Fuel filler neck is defective causing code p0442. car vin was never part of recall. i should get reimbursed for this repair.
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.
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.
Tl*the contact owns 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. the contact stated that a strong odor of fuel emitted inside and outside of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and they discovered a leak coming from the top of the fuel tank. the dealer informed that the fuel tank and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 214,318.
This investigation was opened on december 30, 2009, based on five consumer reports alleging gasoline fuel leaking from the fuel fill pipe. some of the complainants indicated the fuel fill pipe had corroded to the point of being perforated, allowing fuel to leak from the pipe. we had this fixed in concord, nh. now it needs to be fixed again. they say they do not fix it twice. i called last november and mitsubishi was no help at all. we have only 115, 000 miles on the car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. the contact stated that he received a recall in regards to nhtsa campaign id number 10v065000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap). the contact called his local dealer to schedule an appointment. however, he was informed that the parts would not be available for the repair until november 2012. the contact was concerned because they were unable to give him a definite date and when the recall repair will actually be done. the manufacturer was not contacted. the current and failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
