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.

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.
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!!
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 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.
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.
My 2004 mitsubishi endeavor has some sort of problem that seems to be the same as 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. Have a young child with asthma and allergies and a newborn. I have not fixed the problem because there is a dealership, but wants to charge $1,000 to fix a design flaw. Mitsubishi motors has a technical service bulletin (tsb-09-55-002) to fix the problem by drilling into where the water accumulates and install a secondary drain.
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.
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.
We noticed a lot of water on the drivers side floorboard after receiving the car back from receiving hail damage repair. We contacted the auto repairman assuming that the water was associated with the repair. We were told that it was not that the mitsubishi endeavor has a design defect with the heater core and AC drainage. A second mechanical opinion confirmed this. We vacuumed the car using a shop vac and documented 4 inches of water removed from the car on two seperate vacuuming sessions. A member of the family is allergic to mold and has found the resulting mold to be a health hazard. This is the only mode of transportation for the family and the quoted cost of repairs is in a range of $400-$900. The wet floor presents a potential for physical harm as it is extremely wet.
Like many, many reports the drivers side floor mat is saturated and pooled with water from the AC/HVAC system drainage failure. The manufacture has tsb's on on the issue with foam gasket replacement or initially drilling a hole cleaning it out and installing a rubber plug tsb-08-55-007. Now installation of a hose used for radiator overflow on an eclipse now being suggested no: tsb-11-55-003. How is this not a design flaw and how is the mold and moisture issue not a safety concern. The internal cab parts are not coated or treated to inhibit rust from this excessive moisture. The excessive moisture inside the vehicle also accumulates on the inside windshield of the vehicle as it removed thru the system but re-enters thru the firewall into the floor.
For sometime I have notice that my mat on the driver side is always wet. I'm afraid that the floor is going to give out. Also, my latch on the back just stop working.
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?
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor, the contact stated that as he started the vehicle, there was a moldy smell and he noticed that the driver's side floorboard was completely soaked with water. The water was coming from under the floorboard from the A/C unit due to improper drainage. The dealer was notified who advised the contact that they would have to pull the AC unit away from the firewall and replace a failed seal between the firewall and the A/C box. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 147,000.
Bought this 2004 mitsubishi endeavor used with 64k miles in january. Started using the air this summer and noticed driver's side floor is soaking wet after each use. Found online that multiple people are having this same issue. Called the dealership and they confirmed that mitsubishi is aware of it and have put together a fix between $220-$350 but there is no re-call. I was told the problem is a failed seal in the A/C unit. Also, had to have the egr sensor replaced twice. Called mitsubishi and they said nothing they can do because the car is out of warranty. It ran $400-$500 each time at the dealership.
After driving on a long trip, found the driver's side floor carpet and mat soaked with water. Ac drain tube is blocked causing mold and odor. The drain tube is too short and located inside the firewall and needs to be lengthened out of the firewall (per mitsubishi tsb-11-55-003). The flooring continues to be soaked with water even when the AC is not in operation. This is an unsafe condition due to the stepping on the wet floor mat and causing the break pedal and gas pedal to become wet, causing your foot to slip off the pedals when wet. Not to mention the breathing in the mold caused by the wetness.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. The contact stated the outside door handles were broken on each door. The contact replaced all four door handles and the replacement plactic handles have also broken due to the heat. The failure mileage was 122,000.
My 2004 endeavor has had water leaking on driver's side front floor. Based on the volume of complaints in this forum and others, I would suggest that this is an issue that should be recalled and covered as a manufacturer defect. If it is not recalled, perhaps a class action lawsuit is in order.
1.) the driver's side floor in both the front and back are soaking wet. The water is coming from inside the car. My research indicates this is caused by the air conditioner leaking into the car due to a blockage. 2.) I am having to replace another plastic door handle which has come off within the past three months. These plastic handles are cheap and create a danger as ingress into the car is hampered. Door handles should be metal and should not be able to come off!
Water is leaking onto the driverside front floor everytime the air conditioning runs. Mold is growing and the odor is horrible. I must have read at least 300 complaints of this online by other owners of a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor, and it is without a question, a design flaw and mitsubishi will not admitt to this. Rather, they are asking for more than $1200 to fix it. This problem is more than a major inconvenience, it is a health hazard allowing people to inhale mold while driving, not mentioning the other problems that the water is probably causing, such as rust, and potential electrical problems. Mitsubishi should be forced to fix this free of charge, since literally hundreds of endeavor owners are reporting the very same problem with water on their driver-side floors. Please contact me at [xxx]if anyone has this problem, as well as how we might be able to all get together to force mitsubishi to take action. Thank you.

There is water on the driver side floor underneath the carpet. The AC has not been on and still we had water on the driver side when it rained alittle last night. I see alot of complaints regarding this issue and there seems to be a poor design.
It looks like that the mitsubishi endeavor has design defects where the A/C water leaks inside the car. I started to notice water under driver and rear seats. I thought that this is due to rain but when I took it for repair the mechanic told me that this is due to the A/C and the water is not draining out instead it is draining inside. I also went to the dealership here in jacksonville, fl and they also told me that this is a know problem and happens with this model. They told me that I have to either replace the compressor for $800 or they can clean and do something that will temporarily fix the problem costing $189. They also told me that there is no recall even though they know that this is a manufacturing defect. There is no guarantee that this problem will not happen even if I replace the compressor. Which is insane!!! Searching the internet reviled that a lot of people are having the same issue. So far I drained more than 3 gallons of water from under the driver and rear passenger seats. I cannot use A/C in hot florida weather. So much water inside the car can also cause short circuit even fire. I believe this is a serious problem which mitsubishi should recall and fix.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. While parked, the contact noticed that the front drivers side floor mat was moist. The contact also stated that when it rained, water entered the vehicle and moisture accumulated on all of the floor mats and floor boards. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
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.
Normal daily use of vehicle, went to open front driver door and handle broke off.
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.
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.
2004 endeavor, driver side compartment filled with water. Water leaking into car from behind gas pedal area making driving hazardous with wet slippery gas and brake pedals. When no compressor is run there is no water, but you cannot get rid of humidity and internal window fogging without running the AC/defrost function which puts more water on the floor. Mold is growing across the floorboard of the vehicle from repeated water leak. Dealer advised faulty washer at hose drain connection, requiring entire dash be removed. $1000 repair for a $1.50 defective washer in dash. Alternate repair recommendations online require a new hole be drilled in firewall to replace washer from backside.
Constant water leak onto mainly the driver's side floor board. It has also happened on the passenger side. I am vacuuming out over 1/2 gallon of water every couple of days during the summer. I'm guessing this could lead to mold and/or mildew buildup and corrosion to the floorboard. With all I've been reading online, this is a known mitsubishi problem, but apparently they aren't willing to fix the problem. I also have issues with the air conditioner just blowing hot air after extended periods of time.
