The ac gets cold on the driver side but the passenger side only the heat works. You can change the temperature but nothing happens it will remain the same. I took my car to the dealer and was told that there is no recall concern ing this issue but from what I have gathered from other customers who own this type of dr they are having the exact same issue. The dealer can't figure out what is the problem and I paid $1,600 for an unfixed ac unit.

I have a 2006 Mitsubishi endeavor. Two months ago the car turned off while I was driving down the street. There were no warning lights to indicate there was a problem. Upon inspection it was discovered that my timing belt had broken. Mitsubishi refused to honor the warranty because they said that the belt broke due to the oil shield being moved during an oil change. The oil shield is next to the timing belt and it rubbed against it causing the belt to break. I have made complaints with the california dept of consumer affairs and with the Mitsubishi organization. The situation is still under investigation, but I have a wonderful auto insurance service (automobile club of southern calif aaa) and they are repairing my car and investigating to determine who is really at fault and they are goin

A.c. Is draining into the interior of the vehicle causing the carpet and flooring on the driver side under to the driver seat to become soaked through and will not drain out. On several occasions, footwear have slipped on the break and gas pedals due to moisture accumulated on the bottom of the shoe. The shoe is not able to dry and properly grip the gas and brake pedals due to the accumulated moisture soaked through the carpeting under foot. Have contacted local Mitsubishi dealership: the a.c. Issue is a known issue and they will not cover the cost of repair even though it is causing safety issues with vehicle stopping and accelerating. Contacted Mitsubishi corporate and received the same communication that was relayed by the local dealership.

I own a 2006 Mitsubishi endeavor which was purchased 2 months ago. On june 1st I was running an errand, got out of my vehicle ran into the mall only to come out 5 minutes later to find my car had rolled into the back of a 1994 corvette. When approached by the corvette owner he proceeded to tell me I left my car in drive. I responded by saying, no, I have my keys in my hand, that's not possible. When I looked at the gearshift it was in drive. I know that this is partically my fault, however, I should have never been able to take my key out of the iginition without in being in park. I did some research and found that the 2007 eclipse was recalled for this same problem. When I approached Mitsubishi in calif about this I was told that's what I have insurance for and to take it to the lo

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi endeavor. Immediately after parking, the vehicle rolled back very quickly. The contact attempted to get back in the vehicle; however, it was traveling too fast.

Originally the liftgate would not open only the glass top would open. A common issue according to several Mitsubishi endeavor owner forums for endeavors from 2004 to 2008. Recently both liftgate and glass would not open at all unless I used the manual release located on the inside part of the liftgate. However, while driving recently the liftgate and or glass top actuated itself causing the liftgate to unlock on its own and open. If it were not for the dinging of the dash informing me one of my doors was open I would have never noticed. This could have caused the contents of my trunk to spill out on the road and only god knows what could've happened. My mechanic recommended I change both latches to be safe ($100 each) however this is a reoccurring problem so it would only be a matter of
