Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. After the air conditioner was activated, the front driver and passenger side floorboards became moist. In addition, there was a burning odor and an abnormal noise coming from the air vent. The contact also stated that the blower motor for the air conditioner became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the drainage tube for the air conditioner unit was clogged and needed to be unclogged. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 114,000.

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.

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.

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?

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 own a 2004 mitsubishi endeavor. The blower went out about 2 years ago. I had the blower motor replaced ($400.00) in january 2010 by expert tire (no mitsubishi dealer nearby). About 5 months later, the fan stopped blowing again intermittently. I would have to turn the A/C completely off for a day and then it would start working again. Also, it is leaking into the driver side floorboard. Now, I have a musty smell anytime I get in the car. The A/C appears to be working fine now, but anytime I drive in the car for a couple of hours, it stops working again. I've called mitsubishi and reported this several times over the last few years, but cannot get any help. They just tell me to bring it in to the service department. I don't live near a mitsubishi dealer, they don't offer a rental car, and I really don't have another $400.00 or more to spend on this problem. From what I've read online, there are alot of other endeavor owners who have this problem. Mitsubishi needs to take a look at this problem and do a recall. If this many people are having the problem, it's not a fluke accident.

Rolling down the rear windows causes an air vibration that is so loud and pulsing that it hurts your ears. Opening all the windows helps a little, but is still unacceptable. Opening just the rear windows is extremely painful. This problem has been noted by many mitsubishi endeavor owners. This is not the type of issue that can be identified, prior to purchasing the vehicle, when one buys the vehicle in the winter. Why would you ever roll the rear windows down? It is expected that you should be able to do so, without serious discomfort.
