About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
This problem is not related to the age of vehicle, nor is it owner-created. It is a manufacturer design flaw. Driver-side front floor stays soaking wet. Shoes get wet and slippery which is dangerous while pressing on gas and brake pedals (driving hazard). Mold continues to grow even after cleaned (health hazard). Told that the problem is a failed grommet from the evaporator core drain. No recall has been issued ($700 repair estimate to replace grommet). Due to health and safety hazards, a recall should be issued for this manufacturer flaw/faulty material!

I was going to open a door for my child when the rear passenger door handle just snapped off. Extremely scary. What if it was an emergency situation.

Paint delaminates from vehicle surface. Exterior paint starts to degrade then delaminates from the vehicle's surface until eventually the entire vehicle is exposed to the metal. This occurred in less than 2 years and continued throughout my ownership of the vehicle, which was a lease that I was charged for the damage. This is clearly problem. After a short internet search, thousands of exact complaints can be found.

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.

I am the first owner of a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor. It is black in color. The paint is fading terribly and turning white. This is happening all over the hood and roof of the vehicle. I have discovered on the internet that this is a recurring and common complaint about these black colored Mitsubishi vehicles. It has something to do with the clear-coat and the paint being defective.

The paint on my Mitsubishi Endeavor 04, has all this oxidation going on on the roof and the window panels. I investigated this after taking my car back to dennis Mitsubishi and having them tell me they will paint the spots that are bad but not my whole car. I found out that there are thousands of people with Mitsubishi's that are having the exact same problem and the corporate office is just ignoring the problem that they know is the car makers error. They used bad paint coating on all the vehicles and they will not come out and admit that they are wrong. It is so awful to treat their customers this way and I can not believe they are allowed to just get away with it. Something should be done, they should have to recall these cars. I am not the only one sitting around shaking my head at this. If anyone types in Mitsubishi paint in there search engine you will see the number of incidents on many different web sites. This is just so wrong.
