Problems with 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor STRUCTURE

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!

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. the contact stated that while driving 60 mph, she attempted to apply the brakes and her foot slid off of the pedal due to her foot being wet. she then noticed that the entire floorboard was wet. the vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the drain system from the sun roof could have been the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure and current mileage was 115,000.

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. *tr

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. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. while the vehicle was parked the contact noticed water leaking under the front drivers side mat. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

I noticed that the floor on the driver side of my mitsubishi endeavor 2004 was soaking wet and couldn't understand why since it was not raining. i noticed that the floor gets soaking wet whenever i use the car. i suspect that it might be the air conditioning leaking and it is. it get soaking wet and now i'm getting sick from the mildew. this has been going on for over 2yrs now. i cannot afford to get it fixed. this should of been a recall, i see loads of 2004 had this problem but it was corrected in 2005 endeavors. *tr

The roof rack has very flimsy paint and has been peeling for years. i contacted the dealership and was told it was not covered. i commute on the freeway and 90% of the endeavors i see have paint peeling off their roof rack. i have kept this car in the garage for the last 8 out of 10 years. it has been protected from the elements and isn't driven much and still the roof rack looks awful! if i were looking to buy a new car and saw this, i certainly would not want a car with a paint problem. *tr

Drivers side has wet floor mats, as ac is backed up causing mildew and an unpleasant odor. the whole floor is wet, stretching back to the passengers side. dealer says they will drill a hole and blow out ac, but not guarantee a permanent fix. this is unsafe because the stepping on wet floor mats make the break and gas pedals wet. *js

The drivers side floorboard is always wet. the dealer indicated it will cost $365 to fix. seems that internet forums indicate this is a design issue and not simply a plugged air conditioning drain line. *tr

Normal daily use of vehicle, went to open front driver door and handle broke off. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. the contact stated that when it rained, water would penetrate the vehicle and saturate the driver's side floorboard area. the dealer replaced the windshield and the dash board was removed and inspected, however the failure was not corrected. the dealer advised the contact that there could have been a defective firewall and insulation that caused the water to penetrate. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 145,000.

My 2004 mitsubishi endeavor has some sort of problem that seems to be the same to many others. the floorboards are soaking wet and are causing our feet to slip when pressing on the brake and gas pedals. the carpet is constantly covered in mold because of all the moisture and the smell is misty and sometimes unbearable. my entire family suffers from severe allergies and the mold just makes them worse. i also have a newborn and the air in the car is just horrible to breathe. my windows also are full with condensation in the mornings and it is sometimes impossible to remove all the water from my windows which causes some trouble while i'm driving. i have not fixed the problem because there is not a dealership near by and i also do not have the funds to pay for someone to fix it. *tr

2004 endeavor, driver side leak - water found under the brake and gas pedal when air conditioning in running. the entire driver side mat is soaked with water. leaving the pedals slippery and causing a mildew smell in the vehicle. the slippery pedals are unsafe enough, now i am worried about the mildew growth in my vehicle. *tr

The h-vac system does not work. when air conditioning is used water seeps into the floorboard and completely soaks the floor and mat, which creates a very rank odor. to correct this problem it will cost the consumer approximately $800.00. this is clearly an engineer defect/flaw. we were told by an mitsubishi service rep that the following year (2005) it was corrected. obviously mitsubishi was aware of this problem. why wasn't a recall done on this problem? i think it certainly warrants one. how many other people have been affected by this? why should the consumer assume costs for something that was not made correctly? i am baffled, as to why a car corporation would not take care of their customers? *tr

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

I have owned my 04 endeavor unlimited when it came out, drove it off the lot. i continue to own it to present date 09/09. i noticed the paint job at the top of vehicle and lg areas on the hood as well as areas at top of the brake light at rear of car are wearing down to the primer. i feel the paint job was not done properly and feel mitsubishi should be held responsible for repainting. it was declined saying it exceeded the mileage specification. 3yrs or 36,000 miles would warrant a new paint job. what happened to bumper to bumper warranty which is what was understood at the time of purchase? *tr

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

I am the first owner of a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. it is black in color. the paint is fading terribly and turning white. this is happening all over the hood and roof of the vehicle. i have discovered on the internet that this is a recurring and common complaint about these black colored mitsubishi vehicles. it has something to do with the clear-coat and the paint being defective. *tr

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

Due to design flaw.water from a/c unit entering driver side passenger area. wetting floor panel and carpeting. dealer charged $830.00 to fix problem. part replaced was a grommet ($3.28) total amount including tax $918. it seems to be a common problem in many endeavors . *tr

Dear sir/madam, i have a black 2004 mitsubishi endeavor which has serious paint issues on the hood and the top of the car. the paint is deteriorating rapidly on surfaces that are most exposed to sunlight. the paint has premature aging and turns a white color. the car looks like 10 years old. tried to solve the problem with the service managers but they are telling that my warranty is not covered this problem. according to the research that i made on the internet, there are hundreds of mitsubishi owners that have the same problems with mitsibushi endeavor. also, it looks like it is a standing policy at mitsubishi motors to intentionally thin the clear-coat on their automobiles in an attempt to save money up front. i hope you can help us to solve this. thank you. *tr

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. *tr
