Body Problems of Mitsubishi Endeavor

This vehicle has a potential manufacturer defect in the rear window regarding the defroster. After repeated use of the defroster heating up the window and cooling down the elements in the glass contracted and expanded and shattered the back window spontaneously causing an over $600 repair. There was no prior damage and no other possible causation that occurred for this and the vehicle window repair specialist looked at it and determined to that the fracture line was caused by these elements embedded in the glass this needs to be investigated.

I just bought this vehicle used in may. I noticed that the carpet gets soaked, actually a puddle of water underneath the drivers side feet. The floorboard and carpet get saturated and needs to be vacuumed at least one time a week. The water soaks my shoes and is a distraction while driving. The dealer blew out the ac line and vacuumed the water out, but said they are unable to do anything else with it.

As I was driving on the highway and and as I sped up the vehicle kept fish tailing it felt like it was the front of the vehicle . So I went straight to my mechanic and he showed me the rust of the rear subframe of the car and it was detached and broken. He suggested I not drive the vehicle because I amy lose CO trol of the vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor. The contact stated that extensive mold developed due to a leak in the vehicle. Due to the placement of the air conditioning drain plug, water leaked onto the floorboard. The contact stated that the carpet in the vehicle was soaked. While driving and attempting to depress the brake pedal, the contact's foot slipped off of the brake pedal due to the bottom of her shoe being wet from the leak. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics who confirmed that the water leaked from the drain plug. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.

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!.

My door handles on the driver side and the back seat passager on the driver side door handles just broke off.

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.

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!.

Drivers side floor soaked, after checking forums sounds like a a/c drain issue.

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?.

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.

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.

2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor. Had the vehicle for 3 days drove around town in a mild snow and rain. The next day noticed water had leaked into the interior cabin under driver side carpeting. Took two large towels to soak up water. Called dealer. Bringing it to service dept tommorow. I noted there are previous TSB's concerning the problem .

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.
