My vehicle is 2004 Endeavor, problem first noticed early Oct 2010. Driver side floorboard and rear passenger floorboard completely soaked with water. Water is coming underneath floor board from ac due to improper drainage. This is a major heath concern there needs to be recalled. After researching on the internet I found that this is a common problem with the Endeavor and part needed to repair problem is not expensive but labor is so expensive because of difficulty in getting to problem area. This is definitely a design problem and we as consumers should not have to be overcharged for the repair, which according to dealer cost around $1000. This is unrealistic. They present economy is bad enough without being ripped out my Mitsubishi. I needed my car to get to work because this is my only source of transportation. I have no choice but to deal this soggy floor, mold, mildew, bad smell and not to mention health concerns.

The condensation from the ac does not drain out of the vehicle properly. It is a "known" design flaw that does not provide a drain 'tube" but the water is supposed to drain out a hole and out through the frame behind the dashboard. The hole can become plugged. The water runs into the vehicle under the carpet an under the floor on the driver side. The carpet can have standing water making the foot wet and slippery on the pedal. Also the water has nowhere to go. The water will then evaporate and recondense on the windshield, obstructing views. I can never completely dry out the water and I am worried that mold is growing in the car. Also the waterlogged floor stinks horribly. I have a young child who complains everyday about the smell, but I worry more about the mold and the other safety issues I described above.

Serious safety issue that will result in slippery floor carpeting, brake, and acceleration pedals due to design flaw. Water from A/C unit entering driver side drivers floor area. Wetting floor panel and carpeting. Possibly a grommet it seems to be a common problem in many Endeavors.

I have a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor. A/C works some times in the city. Most of the time after driving on the open highway it blows warm air or not at all. The thermistor assy has been replaced as well as the resistor harness for thermistor assy. Did not correct he problem. Misubishi states (which is false) that the problem I am having was caused by the placement of a fin sensor by an independent garage. What is a fin sensor (never had this replaced) and do you have any suggestions. Thank you, bill
