2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor: check engine light

Filed Aug 12, 2016 · Fuel system · VA

Had recall repaired (fuel injection pipe)@ pomoco hampton va. Immediately afterwards, engine light came on while driving 6 miles up the road. Five days later water started leaking on driver side only. Took vehicle back to dealer. They stated, a hose was missing on recall repair. I wondered why whenever I topped off gas @ the pump, fuel leaked from back tire area under vehicle. Fire hazard. They quoted 1500 to fix water leak. Got a it fix @ another auto repair. Six mths later, back to pomoco for yrly inspection, 2 days later, whenever I press brakes, make turns on city streets, highway, or in motion I feel something rolls under my feet but cant see it, must be underneath. A mth afterwards, everything is wet. All the floor boards, puddles. Cardboard, towels nothing will stop the water flow with AC functioning. I have 128,000 miles on the vehicle, bought in 2010 with 51,000 on it. Ever since the fuel pipe recall, that pomoco took 3 mths to complete because they didnt want to do the work which forced me to file complaint with the corporation, the federal safety agency, & one other, I've had water problems. This will be taken to a higher legal level due to this is & continues to cause harm, intentional or otherwise. We're advised here not to get personal but mold & mushrooms etc, should not exist in a vehicle. I see this has been an issue with lots of others and nothing done to date. Started in around oct 2015 (recall repair) & again may 2016.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. The vehicle was included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 10v065000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap). The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told the vehicle was fine and did not need to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. Approximately 1 week later, the check engine light began illuminating on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was told there was a hole within the fuel filler pipe. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer where the contact was told the fuel filler pipe was severely corroded but the hole was in the fuel tank, not the fuel filler pipe. The vehicle was repaired but not under the recall. The failure continued. The failure and current mileages were 134,429.

We noticed that the engine was smelling hot, but no warning lights were on, so we made an appointment with a mitsubishi dealer, while driving it into the shop it began to overheat. After stopping several times to cool off the engine we made it to the dealer only for the car to just then get a check engine light on and stall completely out. We then found out that it was a hole in the radiator and was not covered under the power train warranty. We could not afford the 630 dollars that they wanted to charge us so we decided to have a known mechanic do the work. When the radiator was pulled out we found that since the air conditioning and coolant was behind the radiator it caused rubbing on the bottom of the radiator causing a small pin hole to be rubbed into it. We are working on having it repaired with a licensed radiator shop and replacing. The issue with us is that if the air conditioning continues to rub it will cause more holes and more problems.

Early on a saturday morning, I was driving on a relatively traffic free l.a. Freeway. I happened to look down and notice the check engine light on and the temp gauge pegged. There was no other indication of a problem. Fortunately I was able to get off the freeway before the car stalled. Upon inspection a small hole was found in the front of the radiator. The problem seems to be a large grill opening with no screen or other protection. Normally the radiator is protected by the AC cooler. But in the case of the endeavor, an inch of cheap fragile aluminum radiator is left exposed to even the slightest of road debris. Since the stopping of a vehicle on a crowded freeway could result in a serious accident this needs to be corrected by the manufacturer. Radiator was replaced at customer?s expense. *jb

Car was traveling at 70 MPH on highway-check engine light came on and within minutes car decelerated and stalled in middle lane right before major access ramp with heavy traffic flow. Car completely stalled . Unable to get over to shoulder due to traffic. There was definitely a potential for injury,collision from behind etc. Radiator busted,plugs replaced. Now engine heads have been dissembled and in the process of being replaced. Car has been out of owners possession for 2weeks.
