EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PARKING, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK VERY QUICKLY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT WAS TRAVELING TOO FAST. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED, SHE NOTICED THAT THE GEAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. SHE BELIEVES THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 32,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
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

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
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.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WHICH WAS PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO. ON JUNE 1ST I WAS RUNNING AN ERRAND, GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE RAN INTO THE MALL ONLY TO COME OUT 5 MINUTES LATER TO FIND MY CAR HAD ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF A 1994 CORVETTE. WHEN APPROACHED BY THE CORVETTE OWNER HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME I LEFT MY CAR IN DRIVE. I RESPONDED BY SAYING, NO, I HAVE MY KEYS IN MY HAND, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GEARSHIFT IT WAS IN DRIVE. I KNOW THAT THIS IS PARTICALLY MY FAULT, HOWEVER, I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGINITION WITHOUT IN BEING IN PARK. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2007 ECLIPSE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I APPROACHED MITSUBISHI IN CALIF ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD THAT'S WHAT I HAVE INSURANCE FOR AND TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO PROVE THERE WAS A DEFECT - EVEN THOUGH I HAD PHOTOS - UPON TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL DEALSHIP - I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME SINCE I DIDN'T PURCHASE MY VEHICLE WITH THEM. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME IT'S POSSIBLE MY VEHICLE WAS WRECKED - I RAN A CARFAXS REPORT PROVING OTHERWISE. I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM MITSUBISHI CORPORATE AND AM LOOKING INTO CONSULTING AN ATTORNEY. ALL I WANT IS MY VEHICLE FIXED - ALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO DO IS CHECK THE IGNITION INTERLOCK CABLE AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY AND THEY WON'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT. INSTEAD THEY WANT TO TAKE MY CAR APART TO SEE IF IT WAS PREVIOUSLY WRECKED BEFORE THEY WILL CONSIDER FIXING ANYTHING- AGAIN MY VEHICLE WASN'T WRECKED. SO NOW WHEN I PARK I MAKE SURE MY E BRAKE IS ON AND I CHECK TO SEE IF I CAN REMOVE MY KEY AND 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES I CAN WHILE MY CAR IS STILL IN DRIVE. SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN OFFER ANY INFORMATION TO HELP ME PROCEED I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. TWO MONTHS AGO THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN. MITSUBISHI REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE BELT BROKE DUE TO THE OIL SHIELD BEING MOVED DURING AN OIL CHANGE. THE OIL SHIELD IS NEXT TO THE TIMING BELT AND IT RUBBED AGAINST IT CAUSING THE BELT TO BREAK. I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WITH THE MITSUBISHI ORGANIZATION. THE SITUATION IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT I HAVE A WONDERFUL AUTO INSURANCE SERVICE (AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIF AAA) AND THEY ARE REPAIRING MY CAR AND INVESTIGATING TO DETERMINE WHO IS REALLY AT FAULT AND THEY ARE GOING TO RECOVER THEIR FUNDS FROM THEM. IT WAS VERY DISHEARTENING TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, YET MISTUBISHI REFUSED TO HONOR A WARRANTY ON A CAR THAT I HAD ONLY HAD FOR 7 MONTHS AND THAT ONLY HAD 28000 MILES ON IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL BE TRADING IT IN AS SOON AS I GET IT BACK AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MITSUBISHI VEHICLE.*JB
