE AN ECHO TYPE SOUND WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IDLE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2005. *TR

NOTICED I HAVE WATER ON DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR FROM AC. WATER POOLS AND SATURATES THE FLOOR. FEET CAN GET WET AND SLIP OFF OF BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. ALSO CONCERN OF MOLD GROWING IN INTERIOR. ONLINE SEARCH FINDS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

THE ROOF RACK HAS VERY FLIMSY PAINT AND HAS BEEN PEELING FOR YEARS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED. I COMMUTE ON THE FREEWAY AND 90% OF THE ENDEAVORS I SEE HAVE PAINT PEELING OFF THEIR ROOF RACK. I HAVE KEPT THIS CAR IN THE GARAGE FOR THE LAST 8 OUT OF 10 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS AND ISN'T DRIVEN MUCH AND STILL THE ROOF RACK LOOKS AWFUL! IF I WERE LOOKING TO BUY A NEW CAR AND SAW THIS, I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT A CAR WITH A PAINT PROBLEM. *TR

ON VAC. WHILE DRIVING NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD SOAKED. READ ON LINE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM FACTORY RELATING TO THE AIR CONDITIONER. WAS FIXED IN 2005 MODELS. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS AS YOUR SHOE GETS WET AND CAN SLIP ON THE BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A $800.00 FIX.MITSUBISHI WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE A RECALL ON THIS?? *JS

WHEN IN DRIVING THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIBRATES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

DRIVER SIDE FLOOR STAYS SOPPING WET. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS FROM THE AC DRAIN HOSE. MECHANICS WANT $700-1000 TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT SAY THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES AS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DEFECT WITH THE 2004 ENDEAVOR. THIS RAISES SEVERAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH MAIN ONE BEING THAT FEET ARE WET AND SLIPPERY AND LIKELY TO CAUSE BEING UNABLE TO BRAKE AS NEEDED DUE TO FOOT SLIPPING OFF PEDAL. OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS ARE IN REGARDS TO THE MOLD DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO KEEP IT DRY. PLEASE RECALL THIS AND HAVE IT FIXED AS IT SHOULD BE. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ABSORB THIS COST WHEN IT IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

RUST/CORROSION ON REAR CROSSMEMBER (SUB FRAME) CAUSED FAILURE OF UPPER A-ARM MOUNTING TABS. CAUSED WHEEL (RIGHT/REAR) TO COLLAPSE INTO VEHICLE. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, WATER WOULD PENETRATE THE VEHICLE AND SATURATE THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD AREA. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DASH BOARD WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED, HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A DEFECTIVE FIREWALL AND INSULATION THAT CAUSED THE WATER TO PENETRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 9/23/13*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND HER FOOT SLID OFF OF THE PEDAL DUE TO HER FOOT BEING WET. SHE THEN NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE FLOORBOARD WAS WET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRAIN SYSTEM FROM THE SUN ROOF COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 2004 WAS SOAKING WET AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SINCE IT WAS NOT RAINING. I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR GETS SOAKING WET WHENEVER I USE THE CAR. I SUSPECT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE AIR CONDITIONING LEAKING AND IT IS. IT GET SOAKING WET AND NOW I'M GETTING SICK FROM THE MILDEW. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2YRS NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL, I SEE LOADS OF 2004 HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT IT WAS CORRECTED IN 2005 ENDEAVORS. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 2004, BOUGHT IN THE SAME YEAR, WAS SOAKING WET AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SINCE IT WAS NOT RAINING. MY SON NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR GETS SOAKING WET WHENEVER HE OR I USE THE CAR. I SUSPECT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE AIRCON LEAKING BUT DIDN'T BRING IT TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE I WAS SCARED OF THE EXPENSE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD NOW THAT WE'RE ON FIXED INCOME. SINCE JUNE 2013, HOWEVER, THE LEAKING HAS NOTICEABLY INCREASED, AND MY SON USED THICK BATH TOWELS TO DRY THE FLOOR, BUT I NOTICED THAT THE TOWELS GET SOGGY WITH WHATEVER IS LEAKING, BUT EVEN A COUPLE OF THICK BATH TOWELS NOT ENOUGH TO DRY THE FLOOR. BEING CONCERNED ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S STARTING TO SMELL MILDEW INSIDE MY CAR, I TOLD HIM TO VACUUM IT, BUT IT STILL REMAINS WET AND STINKY THAT I'M SCARED FOR MY HEALTH AND THAT OF MY SON AS HE HAS DEVELOPED SEVERE ALLERGY, AND I'D BEEN SICKLY ALSO, BUT I CREDIT MINE TO OLD AGE, BUT CANNOT UNDERSTAND HIS SINCE HE DIDN'T HAVE IT BEFORE. BEING VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM I DECIDED TO GO ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HEALTH CONCERNS. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MITSUBISHI HASN'T ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH A RECALL, OR THE VEHICLE OWNERS NOT INSTITUTED A CLASS ACTION SUIT, WHICH I WILL JOIN SINCE IT'S A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT MITSUBISHI CORPORATION ADMITS EXISTS, YET HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CRITICAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE AFFECTING CONSUMERS. *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

MY 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR HAS SOME SORT OF PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS OTHERS. THE FLOORBOARDS ARE SOAKING WET AND ARE CAUSING OUR FEET TO SLIP WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. THE CARPET IS CONSTANTLY COVERED IN MOLD BECAUSE OF ALL THE MOISTURE AND THE SMELL IS MISTY AND SOMETIMES UNBEARABLE. HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WITH ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES AND A NEWBORN. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS A DEALERSHIP, BUT WANTS TO CHARGE $1,000 TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW. MITSUBISHI MOTORS HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB-09-55-002) TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY DRILLING INTO WHERE THE WATER ACCUMULATES AND INSTALL A SECONDARY DRAIN. *TR

I DISCOVERED THE FLOOR ALL WET ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN WET FOR THE PAST 1.5 MONTHS AND SINCE IT'S BEEN GETTING HOT I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH AC DRAINAGE ISSUE. THIS IS A BIG CONCERN BECAUSE THIS CAN CAUSE MY SHOE TO BE WET AND SLIP WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE. *TR
