2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXTENSIVE MOLD DEVELOPED DUE TO A LEAK IN THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN PLUG, WATER LEAKED ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CARPET IN THE VEHICLE WAS SOAKED. WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT'S FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL DUE TO THE BOTTOM OF HER SHOE BEING WET FROM THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE WATER LEAKED FROM THE DRAIN PLUG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.”

“MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2006-2008 MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME CAR. THAT IS, THE HEATER CONTROLLER SIGNAL TO THE HVAC SYSTEM CODES AS U111, AND CONSEQUENTLY THE A/C WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL, BUT INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS IT TO BE ON. THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT RECEIVING THE SIGNAL FROM THE CONTROLLER. THE DEALER SAYS THIS RECALL (NUMBER 10V514000) DOES NOT COVER 2005 CARS.”

“I WAS USING AN EXIT TO MERGE INTO THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I MERGED, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE WORKING BUT NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. A SEMI ALMOST TOTALED ME BUT THANK GOD IT MERGED THANKS TO ANOTHER DRIVER. THE ROLLED BARELY MAKING IT TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT. I WANT TO MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR: I DO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONDUCTED AT PROFESSIONAL SHOPS FOR ALL OIL CHANGES AND OR OTHER ISSUES RELIGIOUSLY AND THE MILES ON VEHICLE AREN'T HIGH. IN OTHER WORDS, I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS WITH NO WORKING VEHICLE TO ADD. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A BUSY HIGHWAY. NO ACCELERATION, REVERSES OR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN PARK. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THIS MODEL COMES WITH A CHEAP FILTER THAT ALLOWS ANOMALIES SUCH AS POORLY MADE MATERIAL FROM THE SUV OR OTHERS TO SLOWLY GET IN THE TRANSMISSION. AS STATED BEFORE, I REGULARLY KEEP UP MAINTENANCE TO THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED BUT A GOOD TRANSMISSION ALL OF A SUDDEN DIED AND I TOO ALMOST LOST MY LIFE FROM A SEMI DOING 75 ON A HIGHWAY.”

“WET FLOOR BOARD ON DRIVERS SIDE DUE TO A LEAKING HVAC. MAY CAUSE SLIPPERY FEET WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. ALSO CAUSING MILDEW AND OR RUST. SEEN LOTS AND LOTS OF DISCUSSION ON NET ABOUT THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. AND THEY EVEN HAVE A BULLETIN ON THERE WEBSITE FOR THE PROBLEM. BUT NO RECALL?”

“MY AIR CONDITIONER KEEPS GOING OUT EVERY YEAR. I HAVE OWN THE VEHICLE 2 1/2 YEARS. I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER FIXED AGAIN ( THAT IS THE SUMMER OF 2013, & 2014). I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS COSTING ME AROUND $400.00 EVERY YEAR. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] *TR”
