  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!

  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

  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

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.

  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 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

I MUST HAVE READ AT LEAST 300 COMPLAINTS OF THIS ONLINE BY OTHER OWNERS OF A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR, AND IT IS WITHOUT A QUESTION, A DESIGN FLAW AND MITSUBISHI WILL NOT ADMITT TO THIS. RATHER, THEY ARE ASKING FOR MORE THAN $1200 TO FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM IS MORE THAN A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, IT IS A HEALTH HAZARD ALLOWING PEOPLE TO INHALE MOLD WHILE DRIVING, NOT MENTIONING THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT THE WATER IS PROBABLY CAUSING, SUCH AS RUST, AND POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE, SINCE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF ENDEAVOR OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM WITH WATER ON THEIR DRIVER-SIDE FLOORS.

  ROAD DEBRIS CAUSED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY RADIATOR BECAUSE IT IS POORLY DESIGNED WITH NO PROTECTION FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO GRILL PROTECTION IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR SO STONES AND DEBRIS ARE FREE TO HIT THE RADIATOR DIRECTLY AND PUNCTURE THE TUBING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON 09-22-05. IT WILL COST ME $650 FOR A NEWLY INSTALLED RADIATOR FROM MITSUBISHI. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THE DESIGN FLAW WHICH LEADS TO SAFETY ISSUES. I AM NOT GUARANTEED THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER MY NEW RADIATOR IS INSTALLED BECAUSE MITSUBISHI DOES NOT MAKE AN ACCESSORY TO FIX THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, NOT CITY DRIVING. MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS COMPLAINT IMMEDIATELY. *NM

  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 CONTACTED THE AUTO REPAIRMAN ASSUMING THAT THE WATER WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPAIR. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT THAT THE MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR HAS A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE AND AC DRAINAGE. A SECOND MECHANICAL OPINION CONFIRMED THIS. WE VACUUMED THE CAR USING A SHOP VAC AND DOCUMENTED 4 INCHES OF WATER REMOVED FROM THE CAR ON TWO SEPERATE VACUUMING SESSIONS. A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IS ALLERGIC TO MOLD AND HAS FOUND THE RESULTING MOLD TO BE A HEALTH HAZARD.
