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. I AM BECOMING QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEPS RE IN SOLVING THIS SITUATION AND MY LEGAL RIGHTS . IM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT INJURIES HERE - PLEASE ADVICE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT WAS FILLING HIS FUEL TANK WHEN HE NOTICED A LEAK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT WAS CORRODED. THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER THE REPAIR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED THE NEXT DAY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FILLER PIPE. HE THEN CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,000.

HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES FOR TIMING BELT ISSUES. 1ST - NORMAL 60K REPLACEMENT 2ND - TIMING BELT PULLEY SEIZED UP AND CAR OVERHEATED 3RD - BELT WAS RUBBING ON SAFETY GUARD 4TH - TIMING BELT BROKE. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE TRANSFER CASE FOR A SECOND TIME. *TR

PROPELLER SHAFT RECALL HAD MY VEHICLE N 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS DEFECT NOW MITSUBISHI IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

REAR SEAT BELT NOT WORKING. *TR

2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR PIPE THAT LEADS FROM THE PLACE WHERE YOU PUT IN FUEL TO THE FUEL TANK IS MADE OF METAL AND HAS ROTTED AWAY. A HOLE HAS BEEN FOUND AND WHEN GAS IS PUT INTO THE TANK IT LEAKS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND EVERY TIME GAS IS PUT INTO THE TANK. IT DOES THIS SO SEVERELY, IT ALMOST DOESN'T MAKE IT INTO THE TANK AND CANNOT FILL UP THE ENTIRE TANK. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, IS WE ORDERED A NEW REPLACEMENT HOSE (WHICH IS ALSO METAL SO IT WILL EVENTUALLY ROT OUT) AND HAD IT REPLACED. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! IT IS DEFECTIVE! *TR

FUEL TANK FILLER NECK ON 04 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR LEAKING. *TR

MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 2004 FUEL TANK FILL-UP HOSE (SILL HOSE) HAS HOLE - CAUSING FUEL LEAK WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. IT ALSO CAUSE THE SERVICE LIGHT TO TURN ON DUE TO THE HOLES IN FUEL HOSE. DEALER WANTS $600 FOR REPLACING THE SILL FUEL HOSE. HOWEVER, I FEEL IT IS NOT RIGHT, AS ITS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE PART DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT COST TO REPLACE. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE TO ORDER 6 MORE SAME PARTS FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT REMINDS ME OF FORD PINTO - WHICH CAN BE VERY EXPLOSIVE WHEN REAR-COLLISION-ED. PLEASE ADVISE, AS I BELIEVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM DESERVES A SERIOUS SAFETY RECALL. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WITH A FEW COMPLAINS. REAR WINDOW REGULATOR CAME APART, REAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT CRACKED IN HALF WHILE SITTING IN THE SUN, AND NOW IT IS SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AT 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING THE FRONT END LIKE A BAD TIRE. I REPLACE THE TIRES AND THE CV SHAFTS WITH NO RELIEVE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NO FIGHTING WITH THEM. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FLUSH THE FLUID BEFORE THE DO ANY WARRANTY WORK. BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MAINTENANCE RECORDS THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO HELP EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 10 YEAR, 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I AM IN A RENTAL WAITING ANOTHER DAY FOR A MITSUBISHI REP TO CALL. DID I MENTION I AM A ASE MASTER TECH. *TR

FUEL FILLER NECK LEAKING GAS AND FILLER NECK & CLAMP DEFECTIVE ON A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR AWD. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON 08/27/2009 AND THE SUV WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE RT 112 MITSUBISHI DEALER IN MEDFORD NY. THE DEALER CHECKED & FOUND CODE P0456 STORED. CLEARED CODE AND CHARGED $98. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FEW DAYS AFTER. INFORMED DEALER ABOUT PROBLEM. TOOK THE SUV BACK TO DEALER ON 09/22 AND THEY DID ANOTHER TEST AND FOUND CODE P0442, SMALL EVAP LEAK. REPLACED GAS CAP FOR $48.57. TOOK THE SUV TO MOTORWORLD GROUP IN WILKES BARRE, PA FOR PA STATE INSPECTION AND IT FAILED THE SAFETY INSPECTION. THE PA DEALERSHIP SAID "FUEL FILLER NECK LEAKING GAS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED." TOTAL COST $610($265 FOR PARTS & BALANCE FOR 4 HOURS LABOR). THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE MITSUBISHI MONTERO MODELS. APPARENTLY THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT BOTHER TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT AT THE DETRIMENT OF THE BUYERS, PAYING HEFTY REPAIR BILLS FOR THEIR OWN PROFIT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND CONTACT US SOON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FLOOR EXHIBITED WATER LEAKAGE. THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE ACCUMULATION OF WATER WHILE DRIVING. THE WATER DAMAGE RESULTED IN A RAPID GROWTH OF MOLD AND MILDEW ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CARPET AREA. A WATER VACUUM WAS USED FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE WATER; HOWEVER, THE IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 62,000.

I HAVE OWNED MY 04 ENDEAVOR UNLIMITED WHEN IT CAME OUT, DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. I CONTINUE TO OWN IT TO PRESENT DATE 09/09. I NOTICED THE PAINT JOB AT THE TOP OF VEHICLE AND LG AREAS ON THE HOOD AS WELL AS AREAS AT TOP OF THE BRAKE LIGHT AT REAR OF CAR ARE WEARING DOWN TO THE PRIMER. I FEEL THE PAINT JOB WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY AND FEEL MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAINTING. IT WAS DECLINED SAYING IT EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE SPECIFICATION. 3YRS OR 36,000 MILES WOULD WARRANT A NEW PAINT JOB. WHAT HAPPENED TO BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH IS WHAT WAS UNDERSTOOD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE? *TR

THE AIRCONDITIONER QUIT WORKING. SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL. WATER LEAKS FROM IT INTO THE DRIVERS FLOORBOARD. *TR

LATCHES DO NOT WORK FOR HATCH. CANNOT OPEN HATCH. *TR

WATER FROM A/C LEAKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I AM TAKING THIS TO DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN EIGHT MONTHS. *TR

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

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON & FRONT PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED & ROTORS WERE TURNED @ 21K ON MY 2004 MITZUBISHI ENDEAVOR IN 11/06. 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

THE CLEAR COAT ON THE VEHICLE IS COMING OFF, HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND NOW EVERY MONTH GOES BY IT IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

PAINT DELAMINATES FROM VEHICLE SURFACE. EXTERIOR PAINT STARTS TO DEGRADE THEN DELAMINATES FROM THE VEHICLE'S SURFACE UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS EXPOSED TO THE METAL. THIS OCCURRED IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND CONTINUED THROUGHOUT MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS A LEASE THAT I WAS CHARGED FOR THE DAMAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY PROBLEM. AFTER A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH, THOUSANDS OF EXACT COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND. *TR

SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WILL RESULT IN SLIPPERY FLOOR CARPETING, BRAKE, AND ACCELERATION PEDALS DUE TO DESIGN FLAW. WATER FROM A/C UNIT ENTERING DRIVER SIDE DRIVERS FLOOR AREA. WETTING FLOOR PANEL AND CARPETING. POSSIBLY A GROMMET IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MANY ENDEAVORS . *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON RT 80 IT WAS RAINING OUT HE WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. HE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND HIT EVERY SIDE OF THE TRUCK INTO THE DIVIDERS. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED AND THERE IS AN ACCIDENT REPORT. *TR

2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR, OVER THE PASS YEAR ARE SO THE BLACK PAINT HAS BEEN FADING AWAY AND THEY ONLY PAINT THE SPOTS THAT HAS FADED (WHY NOT REPAINT THE HOLD THING AND SAME TIME THEY AGREE IT IS A DEFECT). THIS NEXT PROBLEM IS CURRENT, 12-1-2008 I CAN NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK AND JUST ROTATE THE KEY TO TURN OFF THE SUV THE ROTATION STOP AND I CAN NOT REMOVE IT OR BEGAN TO FORCE IT TO HOME POSITION MY KEY AS OF TODAY 12-2-2008 IS STILL IN THE IGNITION IT WILL JUST ROTATE ENOUGH TO TURN THE MOTOR OFF AND THAT IS IT, WILL THIS FALL UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL OF THE ELECTRICAL IGNITION PROBLEM. *TR

THE FUEL FILLER TUBE ON MY 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR RUSTED OUT RESULTING IN FUEL LEAKING OUT WHENEVER I FILLED THE TANK. THE FUEL FILLER TUBE HAS A COVERPLATE IN PNE SECTION TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING DAMAGED. WET DIRT AND DEBRIS COLLECTED IN THIS COVERPLATE DUE TO NORMAL DRIVING, RESULTING IN THE FUEL FILLER TUBE RUSTING OUT WHERE IT WAS COVERED WITH WET DIRT AND DEBRIS. THE MITSUBISHI DEALER REPAIRED THE RUSTED TUBE BY TOTALLY REPLACING IT AT A COST OF $850.00 THAT I HAD TO PAY. THIS PART WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS OLD WHEN IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE RUSTED TUBE AND COVERPLATE THAT I CAN PROVIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE FOR ENDEAVOR OWNERS AND ALSO AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A PART YOU WOULD EXPECT TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE AND A STOP SIGN. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE CONTACT WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT AT THE TIME. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES AND MAJOR ABRASIONS ON HIS RIGHT ARM, BACK, AND HEAD. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

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

I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. IT IS BLACK IN COLOR. THE PAINT IS FADING TERRIBLY AND TURNING WHITE. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A RECURRING AND COMMON COMPLAINT ABOUT THESE BLACK COLORED MITSUBISHI VEHICLES. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CLEAR-COAT AND THE PAINT BEING DEFECTIVE. *TR

THE NOISE INTENSIFIED WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE OR MAKING A TURN. ALSO, THE CONTACT FELT A VIBRATION FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE RELATED TO THE REAR END SPINDLE BUSHINGS. AS A RESULT, THE REAR TIRES BECAME WORN. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000. UPDATED 10/03/08 *BF UPDATED 10/07/08. *JB

REPLACING CALIPERS PINS BOTH FRONT AND BACK EVERY TIME PADS WERE REPLACED.

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I HAVE A BLACK 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WHICH HAS SERIOUS PAINT ISSUES ON THE HOOD AND THE TOP OF THE CAR. THE PAINT IS DETERIORATING RAPIDLY ON SURFACES THAT ARE MOST EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. THE PAINT HAS PREMATURE AGING AND TURNS A WHITE COLOR. THE CAR LOOKS LIKE 10 YEARS OLD. TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE MANAGERS BUT THEY ARE TELLING THAT MY WARRANTY IS NOT COVERED THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH THAT I MADE ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MITSUBISHI OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MITSIBUSHI ENDEAVOR. ALSO, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A STANDING POLICY AT MITSUBISHI MOTORS TO INTENTIONALLY THIN THE CLEAR-COAT ON THEIR AUTOMOBILES IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE MONEY UP FRONT. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP US TO SOLVE THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CABLE REGULATORS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR AND DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. THE WINDOW WOULD NO LONGER GO UP OR DOWN IN THE VEHICLE. EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD DROP DOWN. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NEVER CORRECTED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,099 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,619. UPDATED 08/13/08 *BF THE DEALER STATED THE WINDOW REGULATOR CAME APART. UPDATED 08/13/08

THEY SAY ITS THE DRAIN OF THE AUTO AIR CON SYSTEM IS CLOG I HAVE BEEN DRIVING TO SAN ANTONIO TX 3 TIMES ALREADY AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT YET .THEY ALWAYS ITS READY AND ITS NEVER IS .THEY SAY THEY WILL GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK BUT WHAT ABOUT MY TRUCK OR THE MILES I'VE PUT IN IT PLUS GAS AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF LIKE DRILLING AND CUTTING .PLEASE HELP ME OUT .WHEN IM ON THE ROAD ITS SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE WATER IS MAKING MY SHOES SLIP WHEN I TRY AND PUT THE BRAKE . *TR

THE PAINT ON MY MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 04, HAS ALL THIS OXIDATION GOING ON ON THE ROOF AND THE WINDOW PANELS. I INVESTIGATED THIS AFTER TAKING MY CAR BACK TO DENNIS MITSUBISHI AND HAVING THEM TELL ME THEY WILL PAINT THE SPOTS THAT ARE BAD BUT NOT MY WHOLE CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH MITSUBISHI'S THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS JUST IGNORING THE PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW IS THE CAR MAKERS ERROR. THEY USED BAD PAINT COATING ON ALL THE VEHICLES AND THEY WILL NOT COME OUT AND ADMIT THAT THEY ARE WRONG. IT IS SO AWFUL TO TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS THIS WAY AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO JUST GET AWAY WITH IT. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THESE CARS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE SITTING AROUND SHAKING MY HEAD AT THIS. IF ANYONE TYPES IN MITSUBISHI PAINT IN THERE SEARCH ENGINE YOU WILL SEE THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS ON MANY DIFFERENT WEB SITES. THIS IS JUST SO WRONG.

WATER IS LEAKING IN DRIVERS SIDE DUE TO AIR CON DRAIN I HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO SLIPPERY SHOES. *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

WE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS SMELLING HOT, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON, SO WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A MITSUBISHI DEALER, WHILE DRIVING IT INTO THE SHOP IT BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. AFTER STOPPING SEVERAL TIMES TO COOL OFF THE ENGINE WE MADE IT TO THE DEALER ONLY FOR THE CAR TO JUST THEN GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND STALL COMPLETELY OUT. WE THEN FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A HOLE IN THE RADIATOR AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. WE COULD NOT AFFORD THE 630 DOLLARS THAT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE US SO WE DECIDED TO HAVE A KNOWN MECHANIC DO THE WORK. WHEN THE RADIATOR WAS PULLED OUT WE FOUND THAT SINCE THE AIR CONDITIONING AND COOLANT WAS BEHIND THE RADIATOR IT CAUSED RUBBING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR CAUSING A SMALL PIN HOLE TO BE RUBBED INTO IT. WE ARE WORKING ON HAVING IT REPAIRED WITH A LICENSED RADIATOR SHOP AND REPLACING. THE ISSUE WITH US IS THAT IF THE AIR CONDITIONING CONTINUES TO RUB IT WILL CAUSE MORE HOLES AND MORE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW ON THE HATCHBACK EXPLODED WITHOUT CAUSE OR WARNING. AS OF JANUARY 2, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 73,000. UPDATED 01-29-08. *KB

DUE TO DESIGN FLAW.WATER FROM A/C UNIT ENTERING DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER AREA. WETTING FLOOR PANEL AND CARPETING. DEALER CHARGED $830.00 TO FIX PROBLEM. PART REPLACED WAS A GROMMET ($3.28) TOTAL AMOUNT INCLUDING TAX $918. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MANY ENDEAVORS . *TR

MY 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR HAS SOME SORT OF LEAK RIGHT BEHIND THE DASHBOARD SIMILAR TO THE ONE ON COMPLAINT #10204166. MY FAN BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE AND MORE WATER KEEPS COMING DOWN FROM BEHIND THE DASH. MITSUBISHI IN THE BRONX WANTS TO CHARGE ME A LARGE AMOUNT FOR A REPAIR THAT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

WATER LEAKING IN THE CAR FROM UNDER THE DASH. FIRST TIME WAS IN 2005 SECOND AND THIRD TIME JULY 2007. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR, THE BOX THAT HOLDS THAT EVAPORATOR, COMPRESSOR, AND BLOWER MOTOR. I HAVE WIRE DAMAGE DONE FROM THE WATER LEAKING IN THE CAR. 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

ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2007, I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING SUDDENLY BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ABOVE "H" IMMEDIATELY. I TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONING OFF, EXITED THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY, STOPPED THE CAR, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED THE CAR WAS STILL PAST THE "H" ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE FIRST REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE BOTTOM HALF OF MY RADIATOR HAD DISINTEGRATED AND FALLEN OFF THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE COOLANT AND OTHER NECESSARY PARTS. THE RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, AND COOLANT ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANICS STATED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO A CAR THAT WASN'T AT LEAST 15 YEARS OLD. MY VEHICLE IS A 2004 THAT I PURCHASED IN MARCH 2004. *TR

WITHIN SECONDS FLAME APPEARS OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL AND FLAMES CONTINUED TO SPREAD UNTIL IT ENGULFED MOST OF THE PASSENGER DOOR BEFORE IT WAS PUT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER PROVIDED BY NEARBY BUSINESS. *TR

THE REAR WIPER MOTOR ON MY 04 ENDEAVOR STOPPED WORKING IN SEPT OF 2006. I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT WAS GOING TO COST $321.00 TO REPLACE IT. I DIDN'T HAVE THE $ AND SINCE IT IS NOT A MUST HAVE I DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED. ON JUNE 30TH 2007 IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SMOKING. I WAS THE WORST SMELL AND WAS FILLING UP THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM PREGNANT AND MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRENTY THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY WOULD CERTAINLY FIX IT FOR ME AT $321.00 IF I CHOSE TO DO SO. I DONT FEEL THAT EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, THAT ANYTHING SHOULD BE SMOKING ON YOUR CAR. THE DEALER DID ADMIT THAT THE FUSE SHOULD HAVE BLOWN AND IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

VEHICLE IS MAKING RATTLING NOISE FROM UNDERCARRIAGE DURING ACCELERATION; HIGH PITCHED WHINNING NOISE DURING DRIVING AFTER VEHCILE WARMED UP. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE INTERMEDIATE EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLES BROKEN INTERNALLY, AND ENTIRE INTERMEDIATE EXHAUST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,400 FOR PART AND $150 FOR LABOR. VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 45,000+ MILES.*AK
