2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR Complaints

NOTICED I HAVE WATER ON DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR FROM AC. WATER POOLS AND SATURATES THE FLOOR. FEET CAN GET WET AND SLIP OFF OF BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. ALSO CONCERN OF MOLD GROWING IN INTERIOR. ONLINE SEARCH FINDS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

THE ROOF RACK HAS VERY FLIMSY PAINT AND HAS BEEN PEELING FOR YEARS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED. I COMMUTE ON THE FREEWAY AND 90% OF THE ENDEAVORS I SEE HAVE PAINT PEELING OFF THEIR ROOF RACK. I HAVE KEPT THIS CAR IN THE GARAGE FOR THE LAST 8 OUT OF 10 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS AND ISN'T DRIVEN MUCH AND STILL THE ROOF RACK LOOKS AWFUL! IF I WERE LOOKING TO BUY A NEW CAR AND SAW THIS, I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT A CAR WITH A PAINT PROBLEM. *TR

ON VAC. WHILE DRIVING NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD SOAKED. READ ON LINE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM FACTORY RELATING TO THE AIR CONDITIONER. WAS FIXED IN 2005 MODELS. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS AS YOUR SHOE GETS WET AND CAN SLIP ON THE BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A $800.00 FIX.MITSUBISHI WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE A RECALL ON THIS?? *JS

WHEN IN DRIVING THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIBRATES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

DRIVER SIDE FLOOR STAYS SOPPING WET. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS FROM THE AC DRAIN HOSE. MECHANICS WANT $700-1000 TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT SAY THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES AS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DEFECT WITH THE 2004 ENDEAVOR. THIS RAISES SEVERAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH MAIN ONE BEING THAT FEET ARE WET AND SLIPPERY AND LIKELY TO CAUSE BEING UNABLE TO BRAKE AS NEEDED DUE TO FOOT SLIPPING OFF PEDAL. OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS ARE IN REGARDS TO THE MOLD DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO KEEP IT DRY. PLEASE RECALL THIS AND HAVE IT FIXED AS IT SHOULD BE. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ABSORB THIS COST WHEN IT IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

RUST/CORROSION ON REAR CROSSMEMBER (SUB FRAME) CAUSED FAILURE OF UPPER A-ARM MOUNTING TABS. CAUSED WHEEL (RIGHT/REAR) TO COLLAPSE INTO VEHICLE. *TR

NOISE OF SLOSHING WATER IN THE TRUNK AND WATER DRIPPING ONTO THE DRIVER'S FLOOR; SOAKING WET CARPET. VERY BAD ODOR! CAUSING A SICK FEELING. REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS FAILED; RIGHT AND LEFT APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS APART. THE MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE WINDOWS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL. ROARING NOISE COMING FROM BOTH FRONT AND REAR WHEELS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT RAINED, WATER WOULD PENETRATE THE VEHICLE AND SATURATE THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD AREA. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DASH BOARD WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED, HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A DEFECTIVE FIREWALL AND INSULATION THAT CAUSED THE WATER TO PENETRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

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
