Problems with 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

The a/c drain tube leaks and causes water to pool up on the driver's side floorboard underneath the carpeting. i have had the vehicle looked at two times and all they can do is blow the tube out, which only temporarily fixes the problem. it is recommended to have the dash removed in order to get to the box where the debris is located to repair the seal. i don't have hundreds of dollars to have this done, nor can i do without my vehicle for several days! this should be made a recall because it becomes not only a safety hazard, but also a health hazard. the water makes the floorboard wet, causes the windows to fog up on the inside and causes the flooring under the carpeting to possibly become corroded. plus, it causes mold to grow which makes my allergies flair up. so, mitsubishi if you read this, please consider recalling all endeavors to fix this problem!! *tr

Due to a faulty a.c. filter material, the air condition drain duct is obstructed. the faulty material breaks down and hinders the ability of the condensation to drain outside of the suv. the water has no where to go and leaks into the interior floor board and saturates the carpet and interior components of the car. the water also becomes trapped in a pocket or area of the floorboard and cant drain outside. this problem results in a mold developing and can or will be harmful when exposed to prolong periods! we have had the drain line cleaned out on three separate occasions, at our own expense and the issue keeps recurring? the repair shop states the deteriorated filter material continues to break apart and become lodged in the drain line. mitsubishi has yet to have a recall on this issue and their remedy is to bring it in to the dealership for a repair charge that is expensive, unaffordable and unreasonable! we are having breathing difficulties due to the obnoxious and possibly toxic mold smell. we need the car for transportation back and forth to our jobs and have no choice as we need to pay our bills! surely if this was a minor repair cost we would have corrected it due to the possibly harmful nature, however the repair cost is unaffordable. considering this is a possible safety issue, we would appreciate and feel it necessary to investigate this issue and have the manufacturer correct it. we are aware of the economic hardship that is effecting everyone and are concerned, however insurance and safety of occupants should be upheld above any circumstance! certain molds are proven to be harmful or fatal. thank you *tr

Water is leaking in drivers side due to air con drain i had an accident due to slippery shoes. *tr

Vehicle is making rattling noise from undercarriage during acceleration; high pitched whinning noise during driving after vehcile warmed up. was told by dealership that the intermediate exhaust pipe baffles broken internally, and entire intermediate exhaust needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,400 for part and $150 for labor. vehicle is only 3 years old with 45,000+ miles.*ak

I have a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. a/c works some times in the city. most of the time after driving on the open highway it blows warm air or not at all. the thermistor assy has been replaced as well as the resistor harness for thermistor assy. did not correct he problem. misubishi states (which is false) that the problem i am having was caused by the placement of a fin sensor by an independent garage. what is a fin sensor (never had this replaced) and do you have any suggestions. thank you, bill *tr

Road debris caused a complete failure of my radiator because it is poorly designed with no protection from the front of the vehicle. there is no grill protection in front of the radiator so stones and debris are free to hit the radiator directly and puncture the tubing. this happened to me on 09-22-05. it will cost me $650 for a newly installed radiator from mitsubishi. the problem i am having is the design flaw which leads to safety issues. i am not guaranteed this won't happen again after my new radiator is installed because mitsubishi does not make an accessory to fix the design flaw. this is a safety issue because it will most likely happen on the highway at higher speeds, not city driving. mitsubishi should be made aware of this complaint immediately. *nm

I purchased a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor from dave smith motors in september, 2005. it has been in the shop for repairs 6 times. once they replaced a falsely sealed front windshield, twice they repaired the heater core, and once they repaired the drive line. the 2 other visits were for initial inspection and estimate . now it smells like burning electric wires and it is stalling while in motion. this car is unreliable and has been under repair for weeks! i am afraid to drive it because i never know when it is going to break down. *nm

Early on a saturday morning, i was driving on a relatively traffic free l.a. freeway. i happened to look down and notice the check engine light on and the temp gauge pegged. there was no other indication of a problem. fortunately i was able to get off the freeway before the car stalled. upon inspection a small hole was found in the front of the radiator. the problem seems to be a large grill opening with no screen or other protection. normally the radiator is protected by the ac cooler. but in the case of the endeavor, an inch of cheap fragile aluminum radiator is left exposed to even the slightest of road debris. since the stopping of a vehicle on a crowded freeway could result in a serious accident this needs to be corrected by the manufacturer. radiator was replaced at customer?s expense. *jb *sc
