My key is stuck in the ignition. We were on vacation and on sat may 23,2020 when we got back to our hotel the key wouldn't release to come out of ignition.

I had replaced the water pumps getting ready to replace it again and when it went out the power steering messed up I'm also having issues with the timing belt it was replaced at 112,000 miles and it was inspected at 121,000 and was okay but it snapped on me the other day the highway replacing it for the second time now at 188,000+ miles not even 100,000 miles later from the first time. This isn't cheap also my heater core went again.

Windshield randomly fogs over. Heat switches randomly between heat and ac. Gas pedal sticks even when applying pressure to brakes car acts like the gas pedal is floored. Car lunges forward even when brakes are applied. Vehicle can be stationary and still lunges also has happened when it's in motion has happened in city and and rural areas.

A. C. Is draining into the interior of the vehicle causing the carpet and flooring on the driver side under to the driver seat to become soaked through and will not drain out. On several occasions, footwear have slipped on the break and gas pedals due to moisture accumulated on the bottom of the shoe. The shoe is not able to dry and properly grip the gas and brake pedals due to the accumulated moisture soaked through the carpeting under foot. Have contacted local Mitsubishi dealership: the a. C. Issue is a known issue and they will not cover the cost of repair even though it is causing safety issues with vehicle stopping and accelerating. Contacted Mitsubishi corporate and received the same communication that was relayed by the local dealership.

The defroster switch does not switch the air to defrost my windshield. This is very dangerous when I will not be able to defrost my windows in the winter. When turned to defrost it blows out of the other air vents.

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.

I bought it like this and don't really know.

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.

The ac gets cold on the driver side but the passenger side only the heat works. You can change the temperature but nothing happens it will remain the same. I took my car to the dealer and was told that there is no recall concern ing this issue but from what I have gathered from other customers who own this type of dr they are having the exact same issue. The dealer can't figure out what is the problem and I paid $1,600 for an unfixed ac unit.

Heater and defrost controls chnange air flow direction and or temperature changes.

Had recall repaired (fuel injection pipe)@ pomoco hampton va. Immediately afterwards, engine light came on while driving 6 miles up the road. Five days later water started leaking on driver side only. Took vehicle back to dealer. They stated, a hose was missing on recall repair. I wondered why whenever I topped off gas @ the pump, fuel leaked from back tire area under vehicle. Fire hazard. They quoted 1500 to fix water leak. Got a it fix @ another auto repair. Six mths later, back to pomoco for yrly inspection, 2 days later, whenever I press brakes, make turns on city streets, highway, or in motion I feel something rolls under my feet but cant see it, must be underneath. A mth afterwards, everything is wet. All the floor boards, puddles. Cardboard, towels nothing will stop the water flow with ac functioning. I have 128,000 miles on the vehicle, bought in 2010 with 51,000 on it. Ever since the fuel pipe recall, that pomoco took 3 mths to complete because they didnt want to do the work which forced me to file complaint with the corporation, NHTSA, & one other, I've had water problems. This will be taken to a higher legal level due to this is & continues to cause harm, intentional or otherwise. We're advised here not to get personal but mold & mushrooms etc, should not exist in a vehicle. I see this has been an issue with lots of others and nothing done to date. Started in around oct 2015 (recall repair) & again may 2016.

I have talked to Mitsubishi numerous times since August 2016. They keep passing the buck or case manager is on vacation. I've been using a hose and funnel to fuel my car because the fill tube has rusted out. This and 4 more recalls on this car puts me in a dangerous situation that Mitsubishi is aware of. I am tired of getting the run around.

The vehicle has a very bad vibration and severe wining sound, not sure what it is but we dont feel safe driving it. New tires , rotors, and breaks were installed and still the same problem. It usually starts vibration at about 25 mph and is hard to maintain a speed.

Water continue to fill the driver's side floor. The water continues to drip on the brakes and accelerator.

See all problems of the 2010 Mitsubishi Endeavor 🔎.

Standing water on driver side floor. Hvac drain plug is clogged and now warning lights for many different items are appearing on dash display and this is caused by water running through. I do not know of many auto makers that put drain plug under dash board. This could very well turn into an electrical and or fire hazard. Contacted dealer and was told this was the first they have heard of this. There are many many many complaints online so they do know about the problem.

Drivers side floorboard has to be vacuumed at least once a week, had ac drain hose cleared the first week of July 2015 when I purchased the vehicle because the floor was soaked when I purchased and brought vehicle home. Now it has ben soaking again the last month.

The motorswitch for the fans on the radiators keep shorting out and starting fires. . . .

The drivers side exterior door handle just snapped off in my hand.

Water under drivers side carpet only. Found ac / heater box housing drain fitment against body bulkhead leaking. Ac drain is on drivers side above accel. Pedal area.

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.

For over a year now water has been leaking onto my driver side floor from the a/c. I've had it looked at by a mechanic due to there not being a dealership w/n over 100 mile radius of me and it is a design flaw and not a warranty issue. I've checked several TSB and online Mitsubishi forums and they all state the same thing. There don't appear to be any resolving solutions to this issue either short of ripping apart my vehicle to possibly solve the problem and reinstall tubing that should have been used in the first place. Developing health complications and mold exposure due to a design flaw is not something I'm trying to risk. Nothing happened to my vehicle. . . There was no damage or anything of the sort. All a sudden water started pooling on the driver side when ever the a/c would run.

Noticed I have water on drivers side floor from ac. Water pools and saturates the floor. Feet can get wet and slip off of brake or gas pedal. Also concern of mold growing in interior. Online search finds this is a common problem with this vehicle and no recall has been issued.

Driver side floor stays sopping wet. I am assuming this is from the ac drain hose. Mechanics want $700-1000 to attempt to fix the problem, but say there are no guarantees as this has been an ongoing defect with the 2004 Endeavor. This raises several safety issues with main one being that feet are wet and slippery and likely to cause being unable to brake as needed due to foot slipping off pedal. Other safety concerns are in regards to the mold due to being unable to keep it dry. Please recall this and have it fixed as it should be. The consumer should not have to absorb this cost when it is a defect that should not have occurred.

My back hatch will not open from the outside!! have to go threw the back seat to open it!!!!.

I noticed that the floor on the driver side of my Mitsubishi Endeavor 2004, bought in the same year, was soaking wet and couldn't understand why since it was not raining. My son noticed that the floor gets soaking wet whenever he or I use the car. I suspect that it might be the aircon leaking but didn't bring it to the mechanic because I was scared of the expense which I cannot afford now that we're on fixed income. Since June 2013, however, the leaking has noticeably increased, and my son used thick bath towels to dry the floor, but I noticed that the towels get soggy with whatever is leaking, but even a couple of thick bath towels not enough to dry the floor. Being concerned about it because it's starting to smell mildew inside my car, I told him to vacuum it, but it still remains wet and stinky that I'm scared for my health and that of my son as he has developed severe allergy, and I'd been sickly also, but I credit mine to old age, but cannot understand his since he didn't have it before. Being very concerned about the problem I decided to go online and found that many others are experiencing the same problem and health concerns. I cannot understand why Mitsubishi hasn't addressed the issue with a recall, or the vehicle owners not instituted a class action suit, which I will join since it's a vehicle defect that Mitsubishi corporation admits exists, yet has not issued a recall even though it's a critical safety and health issue affecting consumers.

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.

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.

Cannot remove key from ignition switch. . . Has always made an echo type sound when you are sitting idle since I bought the car in 2005.

After driving my 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor over the past few years I had a gas leak that I thought was stranger while fueling my SUV . It turned out to fall under the recall for my SUV. I had this problem long before the recall was issued . Lord only knows how much gas I lost at the pump that I will never get back. . . But I recently had a problem with my front rotors I had a Mitsubishi dealer inspect my entire SUV for any and everything else that could be wrong. . Just the other day I went to stop at a red signal and my SUV did brake but only for a second it started to slide forward as I lost braking power in my front brakes I heard a big pop and a clank as I applied my brakes and halfway slid through the light after the light turned green I drove a ways down the road and was hearing the clank sound and it felt as if the front tires were trying to catch on something I thought it might have been the calibers or the brake pads. I pulled into the closest gas station to see what had happened . The pads were fine the tires were fine and everything looked ok no brakes fluid leaking the calibers were fine. . . I slowly drove/coasted my SUV to a friend’s home going about five to ten miles an hour. I took off the driver side front tire to see if indeed it was the brake pads or calibers as I was taking off the tire I noticed that the rotor had split in half. Like separating two plates at that point I called a licensed mechanic and he stated it sound like a defect in the rotors i’ve had these rotors on the SUV since i’ve had it and it was checked out by a dealers service center before this had happened. I wondered since my SUV had to go through the recall of the fuel filler for SUV in the north for salt and snow that would corroded my fuel filler would it be the same for the rotors if they were to have a special kind of rotors for my SUV used in the north during winter, I was told it was a good thing I hadn't been traveling at higher rate of speed it could have been worse.

The out standing recall I had completed 03/15/2011 at dealer no 15102 . . I called Mitsubishi inc in California to fix and remove this recall from their data which it reflects exactly on your data they informed me that there are no recalls on my vehicle outstanding and it's been a week since I reported it to them. I need them to remove it immediately early Monday and email me at tarigkamill@hotmail. Com or call me at 7085909606 attached is a proof the recall completion top second page.

2004 Endeavor, driver side compartment filled with water. Water leaking into car from behind gas pedal area making driving harzardous with wet slippery gas and break pedals. When no compressor is run there is no water, but you cannot get rid of humidity and internal window fogging without running the ac/defrost function which puts more water on the floor. Mold is growing across the floorboard of the vehicle from repeated water leak. Dealer advised faulty washer at hose drain connection, requiring entire dash be removed. $1000 repair for a $1. 50 defective washer in dash. Alternate repair recommendations online require a new hole be drilled in firewall to replace washer from backside.

A/c drains to the interior drivers side floor board creating a sever safety hazard, also rusts out the fan blower.

Water leaking in the car from under the dash. I understand this is common for this vehicle. . . . If this is a manufacture error why should they be required to correct it.
