2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he smelled an abnormal gasoline odor inside the interior of the vehicle. After a visual inspection, the contact observed corrosion on the fuel filler pipe. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA Campaign Number 10V065000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); the VIN was included, and had already been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 195,000.

I JUST HAD TO PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR THE FUEL FILLER PIPE. IT WAS LEAKING AS I WOULD FILL THE CAR WITH GAS. THIS MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.T HE PART THEY PUT DOWN ON THE BILL WAS "THE RECALL KIT". I FEEL THAT MINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED ALSO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (VALLEY IMPORTS, 402 40TH ST S FARGO, ND 58103), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE UNKNOWN RECALL HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. TWO MONTHS AGO THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN. MITSUBISHI REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE BELT BROKE DUE TO THE OIL SHIELD BEING MOVED DURING AN OIL CHANGE. THE OIL SHIELD IS NEXT TO THE TIMING BELT AND IT RUBBED AGAINST IT CAUSING THE BELT TO BREAK. I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WITH THE MITSUBISHI ORGANIZATION. THE SITUATION IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT I HAVE A WONDERFUL AUTO INSURANCE SERVICE (AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIF AAA) AND THEY ARE REPAIRING MY CAR AND INVESTIGATING TO DETERMINE WHO IS REALLY AT FAULT AND THEY ARE GOING TO RECOVER THEIR FUNDS FROM THEM. IT WAS VERY DISHEARTENING TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, YET MISTUBISHI REFUSED TO HONOR A WARRANTY ON A CAR THAT I HAD ONLY HAD FOR 7 MONTHS AND THAT ONLY HAD 28000 MILES ON IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL BE TRADING IT IN AS SOON AS I GET IT BACK AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MITSUBISHI VEHICLE.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS DID NOT OPEN. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 153,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

ORIGINALLY THE LIFTGATE WOULD NOT OPEN ONLY THE GLASS TOP WOULD OPEN. A COMMON ISSUE ACCORDING TO SEVERAL MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR OWNER FORUMS FOR ENDEAVORS FROM 2004 TO 2008. RECENTLY BOTH LIFTGATE AND GLASS WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL UNLESS I USED THE MANUAL RELEASE LOCATED ON THE INSIDE PART OF THE LIFTGATE. HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING RECENTLY THE LIFTGATE AND OR GLASS TOP ACTUATED ITSELF CAUSING THE LIFTGATE TO UNLOCK ON ITS OWN AND OPEN. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE DINGING OF THE DASH INFORMING ME ONE OF MY DOORS WAS OPEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER NOTICED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE CONTENTS OF MY TRUNK TO SPILL OUT ON THE ROAD AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED. MY MECHANIC RECOMMENDED I CHANGE BOTH LATCHES TO BE SAFE ($100 EACH) HOWEVER THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM SO IT WOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I'D BE BACK HAVING TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. I VERIFIED THIS WITH TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER ENDEAVOR OWNERS VIA MULTIPLE FORUMS AND REPAIR BLOGS....

A.C. IS DRAINING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CARPET AND FLOORING ON THE DRIVER SIDE UNDER TO THE DRIVER SEAT TO BECOME SOAKED THROUGH AND WILL NOT DRAIN OUT. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, FOOTWEAR HAVE SLIPPED ON THE BREAK AND GAS PEDALS DUE TO MOISTURE ACCUMULATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SHOE. THE SHOE IS NOT ABLE TO DRY AND PROPERLY GRIP THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS DUE TO THE ACCUMULATED MOISTURE SOAKED THROUGH THE CARPETING UNDER FOOT. HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP: THE A.C. ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES WITH VEHICLE STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. CONTACTED MITSUBISHI CORPORATE AND RECEIVED THE SAME COMMUNICATION THAT WAS RELAYED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A PANIC ATTACK AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PARKING, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK VERY QUICKLY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT WAS TRAVELING TOO FAST. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED, SHE NOTICED THAT THE GEAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. SHE BELIEVES THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 32,000.

I OWN A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR WHICH WAS PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO. ON JUNE 1ST I WAS RUNNING AN ERRAND, GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE RAN INTO THE MALL ONLY TO COME OUT 5 MINUTES LATER TO FIND MY CAR HAD ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF A 1994 CORVETTE. WHEN APPROACHED BY THE CORVETTE OWNER HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME I LEFT MY CAR IN DRIVE. I RESPONDED BY SAYING, NO, I HAVE MY KEYS IN MY HAND, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GEARSHIFT IT WAS IN DRIVE. I KNOW THAT THIS IS PARTICALLY MY FAULT, HOWEVER, I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGINITION WITHOUT IN BEING IN PARK. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2007 ECLIPSE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I APPROACHED MITSUBISHI IN CALIF ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD THAT'S WHAT I HAVE INSURANCE FOR AND TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO PROVE THERE WAS A DEFECT - EVEN THOUGH I HAD PHOTOS - UPON TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL DEALSHIP - I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME SINCE I DIDN'T PURCHASE MY VEHICLE WITH THEM. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME IT'S POSSIBLE MY VEHICLE WAS WRECKED - I RAN A CARFAXS REPORT PROVING OTHERWISE. I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM MITSUBISHI CORPORATE AND AM LOOKING INTO CONSULTING AN ATTORNEY. ALL I WANT IS MY VEHICLE FIXED - ALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO DO IS CHECK THE IGNITION INTERLOCK CABLE AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY AND THEY WON'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT. INSTEAD THEY WANT TO TAKE MY CAR APART TO SEE IF IT WAS PREVIOUSLY WRECKED BEFORE THEY WILL CONSIDER FIXING ANYTHING- AGAIN MY VEHICLE WASN'T WRECKED. SO NOW WHEN I PARK I MAKE SURE MY E BRAKE IS ON AND I CHECK TO SEE IF I CAN REMOVE MY KEY AND 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES I CAN WHILE MY CAR IS STILL IN DRIVE. SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN OFFER ANY INFORMATION TO HELP ME PROCEED I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

THE INITIAL ISSUE IS THE SEAT BELTS IN THE REAR FAIL TO RETURN AND/OR DO NOT COME OUT. THE MORE RECENT ISSUE IS THE REAR TAILGATE WHICH IS NOW FAILING TO OPEN UNLESS DONE MECHANICALLY BY CLIMBING OVER BACK SEAT AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS SWITCH INTERNALLY. WE ARE BEING TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC THAT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE INTERNAL COMPUTER

WINDSHIELD RANDOMLY FOGS OVER. HEAT SWITCHES RANDOMLY BETWEEN HEAT AND AC. GAS PEDAL STICKS EVEN WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO BRAKES CAR ACTS LIKE THE GAS PEDAL IS FLOORED. CAR LUNGES FORWARD EVEN WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY AND STILL LUNGES ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN IT'S IN MOTION HAS HAPPENED IN CITY AND AND RURAL AREAS.
