2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR Complaints

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

MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 2004, 48K MILES, MOVING AT APPROX 40 MILES PER HOUR, PASSENGER FRONT DOOR PANEL NEAR THE LOCK AND WINDOW SWITCHES BEGAN SMOKING AND QUICKLY FILLED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WITH SMOKE SUFFICIENT TO OBSCURE ALL VISION. 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
