2005 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR Complaints

DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH STICKS. IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES OF PRESSING RELEASE BUTTON TO UNLATCH THE BELT. *TR

MY AIR CONDITIONER KEEPS GOING OUT EVERY YEAR. I HAVE OWN THE VEHICLE 2 1/2 YEARS. I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER FIXED AGAIN ( THAT IS THE SUMMER OF 2013, & 2014). I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS COSTING ME AROUND $400.00 EVERY YEAR. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE BRAKE FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER, AND WHEEL CYLINDERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, I SMELLED WHAT SEEMS TO BE BURNING PLASTIC, I SAW SMOKE FROM UNDER MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT, SUDDENLY MY A/C STOP WORKING. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICE THAT THE ELECTRICAL PLUG TO THE FAN MOTOR LOOKED CHARRED/BURNT. I REMOVED IT FOR SAFETY REASONS. I READ OVER THE INTERNET THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, THE ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE ROTOR WAS CORRODED AND HAD BECOME FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR SOAKED, AFTER CHECKING FORUMS SOUNDS LIKE A A/C DRAIN ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK WHEN I SMELLED ELECTRICAL WIRE BURNING THROUGH OUT THE CAR. IT WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE. THE CONNECTOR TO THE A/C & HEATER MOTOR WAS CHARRED. DURING INTERNET RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE. WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ON-LINE WAS THAT IT WAS A POOR DESIGN, THUS THE CONNECTING PINS ARE TOO CLOSE WHICH CAUSES THEM TO HEAT UP AND CHAR THE CONNECTOR. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD A NEW PAPER OR BACKPACK IN THAT AREA, IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. I TRIED RECONNECTING, THAT PART I USED WAS CHARRED A SECOND TIME. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

THE REAR TRUNK LATCH FAILS TO UNLOCK. I CANNOT OPEN EITHER THE GLASS OR THE TRUNK. HAVE TO USE THE MANUAL RELEASE FROM INSIDE TO OPEN. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING WATER DRAINS INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSING CLOGGING AND FLOODING OF THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR THE MILEAGE IS ONLY115K. THIS CAUSES BAD ODOR,GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS AND COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BECOMES SLIPPERY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING SAME COMPLAINTS. THEY INSPECTED IT FOR 30 MINUTES AND SAID LOOKS LIKE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. NEXT DAY AFTER USING THE AIR CONDITION FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THE FLOOR WAS FLOODED AGAIN. *TT
