| I purchased a 2005 Endeavor LS used in November. I love it, but haven't found a good dealer in MN to go to for warranty repairs. Knobs, it sounds like you enjoy your MN dealer. Which one do you go to? | |
| Bought my 2004 XLS January 2005 and it has been a pleasure to drive and trouble-free. I have noticed as of late that it seems to be hunting for its correct gear between 20 and 35 MPH. Hard to explain but I'll try. When I let up off the gas it sometimes makes a clunk as it downshifts and other times it seems to float as though it can't decide whether to downshift or not. Does that make sense? Only have 16,500 miles on it. Any ideas or suggestions before I call the dealer? Thanks. Nick. | |
| I have a 2004 Mits endeavor that in all honesty has been awesome up until now. Besides the breaks being a little obnoxious and the aggravating noise that occurs when one window is down it has been a nice car. The other day I was driving and my car made a funny noise and just stopped while going 30 miles an hour. I lost steering control- everything. Fortunately, I stopped in front of an auto repair shop where the gentleman was kind enough to come outside to take a look. He instantly knew it was the timing belt that had stopped the car. I had it towed to my local dealer, Sunset Mitsubishi-Sarasota. my car has 55 thousand miles on it and is covered under the power train 60,000 mile warranty. I get a call that somehow my drive belts shredded and got into my timing belt causing this all to occur so it will not be covered under power train. I will have to pay for a whole new engine. I have talked to 3 other mechanics with over 20+ years experience and they fail to see how this could have happened since the timing belt is non accessible. Please tell me if anyone else has had this problem because I can tell I am going to have to fight this issue. Thank you!!!!! | |

Occasionally I notice that when I remove my keys from the ignition switch, my car rolls. When I look at the transmission shifter indicator, I see that the shifter is not in park, yet I have removed the keys. In order to move the shifter to park, I reinsert the keys, turn to on and then move the shifter to park. This can be very unnerving. Hss anybody else had this experience? I will have the dealer look at it the next time I am in for service.

I am looking for a midsize SUV and found this Mitsu Endeavor XLS (4WD) with power everything, the owner only asking for $11,500.00. I orginally wants to buy a Toyota Highlander but its price is too high. I went to Emunds to read Mitsu Endeavor's reviews and found the model review says for the 2004 endeavor XLS there is a 2004.5 update model. Emunds says: " This midyear upgrade included standard front side airbags and a leather steering wheel for the Endeavor XLS. New options included stability control for the all-wheel-drive Limited. Shoppers interested in a used '04 Endeavor should only consider the updated version." I am litte confused with what Emunds said. Since i know the one i want to buy is a not upgrade model, should i not buy it since emunds says shoppers should only consider the updated version for 04 XLS? anyone can help me i will appreciate your help.

Replying to: burgerflppr (May 04, 2004 2:02 am) I bought the car but forgot my checkbook. Signed all the papers and said I would come back the next day with my check. (No consideration so not a valid contract) Went home and told my wife that Mitsubshi 'recommended' Premium Fuel. Did my calculation and found that 100000 miles Divided by 20 MPH equals 5000 gallons. At .30 Cents a gallon more this means we would have to pay $!500 more for gas. Divided by 5 (years) you get $300 per year. I told my wife and she blew a fuse. So I went to the Conroe Mitsubishi dealer and asked what kind of gas I should use. He said regular. I asked why Mitsubishi 'recommended' premium. He said he guessed it might get a mile or two more. He said he had run his car on regular for years. He said he would get the service manager for me. When I talked to Mike (I had in mind to ask for a reduction in price of $1500. He said he had used Mits for years and had been the manager for 12 years. He said all his customers used regular. I asked why the 'recommendation' of premium. He said they have silver spark plugs (I suppose the ends) and it burns off the residue (?) I said I would have to have a letter on company stationary stating it was ok to use regular. He gave it to me. "We acknowledge MItsubishi recommends Premium furl in this vehicle. However Conroe Mitsubishi states Premium fuel is not required and the use of regular fuel will not harm the engine nor void the Warranty.' I wrote my check. The people have a silver stand that states they are the No.1 Service Dealer in the USA. As as added inducement they give a receipt that entitles the buyer to free oil changes including the oil changes and and the 7 first service requirements free. EVerything is furnished. I only have to buy the gas for the first 45000 miles. AFter that I fall back on the 5/60000 bumper to bumper and the 100000 drive train. That does not sound like a 2 to me. Time will tell, but I am impressed. I will keep you advised for the 45000 miles if I live that long.''''CharlieBuilder |

Kim..I bought a 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited Silver with black seats SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl) today. I don't believe you have to use Premium. see my note of 8/20/07 above. I asked the service manager about your problem with the A/C and he said the stoppage is probable pine needles, leaves, etc which fall on the windshield and hood and work down to the coil and eventually stop up the condensate drain tube. He said he removes the stoppage by vacuum and is finished in ten minutes. Nothine hard to remove. The coil is under the dash and if he had to remove the dash he would not charge anything. He said he thought it should be under warranty. Your car probably was made in Illinois by the only UAW contracted Foreign owned car manufacturer in the USA. Can't address the paint problem.....Charliebuilder |

Anyone have any issues with their transmission not shifting smoothly? Or rear differential or U-joint issues?
