Body problems of the 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor

The car has been accumulating fluid on the floor of the driver's side. Usure of where the problem was, we have been absorbing the water and airing out the car. Mold has accumulated as well (black mold) and now I know why I've had repeated respiratory problems, including pneumonia three times over the past 2 years. Rust is also forming due to the constant humidity levels inside the car. The brake pedal seems to be rusting as well as the driver's side chair floor mount. I cannot see what is happening to the electrical wiring, as it is covered by the panels. There have been numerous times that due to the liquid on the floor of the driver's side, my foot has slipped while depressing the brake which has led to potential accidents. As I cannot see the floor itself (due to the carpeting), I don't know if that is rusting out as well. I have not taken it to a dealer yet, since I didn't know what the problem was. . . I thought that maybe rain was getting into the car somehow. Well, since it hasn't rained in over one week, and the puddle in the car was worse than ever before, I suspected the a/c system. I went online and have found numerous complaints and yet there is no recall? I am appalled that this situation has not been addressed? fungal respiratory infections can lead to death, especially for those who are vulnerable. Slippery brake pedals, rusting floor boards and rusting seat floor anchors, potential for electrical shorts and/or fires are not acceptable. The company has apparently not taken responsibility for these issues. Perhaps it will take a death for a recall? I would like to emphasize that no mechanic was able to definitively tell us where this leak was coming from, nor were we able to tell. . . Until now. It has been two years. This car has no resell value and should not be sold due to the potential for serious harm. This matter is long overdue!.

I was going to open a door for my child when the rear passenger door handle just snapped off. Extremely scary. What if it was an emergency situation.

This problem is not related to the age of vehicle, nor is it owner-created. It is a manufacturer design flaw. Driver-side front floor stays soaking wet. Shoes get wet and slippery which is dangerous while pressing on gas and brake pedals (driving hazard). Mold continues to grow even after cleaned (health hazard). Told that the problem is a failed grommet from the evaporator core drain. No recall has been issued ($700 repair estimate to replace grommet). Due to health and safety hazards, a recall should be issued for this manufacturer flaw/faulty material!.

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.

The clear coat on the vehicle is coming off, have noticed the problem for the last couple of years and now every month goes by it is getting worse.

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.

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.
