LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 DOOR HANDLES IN A YEAR DUE TO THEM BREAKING OFF IN YOUR HAND WITH ROUTINE USE, THESE ARE CHEAP PLASTIC HANDLES WITH NO APPARENT METAL REINFORCEMENT. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD DOOR HANDLES JUST SNAP OFF LIKE THIS. I AM CURRENTLY CONTACTING THE DEALER FOR A 3RD REPLACEMENT HANDLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN AN EMERGENCY IF THE HANDLES BREAK THEN THERE IS NO ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE FOR RESCUE OTHER THEN BREAKING WINDOWS. *NM UPDATED 02/22/07.*JB

PARKING BRAKE, POWER TRAIN
I PARKED MY 2004 ENDEAVOR IN THE GARAGE LIKE I DO EVERY DAY WHEN I RETURN HOME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMOVED THE IGNITION KEY. I TOOK SOME GROCERIES FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT, CLOSED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND WENT INSIDE. I CAME OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER TO RETRIEVE THE REST OF MY GROCERIES BUT THE CAR WAS MISSING! I LOOKED OUT THE GARAGE DOOR (WHICH WAS OPEN) AND SAW MY CAR CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET. WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR I NOTED THAT THE GEAR WAS IN REVERSE! THE BACK END OF THE ENDEAVOR WAS DEMOLISHED. THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE WAS DAMAGED ALONG WITH THE MAILBOX AND POLE AND GARDEN LIGHTS THAT THE CAR RAN OVER. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR AND THE ONLY OWNER. ON FRIDAY, 06/10/06 THE CAR BROKE, I PUT IT IN DRIVING AND THE TRUCK WENT (2 TIMES) REVERSED . I ALMOST HIT A CAR BEHIND ME. I CALLED MITSUBISHI DEALER , AND THAT IS WHEN THE NIGHT MARE STARTED. IT TOOK OVER 15 PHONE CALLS TO GET MY TRUCK TOWING TO THE DEALER. THEY REQUEST MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND STILL ARE REFUSING TO FIXED MY CAR. MY CAR HAS 62,600 MILES UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS COVER THE POWER TRAIN UP TO 100,000 MILES. TODAY IS BEING 9 DAYS SINCE THE INCIDENT. I ALSO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THAT WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE COVER BY MITSUBISHI. THE DEALER, CROWN MITSUBISHI IN ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA IS REFUSING TO TELL ME WHO IS THE CONTACT PERSON IN MITSUBISHI WHO SUPPOSED TO APPROVE MY REPAIRS. MY CAR IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. I HAD RECORDS OF CONTINUES MAINTENANCE 17 OF THEM. THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND SINCE, THIS STARTED. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION -- A HIGH PITCH WHINING NOISE VERIFIED BY DEALER AS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER RELATIONS ADJUDICATION, DIRECT FROM MANAGEMENT, IS THAT THE "NOISE IS NORMAL". THIS IS A BLATANT INSULT TO MY INTELLIGENCE. *NM

STRUCTURE
2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 4X4, AT THE TIME I REPORTED THE RUSTING PROBLEM I HAD UNDER 20,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. IT HAS HEAVY RUST UNDER THE BACK SEATS, ON THE HINGES THAT OPERATE THE SEATS, THE COIL CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEAT, THE AREA WHERE THE JACK IS STORED AND THE JACK ITSELF. I NOTIFIED THE COMPANY AND THERE RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. I CAN FIND NO ONE ELSE WHO AGREES WITH THIS STATEMENT. I HAVE PICTURES AVAILABLE AND WOULD LIKE HELP IN THIS MATTER. MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH HAVE ALLERGIES AND IF THERE IS THAT MUCH MOISTURE IN THIS VEHICLE I AM AFRAID THAT THERE MAY ALSO BE UNSEEN MOLD THAT COULD BE HARMFUL AS WELL. I FEEL I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS NICELY, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *NM

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE HE INSISTED THAT THE DEALER CONVERT THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO A POWER OPERATED SEAT. AFTER THE POWER SEAT WAS INSTALLED THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHICH WAS INCONCLUSIVE. THE DEALER BELIEVED IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE POWER SEAT THAT CAUSED THE SRS LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER ORDERED AN AIR BAG TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I PURCHASED A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR FROM DAVE SMITH MOTORS IN SEPTEMBER, 2005. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS 6 TIMES. ONCE THEY REPLACED A FALSELY SEALED FRONT WINDSHIELD, TWICE THEY REPAIRED THE HEATER CORE, AND ONCE THEY REPAIRED THE DRIVE LINE. THE 2 OTHER VISITS WERE FOR INITIAL INSPECTION AND ESTIMATE . NOW IT SMELLS LIKE BURNING ELECTRIC WIRES AND IT IS STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND HAS BEEN UNDER REPAIR FOR WEEKS! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1. MY 2005 ENDEAVOR HAS 11,000 KMS, COVERED BY THE WARRANTY (IT HAS LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. LST FRIDAY I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY TO MY WORK WHEN I FELT THUMPS AND IF IT WERE PULLING BACK AND FORTH. I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT I MANAGED TO PARK, AND WHEN I DID SOMETHING UNDER IT RIPPED OFF AND A HUGE SPOT OF OIL APPEARED. IT LEAKED ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE PAVEMENT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LETHAL IF IT WERE ON A ROAD, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. NOW MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE WARRANTY. THE CAUSE WAS A BROKEN HOSE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH CAUSED THE LEAKAGE. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
ROAD DEBRIS CAUSED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY RADIATOR BECAUSE IT IS POORLY DESIGNED WITH NO PROTECTION FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO GRILL PROTECTION IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR SO STONES AND DEBRIS ARE FREE TO HIT THE RADIATOR DIRECTLY AND PUNCTURE THE TUBING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON 09-22-05. IT WILL COST ME $650 FOR A NEWLY INSTALLED RADIATOR FROM MITSUBISHI. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THE DESIGN FLAW WHICH LEADS TO SAFETY ISSUES. I AM NOT GUARANTEED THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER MY NEW RADIATOR IS INSTALLED BECAUSE MITSUBISHI DOES NOT MAKE AN ACCESSORY TO FIX THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, NOT CITY DRIVING. MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS COMPLAINT IMMEDIATELY. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
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

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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
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
