EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, STRUCTURE
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

STRUCTURE
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

MY AIR CONDITIONER KEEPS GOING OUT EVERY YEAR. I HAVE OWN THE VEHICLE 2 1/2 YEARS. I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER FIXED AGAIN ( THAT IS THE SUMMER OF 2013, & 2014). I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS COSTING ME AROUND $400.00 EVERY YEAR. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK WHEN I SMELLED ELECTRICAL WIRE BURNING THROUGH OUT THE CAR. IT WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE. THE CONNECTOR TO THE A/C & HEATER MOTOR WAS CHARRED. DURING INTERNET RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE. WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ON-LINE WAS THAT IT WAS A POOR DESIGN, THUS THE CONNECTING PINS ARE TOO CLOSE WHICH CAUSES THEM TO HEAT UP AND CHAR THE CONNECTOR. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD A NEW PAPER OR BACKPACK IN THAT AREA, IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. I TRIED RECONNECTING, THAT PART I USED WAS CHARRED A SECOND TIME. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *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

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
