FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR PIPE THAT LEADS FROM THE PLACE WHERE YOU PUT IN FUEL TO THE FUEL TANK IS MADE OF METAL AND HAS ROTTED AWAY. A HOLE HAS BEEN FOUND AND WHEN GAS IS PUT INTO THE TANK IT LEAKS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND EVERY TIME GAS IS PUT INTO THE TANK. IT DOES THIS SO SEVERELY, IT ALMOST DOESN'T MAKE IT INTO THE TANK AND CANNOT FILL UP THE ENTIRE TANK. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, IS WE ORDERED A NEW REPLACEMENT HOSE (WHICH IS ALSO METAL SO IT WILL EVENTUALLY ROT OUT) AND HAD IT REPLACED. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! IT IS DEFECTIVE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR 2004 FUEL TANK FILL-UP HOSE (SILL HOSE) HAS HOLE - CAUSING FUEL LEAK WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. IT ALSO CAUSE THE SERVICE LIGHT TO TURN ON DUE TO THE HOLES IN FUEL HOSE. DEALER WANTS $600 FOR REPLACING THE SILL FUEL HOSE. HOWEVER, I FEEL IT IS NOT RIGHT, AS ITS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE PART DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT COST TO REPLACE. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE TO ORDER 6 MORE SAME PARTS FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT REMINDS ME OF FORD PINTO - WHICH CAN BE VERY EXPLOSIVE WHEN REAR-COLLISION-ED. PLEASE ADVISE, AS I BELIEVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM DESERVES A SERIOUS SAFETY RECALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WITH A FEW COMPLAINS. REAR WINDOW REGULATOR CAME APART, REAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT CRACKED IN HALF WHILE SITTING IN THE SUN, AND NOW IT IS SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AT 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING THE FRONT END LIKE A BAD TIRE. I REPLACE THE TIRES AND THE CV SHAFTS WITH NO RELIEVE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NO FIGHTING WITH THEM. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FLUSH THE FLUID BEFORE THE DO ANY WARRANTY WORK. BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MAINTENANCE RECORDS THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO HELP EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 10 YEAR, 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I AM IN A RENTAL WAITING ANOTHER DAY FOR A MITSUBISHI REP TO CALL. DID I MENTION I AM A ASE MASTER TECH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL FILLER NECK LEAKING GAS AND FILLER NECK & CLAMP DEFECTIVE ON A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR AWD. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON 08/27/2009 AND THE SUV WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE RT 112 MITSUBISHI DEALER IN MEDFORD NY. THE DEALER CHECKED & FOUND CODE P0456 STORED. CLEARED CODE AND CHARGED $98. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FEW DAYS AFTER. INFORMED DEALER ABOUT PROBLEM. TOOK THE SUV BACK TO DEALER ON 09/22 AND THEY DID ANOTHER TEST AND FOUND CODE P0442, SMALL EVAP LEAK. REPLACED GAS CAP FOR $48.57. TOOK THE SUV TO MOTORWORLD GROUP IN WILKES BARRE, PA FOR PA STATE INSPECTION AND IT FAILED THE SAFETY INSPECTION. THE PA DEALERSHIP SAID "FUEL FILLER NECK LEAKING GAS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED." TOTAL COST $610($265 FOR PARTS & BALANCE FOR 4 HOURS LABOR). THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE MITSUBISHI MONTERO MODELS. APPARENTLY THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT BOTHER TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT AT THE DETRIMENT OF THE BUYERS, PAYING HEFTY REPAIR BILLS FOR THEIR OWN PROFIT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND CONTACT US SOON. *TR

STRUCTURE
I HAVE OWNED MY 04 ENDEAVOR UNLIMITED WHEN IT CAME OUT, DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. I CONTINUE TO OWN IT TO PRESENT DATE 09/09. I NOTICED THE PAINT JOB AT THE TOP OF VEHICLE AND LG AREAS ON THE HOOD AS WELL AS AREAS AT TOP OF THE BRAKE LIGHT AT REAR OF CAR ARE WEARING DOWN TO THE PRIMER. I FEEL THE PAINT JOB WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY AND FEEL MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAINTING. IT WAS DECLINED SAYING IT EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE SPECIFICATION. 3YRS OR 36,000 MILES WOULD WARRANT A NEW PAINT JOB. WHAT HAPPENED TO BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH IS WHAT WAS UNDERSTOOD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE? *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEVOR'S PAINT IS DETERIORATING. *NJ AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE CLEAR COAT OVER THE PAINT STARTED TO DETERIORATE ON SEVERAL PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AND WAS INFORMED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. THE CONSUMER ASKED THEM TO RE-PAINT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, BUT THEY REFUSED AND ONLY PAINTED THE AREAS THAT WERE DAMAGED. A YEAR LATER, MORE PARTS OF THE PAINT STARTED TO DETERIORATE, AND AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO PAINT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON & FRONT PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED & ROTORS WERE TURNED @ 21K ON MY 2004 MITZUBISHI ENDEAVOR IN 11/06. THEN FOUND OUT IN 6/09 WHEN THE BRAKES WERE FAILING ON ME @ 47K MILES A DESIGN FLAW CAUSED THE PINS TO COLLECT MOISTURE & FROZE UP & THEREFORE CAUSED THE CALIPERS TO FREEZE UP RUINING THE ROTORS & THE PADS. SINCE THE ROTORS WERE TURNED @ 21K, THE ROTORS NEEDED REPLACED COSTING ME OVER $1000. WE ALSO HAD WATER COMING OUT OF THE BLOWER MOTOR CAUSING IT TO FAIL. *TR
