Owner-reported complaints naming the powertrain system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed

Every record below is an owner-reported complaint about the 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor submitted to NHTSA — not a confirmed defect, not a recall and not a manufacturer bulletin. 9 reports on file name it.

I PARKED MY 2004 ENDEAVOR IN THE GARAGE LIKE I DO EVERY DAY WHEN I RETURN HOME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMOVED THE IGNITION KEY. I TOOK SOME GROCERIES FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT, CLOSED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND WENT INSIDE. I CAME OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER TO RETRIEVE THE REST OF MY GROCERIES BUT THE CAR WAS MISSING! I LOOKED OUT THE GARAGE DOOR (WHICH WAS OPEN) AND SAW MY CAR CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET. WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR I NOTED THAT THE GEAR WAS IN REVERSE! THE BACK END OF THE ENDEAVOR WAS DEMOLISHED. THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE WAS DAMAGED ALONG WITH THE MAILBOX AND POLE AND GARDEN LIGHTS THAT THE CAR RAN OVER. *JB

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
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
