general problems of the 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor

Two weeks ago I noticed my driver side floor was wet which I assumed was from the umbrella with all the rain. However as of last week it remained wet to the point of soaking whenever the a/c or defroster runs. It was checked by carmax tech, who advised it is due to the hvac drainage deteriorating & water building up in the floor board. To repair the cost is over $1100. 00. The tech informed that Mitsubishi is aware of the poorly design however never recalled on any of the vehicles. After investigating I found Mitsubishi technical service bulletins informing service mgrs, warranty processor, technicians, etc. Of the issue & how to repair (bulletins dated September 2008 & again August 2011 extending the years of vehicles that would experience the issue). To date I have never received any letter from the manufacturer regarding this problem which they are well aware this could cause electrical issues if not repaired including a fire. I have spoken with a technician at the Mitsubishi dealership who informed he was very familiar with the problem & quoted the same price. He never mentioned a recall or bulletins they had received on the matter. I believe this should be a recall/repair at their expense not the consumers.

From the time of purchase the car will not start after gas is put into it when the car is cut off. By pressing the accelerator slightly it will resume normal operation. The key does not come out of the ignition and the parking break will not disengage it. Keyless entry will not open or lock the doors, while at local gas station went inside and car was not there when got outside as if it was stolen but in fact had rolled into traffic and hit a car at the red light causing damage to both vehicles! the police arrived to investigate. A accident report was made and damage and well being assessment taken. The dealer who sold this vehicle to me a few months ago should know what they are selling to customers prior to sell because in this case someone could have lost their lives. I called the dealer and he said it is my problem now and does not want to give me license plates from deposit owed which will all the issues and potential out of pocket costs plates should be given to me in good faith.
