Replying to: cfoforfun (Jul 25, 2006 2:41 pm) Your experience with your 2005 Endeavor tells me three things:   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?

Replying to: jaws3 (Jun 10, 2006 12:57 pm) Sorry for the delay in replying. The power steering pump was covered under the warranty - had 33,000 miles BUT Mitsubishi wanted to recover the cost from the dealership because they say "too bad" that the noise occurs. The high pitched noise usually occurs when stopped and sounds like it is coming from the steering column.
#242 of 408 Towing with the Endeavor? by towmator Jul 31, 2006 (9:02 am)
I am looking for experiences with towing with an AWD endeavor. Do you use the manual shifter in 1st gear?
#243 of 408 Re: A/C went out on my 04 Endeavor LS [boricua83] by boricua83 Aug 02, 2006 (1:26 pm)
Replying to: boricua83 (Jul 10, 2006 1:24 pm) Okay well I had the truck fixed. First the A/C situation was some valve behind the motor that failed and an actuator on the compressor, the oil problem was due to the ignorant fools at the Mobile 1 in Orlando. They lost the washer that goes to the bolt and decided to put some gacky crap on it so I changed the oil put a new mitsu oil filter and washer on the bolt good to go. By the way it's awesome to make friends with Mitsubishi techs. My mechanic only charged me $400.00 for all of the A/C work, Tranny flush, replace rear brake light. All of that would have been over $1,500 at the dealer.
#244 of 408 Problem with recall by ucsb23 Aug 27, 2006 (5:14 pm)
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.

Replying to: herewego (Jun 12, 2006 5:42 pm) Hey, I'm interested in what the programming instructions are for your keyless remote, and if it worked for you. Appreciate the help, thanks.   Rodney Replies to this message: herewego (Nov 17, 2006 7:28 pm) duckman2405 (Dec 30, 2006 11:46 am)

Replying to: deadmanlives (Jul 15, 2006 4:06 pm) I am sorry to have to disagree with the statement "... M-ASTC. Yet, this appears to be what you get with 2005 traction control".   M-ASTC stands for "Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control", this is the name Mitsubishi gives to what is known in the industry as "Electronic Stability Control". Other makers give their own names to ESC such as "Stabilitrack", etc.   M-ASTC is an AVAILABLE option on the 2006 LIMITED version of the Endeavor... you can read this at http://www.mitsucars.com/MMSA/jsp/endeavor/features_specs.jsp   There is an Electronic Stability Control Coalition web site www.esc.com where they list which model and which years the ESC system is offered either as standard or optional feature. Unfortunately, today, their site is down. I think I recall from visiting that site before, that M-ASTC was not available on the 2005 Endeavor.   Having TCS (traction control system) on a 2006 Endeavor Limited (or any of the Endeavors) does not mean you have M-ASTC... I wish it did.   Traction Control (TCS) is great... I call it "the magic hand" as it makes the necessary correction to avoid the tires from skidding...   ESC is a much more comprehensive system which includes a gyroscope. It takes control of the car (making motor speed, brake and suspension adjustments) when excessive or abnormal maneuvers are detected, such as during an accident.   Typically TCS can be disconnected through a switch if you want to regain normal control of the car (such is the case on the 2005 Limited Endeavor). I have not read that you can disconnect ESC.
#247 of 408 Damaged Door Hinge Bolts by southwest3 Sep 23, 2006 (4:41 pm)
Door Hinge Attaching Bolts on New 2006 Endeavor (all four doors) clearly have had wrench used on them before vehicle delivered. Bolt heads are marred and all paint off. These are bolts that attach to Door; not to vehicle Body. Have never seen this in 40 years of buying new vehicles! Would very much appreciate any and all ideas as to what has happened and why? Thank You! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 23, 2006 5:13 pm)

Replying to: southwest3 (Sep 23, 2006 4:41 pm) Probably the door was adjusted because it wasn't closing properly during prep, I would guess. If it were a newly painted door, they would have done the install and adjusting first, then painted over the hinge.
#249 of 408 Trip computer by damon34 Sep 24, 2006 (11:57 am)
Does all trims of the Endeavor come with the trip computer where it tells your fuel consumption MPG and so on. I was curious. Thinking about buying one but all I have test drove was the LS and I didnt even check out the radio. Thank you. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 25, 2006 9:44 am)
