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.

STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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

I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 2004 WAS SOAKING WET AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SINCE IT WAS NOT RAINING. I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR GETS SOAKING WET WHENEVER I USE THE CAR. I SUSPECT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE AIR CONDITIONING LEAKING AND IT IS. IT GET SOAKING WET AND NOW I'M GETTING SICK FROM THE MILDEW. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2YRS NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL, I SEE LOADS OF 2004 HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT IT WAS CORRECTED IN 2005 ENDEAVORS. *TR

STRUCTURE
I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 2004, BOUGHT IN THE SAME YEAR, WAS SOAKING WET AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SINCE IT WAS NOT RAINING. MY SON NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR GETS SOAKING WET WHENEVER HE OR I USE THE CAR. I SUSPECT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE AIRCON LEAKING BUT DIDN'T BRING IT TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE I WAS SCARED OF THE EXPENSE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD NOW THAT WE'RE ON FIXED INCOME. SINCE JUNE 2013, HOWEVER, THE LEAKING HAS NOTICEABLY INCREASED, AND MY SON USED THICK BATH TOWELS TO DRY THE FLOOR, BUT I NOTICED THAT THE TOWELS GET SOGGY WITH WHATEVER IS LEAKING, BUT EVEN A COUPLE OF THICK BATH TOWELS NOT ENOUGH TO DRY THE FLOOR. BEING CONCERNED ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S STARTING TO SMELL MILDEW INSIDE MY CAR, I TOLD HIM TO VACUUM IT, BUT IT STILL REMAINS WET AND STINKY THAT I'M SCARED FOR MY HEALTH AND THAT OF MY SON AS HE HAS DEVELOPED SEVERE ALLERGY, AND I'D BEEN SICKLY ALSO, BUT I CREDIT MINE TO OLD AGE, BUT CANNOT UNDERSTAND HIS SINCE HE DIDN'T HAVE IT BEFORE. BEING VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM I DECIDED TO GO ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HEALTH CONCERNS. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MITSUBISHI HASN'T ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH A RECALL, OR THE VEHICLE OWNERS NOT INSTITUTED A CLASS ACTION SUIT, WHICH I WILL JOIN SINCE IT'S A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT MITSUBISHI CORPORATION ADMITS EXISTS, YET HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CRITICAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE AFFECTING CONSUMERS. *TR

MY 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR HAS SOME SORT OF PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS OTHERS. THE FLOORBOARDS ARE SOAKING WET AND ARE CAUSING OUR FEET TO SLIP WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. THE CARPET IS CONSTANTLY COVERED IN MOLD BECAUSE OF ALL THE MOISTURE AND THE SMELL IS MISTY AND SOMETIMES UNBEARABLE. HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WITH ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES AND A NEWBORN. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS A DEALERSHIP, BUT WANTS TO CHARGE $1,000 TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW. MITSUBISHI MOTORS HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB-09-55-002) TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY DRILLING INTO WHERE THE WATER ACCUMULATES AND INSTALL A SECONDARY DRAIN. *TR

I DISCOVERED THE FLOOR ALL WET ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN WET FOR THE PAST 1.5 MONTHS AND SINCE IT'S BEEN GETTING HOT I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH AC DRAINAGE ISSUE. THIS IS A BIG CONCERN BECAUSE THIS CAN CAUSE MY SHOE TO BE WET AND SLIP WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE. *TR

STRUCTURE
WE NOTICED A LOT OF WATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR BACK FROM RECEIVING HAIL DAMAGE REPAIR. WE CONTACTED THE AUTO REPAIRMAN ASSUMING THAT THE WATER WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPAIR. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT THAT THE MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR HAS A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE AND AC DRAINAGE. A SECOND MECHANICAL OPINION CONFIRMED THIS. WE VACUUMED THE CAR USING A SHOP VAC AND DOCUMENTED 4 INCHES OF WATER REMOVED FROM THE CAR ON TWO SEPERATE VACUUMING SESSIONS. A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IS ALLERGIC TO MOLD AND HAS FOUND THE RESULTING MOLD TO BE A HEALTH HAZARD. THIS IS THE ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE FAMILY AND THE QUOTED COST OF REPAIRS IS IN A RANGE OF $400-$900. THE WET FLOOR PRESENTS A POTENTIAL FOR PHYSICAL HARM AS IT IS EXTREMELY WET. *TR

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
LIKE MANY, MANY REPORTS THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT IS SATURATED AND POOLED WITH WATER FROM THE AC/HVAC SYSTEM DRAINAGE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE HAS TSB'S ON ON THE ISSUE WITH FOAM GASKET REPLACEMENT OR INITIALLY DRILLING A HOLE CLEANING IT OUT AND INSTALLING A RUBBER PLUG TSB-08-55-007. NOW INSTALLATION OF A HOSE USED FOR RADIATOR OVERFLOW ON AN ECLIPSE NOW BEING SUGGESTED NO: TSB-11-55-003. HOW IS THIS NOT A DESIGN FLAW AND HOW IS THE MOLD AND MOISTURE ISSUE NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. THE INTERNAL CAB PARTS ARE NOT COATED OR TREATED TO INHIBIT RUST FROM THIS EXCESSIVE MOISTURE. THE EXCESSIVE MOISTURE INSIDE THE VEHICLE ALSO ACCUMULATES ON THE INSIDE WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE AS IT REMOVED THRU THE SYSTEM BUT RE-ENTERS THRU THE FIREWALL INTO THE FLOOR. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
THE H-VAC SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS USED WATER SEEPS INTO THE FLOORBOARD AND COMPLETELY SOAKS THE FLOOR AND MAT, WHICH CREATES A VERY RANK ODOR. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IT WILL COST THE CONSUMER APPROXIMATELY $800.00. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ENGINEER DEFECT/FLAW. WE WERE TOLD BY AN MITSUBISHI SERVICE REP THAT THE FOLLOWING YEAR (2005) IT WAS CORRECTED. OBVIOUSLY MITSUBISHI WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T A RECALL DONE ON THIS PROBLEM? I THINK IT CERTAINLY WARRANTS ONE. HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS? WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER ASSUME COSTS FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT MADE CORRECTLY? I AM BAFFLED, AS TO WHY A CAR CORPORATION WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS? *TR
