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

THERE IS A VERY BAD LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE CARPET IS SOAKED. WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKES (ONLY HARD ENOUGH TO HEAR IT) YOU CAN HEAR THE WATER SWISHING UNDER THE FLOORBOARD. IT HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO NOW SMELL MUSTY AND THE FLOOR IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO FALL IN. *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:BODY, AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT 30 MPH WHEN A CAR SUDDENLY CROSSED THE PATH CAUSING TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE INCIDENT CAUSED SOME VISIBLE FRONTAL BODY DAMAGE AND TRIP TO HOSPITAL WITH SON (SEATED AT BACK SEAT DURING ACCIDENT). THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THANKFULLY SEATBELTS DID THE JOB. I WAS IN THE ASSUMPTION THAT AIRBAGS WERE MADE TO DEPLOY DURING THESE KIND OF ACCIDENTS. WAS THE IMPACT NOT STRONG ENOUGH OR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
TCL( TRACTION CONTROL) LIGHT ON, BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS ON CONTINUOUSLY WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS DISCHARGE BATTERY AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. DEALER SAYS BRAKE SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE. THIS MEANS THAT BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT AND MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. *TR

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
