| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY | 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 *SC |
| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE A 2006 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. TWO MONTHS AGO THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN. MITSUBISHI REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE BELT BROKE DUE TO THE OIL SHIELD BEING MOVED DURING AN OIL CHANGE. THE OIL SHIELD IS NEXT TO THE TIMING BELT AND IT RUBBED AGAINST IT CAUSING THE BELT TO BREAK. I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WITH THE MITSUBISHI ORGANIZATION. THE SITUATION IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT I HAVE A WONDERFUL AUTO INSURANCE SERVICE (AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIF AAA) AND THEY ARE REPAIRING MY CAR AND INVESTIGATING TO DETERMINE WHO IS REALLY AT FAULT AND THEY ARE GOING TO RECOVER THEIR FUNDS FROM THEM. IT WAS VERY DISHEARTENING TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, YET MISTUBISHI REFUSED TO HONOR A WARRANTY ON A CAR THAT I HAD ONLY HAD FOR 7 MONTHS AND THAT ONLY HAD 28000 MILES ON IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL BE TRADING IT IN AS SOON AS I GET IT BACK AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MITSUBISHI VEHICLE.*JB |
