| 2004 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECEIVED A RECALL IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V065000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE CONTACT CALLED HIS LOCAL DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR UNTIL NOVEMBER 2012. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE HIM A DEFINITE DATE AND WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WILL ACTUALLY BE DONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000. |
| 2004 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I NOTICED WATER DROPPING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS DASHBOARD OCCASIONALLY AND THOUGHT IT WAS CONDENSATION/SWEATING IN JULY 2010. THIS YEAR ON VACATION I NOTICED THE CARPET WAS FULL OF WATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE INCLUDING THE REAR FLOORBOARD WITH MILDEW GROWING EVERY WHERE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE , SO I DON'T DRIVE IT VERY OFTEN. SHE HAD BRONCHITIS FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS THIS SPRING THAT COULD NOT BE EXPLAINED THAT THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ANTIBIOTICS, STEROIDS, AND A NEBULIZER MACHINE COULDN'T MAKE HER BETTER. NOW I KNOW WHAT CAUSED HER PROLONGED ILLNESS, DRIVING HER CAR EVERY DAY WITH MILDEW UNDER THE FLOOR MATS AND IN THE AIR. MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS EITHER ALLERGIES, ASTHMA OR BOTH. AFTER WE RETURNED FROM VACATION I GOOGLED FOR A ANSWER TO FIND WHERE THE CONDENSATION TUBE WAS LOCATED TO CLEAR IT AND POSSIBLY STOP IT FROM LEAKING INSIDE.MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE INTERNET SEARCH RESULTED WITH A BEVY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME PROBLEM ! I READ FORUMS, ARTICLES, AND COMPLAINTS WITH THE END RESULT THAT MITSUBISHI WAS CHARGING $1000.00 TO FIX. SINCE THEN THEY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH OUT TAKING THE WHOLE A/C UNIT OUT. THERE IS A TSB REPORT # 09-55-002 ON THE PROBLEM WITH THE FINDINGS THAT INSULATION USED IN THE HOUSING FALLS APART AND CLOGS THE DRAIN INSIDE THE HOUSING.THE DESIGN OF THE A/C CONDENSER INSIDE THE VEHICLE IS ASKING FOR LEAKS AND PROBLEMS. I CAN'T EXPOSE MY FAMILY TO MOLD AND MILDEW EVERY TIME THE A/C IS USED. THE WATER IN THE CARPET SMELLS VERY BAD AND WILL RUST THE FLOORBOARDS AND THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK! THIS MAKES THE PROBLEM TWO FOLD. THE RUST IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE MOLD IS A SEVERE HEALTH ISSUE FOR PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WITH RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS. I AM VERY UPSET AND WILL BE CONTACTING THE MITSUBISHI REGIONAL SERVICE REP. FOR THE WASHINGTON D.C. AREA. PLEASE RECALL! MANY MORE CAN'T OR WON'T COMPLAIN! THANK YOU..... |
