I was going to open a door for my child when the rear passenger door handle just snapped off. Extremely scary. What if it was an emergency situation.

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!

Back tailgate window switch and back tailgate door latch/switch/handles of early 2004 mitsubishi endeavors just fail with no warning and neither can be opened with or without key fob. After some searching I noticed on the internet that this is a common problem. This makes it not possible to access the spare tire, or in case of accident the rescue persons cannot access the car from the back door or window. I understand this has been an ongoing problem with the early 2004 models. I had to pay close to $400 to repair this.

I have had to replace 2 door handles in a year due to them breaking off in your hand with routine use, these are cheap plastic handles with no apparent metal reinforcement. I have owned many vehicles and never had door handles just snap off like this. I am currently contacting the dealer for a 3rd replacement handle. This is a serious safety issue since in an emergency if the handles break then there is no access to the vehicle for rescue other then breaking windows. *nm updated 02/22/07.

Incident: I own a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. About 2 months ago, the door handle/pull on the outside front passenger door broke during routine use. As it turns out, the handle is made of plastic. My dealer claims there is a back order for replacement handles, implying this is a widespread problem there are no saftey issues, simply inconvenience issues. In all my years of owning cars, this has never happened to me.

The consumer had to take the vehicle into the dealer because none of the windows would roll down, and the doors would not lock or unlock from the driver side remote button. *jb a whining noise was heard in the transmission. Windshield wiper blades would not turn off. Warning light in the dash continues to come on.

This is a 3 month old car and purchased the SUV new, and the driver side door locks and window switched stopped working. I took the car to the dealer under warranty repairs and the dealer wanted to charge $80 to look at the problem. So I end up fixing the problem myself in which I replaced a faulty switch. Now my car's dome light does not work. Also affected is the memory for the clock or radio. The remote keyless also stopped working. All of this happened at the same time. The car obviously has problems and the dealer wants to charge me just for looking at it.
