,am writing regarding a severe safety issue at the [XXX] Mitsubishi location. Over a month ago, I brought my 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor in for an open federal safety recall regarding a fuel leak (the federal safety agency Recall 10V065000). I was sent away without a safe vehicle while parts were 'ordered.'Five days ago, the new service manager promised a callback the next day. I was ghosted. Today, I attempted to follow up on my parts status, and it appears the service desk has blocked my phone number. I am currently operating a vehicle that actively leaks raw gasoline at the pump in the Milwaukee area. This is a massive corporate liability.

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.

This investigation was opened on december 30, 2009, based on five consumer reports alleging gasoline fuel leaking from the fuel fill pipe. Some of the complainants indicated the fuel fill pipe had corroded to the point of being perforated, allowing fuel to leak from the pipe. We had this fixed in concord, nh. Now it needs to be fixed again. They say they do not fix it twice. I called last november and mitsubishi was no help at all. We have only 115, 000 miles on the car.

After driving my 2004 mitsubishi endeavor over the past few years I had a gas leak that I thought was stranger while fueling my SUV . It turned out to fall under the recall for my SUV. I had this problem long before the recall was issued .lord only knows how much gas I lost at the pump that I will never get back... But I recently had a problem with my front rotors I had a mitsubishi dealer inspect my entire SUV for any and everything else that could be wrong..just the other day I went to stop at a red signal and my SUV did brake but only for a second it started to slide forward as I lost braking power in my front brakes I heard a big pop and a clank as I applied my brakes and halfway slid through the light after the light turned green I drove a ways down the road and was hearing the clank sound and it felt as if the front tires were trying to catch on something I thought it might have been the calibers or the brake pads. I pulled into the closest gas station to see what had happened . The pads were fine the tires were fine and everything looked ok no brakes fluid leaking the calibers were fine... I slowly drove/coasted my SUV to a friend's home going about five to ten miles an hour. I took off the driver side front tire to see if indeed it was the brake pads or calibers as I was taking off the tire I noticed that the rotor had split in half. Like separating two plates at that point I called a licensed mechanic and he stated it sound like a defect in the rotors I've had these rotors on the SUV since I've had it and it was checked out by a dealers service center before this had happened. I wondered since my SUV had to go through the recall of the fuel filler for SUV in the north for salt and snow that would corroded my fuel filler would it be the same for the rotors if they were to have a special kind of rotors for my SUV used in the north during winter, I was told it was a good thing I hadn't been traveling at higher rate of speed it could have been worse.
Mitsubishi endeavor 2004 fuel tank fill-up hose (sill hose) has hole - causing fuel leak when filling up the gas tank. It also cause the service light to turn on due to the holes in fuel hose. Dealer wants $600 for replacing the sill fuel hose. However, I feel it is not right, as its only 5 years old vehicle. I checked the part department to find out how much it cost to replace. The service tech told me that they have to order 6 more same parts for other customers for the same problem. It reminds me of ford pinto - which can be very explosive when rear-collision-ed. Please advise, as I believe this kind of problem deserves a serious safety recall.
Fuel filler neck leaking gas and filler neck & clamp defective on a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor awd. The "service engine soon" light came on 08/27/2009 and the SUV was immediately taken to the rt 112 mitsubishi dealer in medford ny. The dealer checked & found code p0456 stored. Cleared code and charged $98. The light came on again few days after. Informed dealer about problem. Took the SUV back to dealer on 09/22 and they did another test and found code p0442, small evap leak. Replaced gas cap for $48.57. Took the SUV to motorworld group in wilkes barre, pa for pa state inspection and it failed the safety inspection. The pa dealership said "fuel filler neck leaking gas and needs to be replaced." total cost $610($265 for parts & balance for 4 hours labor). The service advisor said that they experienced the same problem on the mitsubishi montero models. Apparently the manufacturer did not bother to correct this defect at the detriment of the buyers, paying hefty repair bills for their own profit. Please investigate and contact us soon.
The fuel filler tube on my 2004 mitsubishi endeavor rusted out resulting in fuel leaking out whenever I filled the tank. The fuel filler tube has a coverplate in pne section to protect it from being damaged. Wet dirt and debris collected in this coverplate due to normal driving, resulting in the fuel filler tube rusting out where it was covered with wet dirt and debris. The mitsubishi dealer repaired the rusted tube by totally replacing it at a cost of $850.00 that I had to pay. This part was approximately 5 years old when it had to be replaced. I have pictures of the rusted tube and coverplate that I can provide. This is a major safety and environmental exposure for endeavor owners and also an expensive repair for a part you would expect to last the lifetime of the vehicle.
