Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 04, 2006 8:30 am) Let me bother you with one more question. I've spoken with a dealer (not a Mitsubishi dealer)who has a 2005 Endeavor Limited with less than 1000 miles. Since he is some distance from me, I haven't seen the vehicle. He says it has traction control, but he can't find anywhere in the 2005 manual about the Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control (M-ASTC). So, my question is this: is the traction control on a 2005 Endeavor Limited the same as the Traction Control Package which includes: Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control (M-ASTC) that is available on the 2006 Limiteds? I think that the 2006 M-ASTC system looks like traction control plus an electronic stability control system, which Consumer Reports highly recommends. So, I guess I'm actually asking two questions: 1) Are the 2005 and 2006 systems the same? and 2) Is the M-ASTC truly a traction control and electronic stability system? Thanks for your input on these two questions. Jerry

Replying to: deadmanlives (Jul 13, 2006 6:13 pm) The 2005 Limiteds have the same traction control and anti-skid system as the 2006's. Interestinly, the 2005 owner's manual apparently doesn't say anything about Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control (M-ASTC). Yet, this appears to be what you get with 2005 traction control. If anyone has seen anything that says that the M-ASTC was an optional add-on to the 2005 traction control system, I'd love to hear about it. Also, has anyone had experience with this system on their 2005/2006 Endeavor Limiteds? A safe and relaxing weekend to all!

Replying to: deadmanlives (Jul 15, 2006 4:06 pm) With an impending snow storm predicted on our local mountain, Mt. Hood in Oregon, in November, 2005 I purchased a set of snow tires and had metal studs put on them. I also bought another set of wheels and had the studded tires mounted on the stock wheels and had the stock tires put on the new chrome wheels. This allowed me to fairly easily switch back and forth as I made my purchase at Les Schwab Tires which will make the switch at no cost. The 11/05 snow was about 14" deep at our cabin on the mountain. I had absolutely no trouble with traction and now have as much or at least nearly as much confidence with my Endeavor as I had with my Jeep.

Replying to: cfoforfun (Jul 25, 2006 2:41 pm) 1) That 2005 Endeavors do indeed have the option of a Traction Control Package, which includes the Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control (M-ASTC) system. 2) That this traction control system worked well for you. 3) That you know what you're doing when it comes to adapting to snowy conditions. Thanks so much for your thoughts. Anyone else out there have any thoughts on the Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control (M-ASTC) system functioning well or poorly in snowy, icy conditions? |

I am looking for experiences with towing with an AWD endeavor. Do you use the manual shifter in 1st gear?

I have owned a 2005 Endeavor LS for the last year and it had never had a problem. I got a notice about the front brake caliber recall. I took my car to to the dealership and my left front brake caliber had to be replaced. The part had to be ordered which took a week to come in. It is annoying that the dealership did not have the part in stock especially since there was a recall. I took my Endeavor in and the caliber was replaced free of charge. The next day I started to feel something hitting the floor board under my feet when I would turn left, go over spped bumps or comming up to a stop. I also hear a rattle on the right side of the vehicle where the passenger seat belt is. There is also a rattle comming from under the hood when I accelerate to pass a vehicle or when getting on the freeway. Again, I had no problems before I had the recalled brake caliber replaced. I took my car back to the dealership and explained the issues. They kept it all day and then told me that it was fine and nothing was wrong. They said they could not feel anything hitting the floor board when they turned left or went over speed bumps. I was told that the rattle from under the hood was normal due to the fact that I only use premium once a month. I was told to run premium more often and there would not be a rattle. Has anyone had a problem like this or know what the problm might be when turning left or going over speed bumps? Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks. |
