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!
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. the contact stated that the vehicle made a clicking noise and failed to start. the vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired but the issue recurred. the details of the repairs were unavailable. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 200,000. the vin was not available.
Noise of sloshing water in the trunk and water dripping onto the driver's floor; soaking wet carpet. very bad odor! causing a sick feeling. rear passenger windows failed; right and left approximately six months apart. the malfunction caused the windows to fall down into the door panel. roaring noise coming from both front and rear wheels. *js

2004 mitsubishi endeavor, over the pass year are so the black paint has been fading away and they only paint the spots that has faded (why not repaint the hold thing and same time they agree it is a defect). this next problem is current, 12-1-2008 i can not remove the key from the ignition after i put it in park and just rotate the key to turn off the suv the rotation stop and i can not remove it or began to force it to home position my key as of today 12-2-2008 is still in the ignition it will just rotate enough to turn the motor off and that is it, will this fall under the current recall of the electrical ignition problem. *tr
No event leading to failure. several electrical itmes in the car stopped working- radio, display, dealer are currently trying to locate problem, they believe a ground wire is loose.
