PAINT DELAMINATES FROM VEHICLE SURFACE. EXTERIOR PAINT STARTS TO DEGRADE THEN DELAMINATES FROM THE VEHICLE'S SURFACE UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS EXPOSED TO THE METAL. THIS OCCURRED IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND CONTINUED THROUGHOUT MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS A LEASE THAT I WAS CHARGED FOR THE DAMAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY PROBLEM. AFTER A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH, THOUSANDS OF EXACT COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL FILLER TUBE ON MY 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR RUSTED OUT RESULTING IN FUEL LEAKING OUT WHENEVER I FILLED THE TANK. THE FUEL FILLER TUBE HAS A COVERPLATE IN PNE SECTION TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING DAMAGED. WET DIRT AND DEBRIS COLLECTED IN THIS COVERPLATE DUE TO NORMAL DRIVING, RESULTING IN THE FUEL FILLER TUBE RUSTING OUT WHERE IT WAS COVERED WITH WET DIRT AND DEBRIS. THE MITSUBISHI DEALER REPAIRED THE RUSTED TUBE BY TOTALLY REPLACING IT AT A COST OF $850.00 THAT I HAD TO PAY. THIS PART WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS OLD WHEN IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE RUSTED TUBE AND COVERPLATE THAT I CAN PROVIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE FOR ENDEAVOR OWNERS AND ALSO AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A PART YOU WOULD EXPECT TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE:BODY
ROLLING DOWN THE REAR WINDOWS CAUSES AN AIR VIBRATION THAT IS SO LOUD AND PULSING THAT IT HURTS YOUR EARS. OPENING ALL THE WINDOWS HELPS A LITTLE, BUT IS STILL UNACCEPTABLE. OPENING JUST THE REAR WINDOWS IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED BY MANY MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR OWNERS. THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF ISSUE THAT CAN BE IDENTIFIED, PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WHEN ONE BUYS THE VEHICLE IN THE WINTER. WHY WOULD YOU EVER ROLL THE REAR WINDOWS DOWN? IT IS EXPECTED THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO SO, WITHOUT SERIOUS DISCOMFORT. *TR

I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. IT IS BLACK IN COLOR. THE PAINT IS FADING TERRIBLY AND TURNING WHITE. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A RECURRING AND COMMON COMPLAINT ABOUT THESE BLACK COLORED MITSUBISHI VEHICLES. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CLEAR-COAT AND THE PAINT BEING DEFECTIVE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
REPLACING FRONT AND BACK PADS EVERY 5K - 8K MILES. REPLACED FRONT AND BACK ROTORS TWICE IN 100K. REPLACING FRONT AND BACK CALIPERS ONE IN 100K. REPLACING CALIPERS PINS BOTH FRONT AND BACK EVERY TIME PADS WERE REPLACED. TURNS OUT BECAUSE OF POOR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN THE CALIPERS PINS COLLECT MOISTURE AND CORRODE CAUSING THEM TO FREEZE UP AND NOT ALLOWING CALIPERS TO PERFORM PROPERLY, IN TURN THE CALIPERS ARE RESTRICTED , RUINING THE ROTORS AND EAT UP THE PADS. *TR

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I HAVE A BLACK 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WHICH HAS SERIOUS PAINT ISSUES ON THE HOOD AND THE TOP OF THE CAR. THE PAINT IS DETERIORATING RAPIDLY ON SURFACES THAT ARE MOST EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. THE PAINT HAS PREMATURE AGING AND TURNS A WHITE COLOR. THE CAR LOOKS LIKE 10 YEARS OLD. TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE MANAGERS BUT THEY ARE TELLING THAT MY WARRANTY IS NOT COVERED THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH THAT I MADE ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MITSUBISHI OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MITSIBUSHI ENDEAVOR. ALSO, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A STANDING POLICY AT MITSUBISHI MOTORS TO INTENTIONALLY THIN THE CLEAR-COAT ON THEIR AUTOMOBILES IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE MONEY UP FRONT. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP US TO SOLVE THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE PAINT ON MY MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 04, HAS ALL THIS OXIDATION GOING ON ON THE ROOF AND THE WINDOW PANELS. I INVESTIGATED THIS AFTER TAKING MY CAR BACK TO DENNIS MITSUBISHI AND HAVING THEM TELL ME THEY WILL PAINT THE SPOTS THAT ARE BAD BUT NOT MY WHOLE CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH MITSUBISHI'S THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS JUST IGNORING THE PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW IS THE CAR MAKERS ERROR. THEY USED BAD PAINT COATING ON ALL THE VEHICLES AND THEY WILL NOT COME OUT AND ADMIT THAT THEY ARE WRONG. IT IS SO AWFUL TO TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS THIS WAY AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO JUST GET AWAY WITH IT. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THESE CARS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE SITTING AROUND SHAKING MY HEAD AT THIS. IF ANYONE TYPES IN MITSUBISHI PAINT IN THERE SEARCH ENGINE YOU WILL SEE THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS ON MANY DIFFERENT WEB SITES. THIS IS JUST SO WRONG.
