Issue: MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 45,988 MY 2005-2007 ENDEAVOR, GALANT, ECLIPSE COUPE, AND MY 2007 ECLIPSE SPYDER VEHICLES. THE BRACKET THAT IS THE ATTACHMENT POINT FOR THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAP MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY FORMED DURING A METAL STAMPING PROCESS. THE PROCESS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE METAL TO HAVE A SPLIT IN THE AREA WHERE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK STRAPS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT THE FUEL TANK IS FULL AND THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SEVERE COLLISION, THE BRACKET MAY BREAK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO DROP DOWN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A FUEL LEAK.
Risk: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK STRAP MOUNTING BRACKET HAS SPLITTING BEYOND A SPECIFIC LIMIT. VEHICLES WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE SPLITTING WILL BE REPAIRED USING A REINFORCEMENT CAP, A SPECIAL STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE, AND A RIVET TO REINFORCE THE FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKET. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
Campaign 08V454000
Issue: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER SEAT BELT ANCHOR MAY SEPARATE DURING A SEVERE VEHICLE CRASH.
Risk: BREAKAGE OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET IN A SEVERE CRASH COULD ALLOW THE SEAT BELT TO NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE PASSENGER AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT AND BRACKET ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 17, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
Campaign 08V022000
Issue: MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2008 ENDEAVOR WITH MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING. DUE TO AN INCORRECT HEATER (HVAC) CONTROLLER SIGNAL, THE AIR FLOW FROM THE AIR VENTS MAY RANDOMLY CHANGE DIRECTION AND/OR THE TEMPERATURE MAY BRIEFLY CYCLE BETWEEN HOT AND COLD.
Risk: THIS CONDITION COULD AFFECT DEFROSTER PERFORMANCE, RESULTING IN POOR WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR DAMAGE AND IF NECESSARY REPAIR THE MODE DOOR SHAFT FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 7, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
Campaign 10V514000
Issue: MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2010 ENDEAVOR VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND WASHINGTON D.C.

ADJOINING STATES INCLUDE ARKANSAS, TENNESSEE, AND NORTH CAROLINA. IN SEVERE CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE ROAD SALTS ARE FREQUENTLY USED IN WINTER VEHICLES MAY BE EXPOSED TO ROAD DEBRIS (MUD) MIXED WITH ROAD SALT. THIS MATERIAL CAN BECOME TRAPPED BETWEEN A REINFORCING BRACKET AND THE FUEL FILLER PIPE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING CORROSION. OVER TIME, CORROSION COULD CREATE A LEAK IN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE THAT COULD RESULT IN A FUEL LEAKAGE WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE.
Risk: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER PIPE WITH A NEW IMPROVED PART FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JULY 5, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
Campaign 10V065000
Issue: MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 120,000 MY 2004-2006 ENDEAVOR PASSENGER VEHICLES. DURING VEHICLE USE, THE IGNITION KEY INTERLOCK CABLE (WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM) MAY ALLOW THE INTERLOCKING CAM TO FALL FORWARD AND ALLOW THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE GEARSHIFT MECHANISM IS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION.
Risk: IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT SHIFT TO PARK BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY AND FAILS TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.

WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD FRAME BROKE INTO RUSTED OUT THE FRAME SHOULD NOT RUST
WATER UNDER DRIVERS SIDE CARPET ONLY. FOUND AC / HEATER BOX HOUSING DRAIN FITMENT AGAINST BODY BULKHEAD LEAKING. AC DRAIN IS ON DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE ACCEL. PEDAL AREA.
ABLE TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION WHILE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARD OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHILE BY SON WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. HE WAS NOT INJURED BUT HIS VEHICLE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR TRAVELING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. *TR*JB
THE DEFROSTER SWITCH DOES NOT SWITCH THE AIR TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS IN THE WINTER. WHEN TURNED TO DEFROST IT BLOWS OUT OF THE OTHER AIR VENTS.
I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN MAY. I NOTICED THAT THE CARPET GETS SOAKED, ACTUALLY A PUDDLE OF WATER UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE FEET. THE FLOORBOARD AND CARPET GET SATURATED AND NEEDS TO BE VACUUMED AT LEAST ONE TIME A WEEK.THE WATER SOAKS MY SHOES AND IS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.THE DEALER BLEW OUT THE AC LINE AND VACUUMED THE WATER OUT, BUT SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH IT
ANY TIME I PUT GAS IN AUTO, IT TAKES ABOUT SIX ATTEMPTS TO START. WILL NOT START IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING.
HEATER AND DEFROST CONTROLS CHNANGE AIR FLOW DIRECTION AND OR TEMPERATURE CHANGES
DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD HAS TO BE VACUUMED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, HAD AC DRAIN HOSE CLEARED THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY 2015 WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FLOOR WAS SOAKED WHEN I PURCHASED AND BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME. NOW IT HAS BEN SOAKING AGAIN THE LAST MONTH
FOR OVER A YEAR NOW WATER HAS BEEN LEAKING ONTO MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR FROM THE A/C. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC DUE TO THERE NOT BEING A DEALERSHIP W/N OVER 100 MILE RADIUS OF ME AND IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I'VE CHECKED SEVERAL TSB AND ONLINE MITSUBISHI FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THE SAME THING. THERE DON'T APPEAR TO BE ANY RESOLVING SOLUTIONS TO THIS ISSUE EITHER SHORT OF RIPPING APART MY VEHICLE TO POSSIBLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND REINSTALL TUBING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED IN THE FIRST PLACE. DEVELOPING HEALTH COMPLICATIONS AND MOLD EXPOSURE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IS NOT SOMETHING I'M TRYING TO RISK. NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE...THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. ALL A SUDDEN WATER STARTED POOLING ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHEN EVER THE A/C WOULD RUN.
MY DOOR HANDLES ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE BACK SEAT PASSAGER ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLES JUST BROKE OFF. MY CAR IS KEPT IN A GARAGE AND WHEN I WENT TO THE DOOR TO OPEN BOTH DOORS THE HANDLES JUST BROKE OFF. JUST RECENTLY I SAW THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR AND BOTH HANDLES WERE BROKE ALSO. I ASKED THE DRIVER AND STATED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES JUST BROKE OFF.
THE DRIVERS SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE JUST SNAPPED OFF IN MY HAND. *TR
CAR STARTED TO SHOW SRS LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND STABILITY CONTROL ERROR. CARD BRAKES TEND TO LOCK UP AND CAUSES THE CAR TO SLIDE I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MALFUNCTION WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO NOT SURE IF THE AIRBAGS WILL GO OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING, OR NOT GO OFF AT ALL DURING AN ACCIDENT. *TR
