Replying to: cfrench (Mar 05, 2008 10:37 am) I'm not sure if this is a new thread, but you said you removed the glove box, so I'll ask you first. I'm trying to get the glove box out to replace the cabin filter. I removed the four screws in the diagram of the glove box, but the picture shows 'hook crochets' (three on rt, two on left) which are what must be holding the plastic in place, because I can't budge it. How did you remove the glove box?

| I have a 2004 Endeavor and am trying to replace the cabin air filter. The schematic I got shows dropping the glove box door to remove the four screws, which I've been able to do. But that's where I'm stuck. The diagram also shows 'hook crochets' which must be what's holding the plastice in place (2 on left, 3 on rt), but I can't figure out how to release them. I don't want to damage anything. Anyone done this and can tell me how to proceed? | |

Replying to: cfrench (Mar 25, 2008 6:02 am) Thank you so much. Last night my husband and I were trying to do it, but got to that step and were at a loss for what to do. So, he put it back together and said he was just going to take it in and try to return the filter. (I think he said he paid $30. What do you mean "in this forum you can get...." We could order parts here? But there'd be shipping, right? So, $30 is probably okay. Or, I could get it here and return the other, if there's no shipping and save another $7.) Last night, I said I'd see what I could find on the internet. I found and signed up for this forum (my first), but wasn't very hopeful after hours of working at it. Then I got your answer!!! I tried what you said and got it apart. There hadn't been a filter in it, so I had to cut out the cut out....a bit scary, chopping into the car, but I wanted to surprise him. All I could hear in the back of my head as I was doing it (thinking that I might be doing something wrong) was, "I told you we should've taken it in!" But, it's in now and back together, thanks to you. And I'm feeling very courageous and accomplished (It takes so little, LOL). Let me know about the ordering parts "in the forum", so we can get the next one through here, when it's needed. Of course, if I have a question in the future, it will be much easier as I am now a member of this great group! And THANKS again! Carly

| About 3 months ago I started getting a slight vibration in the front end while accelerating. It would go away after about 5 miles or so....Recently it has been more violent and lasting for 20-30 miles or more...Im pretty efficient in repairs but I'm unsure what the cause is...The tranny fluid is full and clean, This started to occur after i bought a new set of tires but If it was the tires I would think it would be more consistent and would not stop after a few miles...If anyone knows what the problem is I would appreciate the advise, thanks | |

I just purchased an '05 LS and absolutely love it. I really wanted an XLS or limited model because I am not a fan of the unpainted plastic mirrors and bumper pieces. However, my first priority was leather and the LS had it along with my favorite color combination on top of a price I just could not turn down. No mechanical problems at all with 49k miles on it. However... one thing irks me and I have not seen any other posts about this. The black paint between the windows/doors is horribly oxidated and flaking off and the plasic pieces on the bumpers and the mirrors look terrible as well. Does anyone else have this issue with the oxidating and flaking paint?? Would this be considered normal wear an tear or is there any chance to have this fixed under warranty? Does anyone know of a way to "care" for this area to prevent this from getting any worse? Any help would be greatly appreciated. One other thing I have seen on this forum is the flaking paint on the silver painted air vents in the center console. Again, should the bumper-to-bumper warranty cover this? Thanks in advance! |

RE: PAINT PROBLEMS I have a Black 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor LS with 100K miles on it. I have had the clear coat fall of on the small sections between the windows, giving the paint a dull oxidized look. I bought the vehicle used with 55k on it and the clear coat was already pealed off. Since it was used, I figured I couldn't get Mitsubishi to do anything about it, so I just make sure to keep some wax on it (probably doesn't help). If you bought the car new, I would expect Mitsubishi to fix it. I also have huge problems with my paint chipping on the front of the hood. If you haven't already done it, I suggest getting something to protect the front of your hood. RE: Mitsu Endeavor 2004 Vibration Not sure if this is it, but I started feeling vibrations in the front end of my 2004 Endeavor, it seemed much worse at low speeds. It turns out that some steel belts broke in one of my stock Goodyear Integrities and that tire had developed a bulge, causing the vibrations. The tires had 75K on them so it was about time to get new ones anyway. In the 45K miles that I have put on my 2004 Endeavor (over 100K total now!) I haven't had any serious problems. The only money I have put into it are for standard maintenance, ie oil changes, brake changes, new tires, and a new battery. The car has some quirks but overall it is great. The only complaint I have is the paint chipping and the clear coat pealing I mentioned above. |

Hello to All, I test drove a used 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor yesterday and I loved it, however after reading everyone's comments I'm thinking this is not the best choice. I have read about gas mileage, the best tires, various problems, and the article that says Mitsubishi will go under. Nevertheless, I'm still interested. What should I do? |
