NO INFORMATION ON RECALL GIVEN TO ME AT ALL. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY PARKING BRAKES NOT HOLDING AND WAS SEARCHING FOR PARTS ON THE INTERNET. CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MIAMI AND SHIPPED TO VI, BUT NO ONE AT MITSUBISHI CAN TELL ME IF THERE IS A DEALER HERE AND WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE WITH GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED IF THERE IS NO DEALER. I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PARTS I MAY NEED TO GET IT FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC

WHEN THE CONSUMER CLOSED THE GLASS LIFTGATE THE GLASS SHATTERED ONTO HER HANDS. *JB A PIECE OF GLASS WAS PROPELLED INTO THE MOUTH OF A PERSON STANDING NEARBY. *NM

INCIDENT: I OWN A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, THE DOOR HANDLE/PULL ON THE OUTSIDE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BROKE DURING ROUTINE USE. AS IT TURNS OUT, THE HANDLE IS MADE OF PLASTIC. MY DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS A BACK ORDER FOR REPLACEMENT HANDLES, IMPLYING THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THERE ARE NO SAFTEY ISSUES, SIMPLY INCONVENIENCE ISSUES. IN ALL MY YEARS OF OWNING CARS, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME.

THE CONSUMER HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE NONE OF THE WINDOWS WOULD ROLL DOWN, AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REMOTE BUTTON. *JB A WHINING NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE TRANSMISSION. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES WOULD NOT TURN OFF. WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH CONTINUES TO COME ON. *TC

EARLY ON A SATURDAY MORNING, I WAS DRIVING ON A RELATIVELY TRAFFIC FREE L.A. FREEWAY. I HAPPENED TO LOOK DOWN AND NOTICE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE TEMP GAUGE PEGGED. THERE WAS NO OTHER INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY BEFORE THE CAR STALLED. UPON INSPECTION A SMALL HOLE WAS FOUND IN THE FRONT OF THE RADIATOR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A LARGE GRILL OPENING WITH NO SCREEN OR OTHER PROTECTION. NORMALLY THE RADIATOR IS PROTECTED BY THE AC COOLER. BUT IN THE CASE OF THE ENDEAVOR, AN INCH OF CHEAP FRAGILE ALUMINUM RADIATOR IS LEFT EXPOSED TO EVEN THE SLIGHTEST OF ROAD DEBRIS. SINCE THE STOPPING OF A VEHICLE ON A CROWDED FREEWAY COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AT CUSTOMER?S EXPENSE. *JB *SC

THE CAR IS A MONTH OLD. I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A LOUD CRASH, THE BACK WINDOW JUST CRASHED. I DID CONTACT THE POLICE, THEIR WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN.I THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT AND IT WAS THE BACK AND NOT THE FRONT. *AK

THERE WAS A RUBBING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE TRUCK WHEN TURNING AND THE A/C FAILED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE EVAPORATOR HOUSING WAS REMOVED AND THE DEBRIS AND WATER WAS CLEANED FROM THE HOUSING AND BLOWER MOTOR. *BF (TRASH FILTERED THROUGH THE AIR CONDITION VENT SYSTEM) *SC *JB

1. HAD AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE IMPACTED AT 30-40 MPH WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF A PICKUP CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO ROLL. HOWEVER, NEITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS INFLATED IN MY VEHICLE. IF I HADN'T BEEN WEARING MY SEATBELT I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *NM

NEW INFORMATION REGARDING 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR ACCIDENT.*MR THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE DRIVER GAVE TO VEHICLE A LITTLE GAS. WHEN THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS MOVED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. *NM
