Fuel/propulsion system
5 reports
“I bought this car used and found out the 2010-02-25 United States FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP is and was in a safety recall when i pump gas the filler tube leaks gas onto the ground so i called a dealership here in Iowa and was told there is no recalls on this vehicle so i sent them the documentation from Mitsubishi was told after they looked it up its already been fixed so they will not do the recall work again was also told once a vehicle is to old they don't have to recall work that is not true if its on the road and licensed they have to do the work.”
Air bags
3 reports1 crash1 related recall
“TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND STRUCK A CONCRETE MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S CHILD SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT NOTED THAT THE CHILD'S HEADACHE WAS WITHSTANDING AFTER MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A JUNK YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.”
Seat belts
2 reports
“TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT FIX MY PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT MITSUBISHI STOPPED MANUFACTURING THE PART NEEDED. THE CAR IS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD! YES THEY DISCONTINUED THIS MODEL BUT THE PARTS? THIS IS RIDICULOUS, MY AIR BAG SENSOR IS DISABLED AND TURNED OFF WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I CANNOT FIX IT AND I WONDER IF I CAN EVEN SELL IT DUE TO THE FACT IT HAS NO WORKING AIR BAGS. HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS? I THOUGHT THE NHTSA WAS A PLACE WHERE CONSUMERS OF CARS SOLD IN THIS COUNTRY COULD GO TO HELP REMEDY THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS.”
Exterior lighting
1 report
“WATER CONTINUE TO FILL THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR. THE WATER CONTINUES TO DRIP ON THE BRAKES AND ACCELERATOR.”
Service brakes, hydraulic
1 report
“WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, MOISTURE APPEARS ON ALL FOUR CALIPERS. RUST ON ALL CALIPERS. RESIDUE ON MASTER CYLINDER AS WELL. REFILLED BRAKE FLUID UNDER HOOD TWICE. STRONG BURNING BRAKE FLUID SMELL WHEN DRIVING. NEW VEHICLE WITH 4K MILES. CAR TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER, EUGENE OR MITSUBISHI. SERVICE DEPT LOOKED AT BRAKES AND RAN TESTS. SERVICE MANAGER, SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE MOISTURE IS COMING FROM AND CAN'T FIND SOURCE OF LEAK. ALTHOUGH PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES ARE DANGEROUS, AND THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM, DISTRICT REP WILL NOT AUTHORIZE SERVICE DONE TO BRAKES BECAUSE SOURCE WAS NOT PIN POINTED. I CALLED CORPORATE AND OPENED A CASE BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. I NEED SERVICE DONE. I CAN'T TAKE IT ELSEWHERE BECAUSE IT WILL VOID WARRANTY. LEAKING BRAKE FLUID IS DANGEROUS. NO BRAKE FLUID MEANS NO STOPPING. RUSTED CALIPERS CAN SEIZE UP WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS. BRAKE PADS SOAKED WITH BRAKE FLUID WON'T WORK. SHOULD NOT BE HAVING BRAKE ISSUES ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I JUST WANT MITSUBISHI TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY, REPLACE THE RUSTED PARTS, FIND THE LEAKING PARTS, REPLACE THE LEAKING PARTS, AND FLUSH THE BRAKE FLUID.”
Steering
1 report
“CAR HESITATES OR TRIES TO STALL WHILE MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS AS WELL AS THE STEERING DOES NOT ALWAYS WANT TO AUTO CORRECT AFTER COMPLETION OF A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON A BUSY STREET. *TR”
