Mitsubishi Endeavor problems

mitsubishi logo

The Mitsubishi Endeavor is a mid-size crossover SUV built by Mitsubishi Motors at their manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois from 2003 until 2011. Based on the PS platform, it was the first vehicle built under Mitsubishi's "Project America", a program aimed at introducing vehicles for North America without having to compromise for, or accommodate, global markets.

Design

Its design origins can be traced back to the Mitsubishi SSU which debuted at the 1999 North American International Auto Show, although the Endeavor does not share the concept's mechanical underpinnings. The prototype was powered by a 305 hp (227 kW) version of the 6A13TT 2.5-liter twin-turbo V6, which directed the power to a full-time all-wheel drive system through its INVECS-II five-speed automatic transmission and AYC. When the Endeavor debuted in March 2003, it used the 6G75 3.8-liter V6 offering 215 hp (160 kW) and 250 lb⋅ft (339 N⋅m), mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with an optional all-wheel-drive system that splits the torque 50/50 by default.

Despite some reasonably favorable reviews on its release, the Endeavor's performance in the marketplace failed to meet Mitsubishi's expectations. On its release in March 2003 the company aimed for 80,000 annual sales but had achieved only 32,054 by the end of its debut year, and sales fell every year thereafter.

Common Mitsubishi Endeavor problems

The Mitsubishi Endeavor has faced several common problems, particularly with its air conditioning and heating systems. The worst model year for the Endeavor is 2004, which has the highest number of overall complaints.

Another issue reported with the 2004 Endeavor is a problem with the heater core, which can cause the vehicle to overheat. This issue can be expensive to fix, with an average cost of $1,600 and an average mileage of 60,000 miles when it occurs.

These problems with the air conditioning and heating systems in the Mitsubishi Endeavor can be frustrating for owners, particularly in extreme weather conditions. It is important to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to the vehicle and to ensure the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers.

In addition to the specific problems with the Endeavor, there are broader issues with Mitsubishi as a brand. The company has faced criticism for a lack of innovation, a monotone lineup, and a lack of awareness in some markets.

It is important for consumers to research the reliability and reputation of a car brand before making a purchase. Consumer Reports provides reliability data based on subscriber surveys, which can help consumers make informed decisions about the quality and durability of a vehicle. By considering both the specific problems with a particular model, such as the Mitsubishi Endeavor, and the broader issues with the brand, consumers can make a wise and informed decision about their next car purchase.

Latest negative Mitsubishi Endeavor car reviews

  1. Jettie Koch 2024-10-25

    Vehicle year: 2008

    I really like the exterior of the vehicle. The seats are comfortable, especially the heated leather seats in the winter. It's fun to drive and outperforms the Pilot. I appreciate the folding seats, which are much more convenient than the Escape where you have to remove the headrest. The car fits two large dogs comfortably in the back, which is the main attraction for me as my dogs go everywhere with me. I also love satellite radio. However, I do wish that the wiper blades were quicker to respond to increase speed changes, especially since I live in the rainy Northwest. It would be great to have auto-adjusting wipers. I bought the iPod adapter, but unfortunately, I hate it! It takes control from your iPod and is impossible to find your music once it's hooked up. I would much rather have an MP3 input jack.

  2. Emmet Schinner 2024-10-15

    Vehicle year: 2008

    My husband traded my Honda Accord for an Endeavor, but unfortunately, there have been some issues. The dealership told me that they could transfer my Sirius Radio into the new car, but it turns out that all I can hear is static. They explained that there isn't a part available to prevent interference with the radio. I was pretty frustrated about this. Additionally, I noticed that the radio volume kept changing, which was quite annoying. On top of that, the cup holder is not very secure, and I can't even keep a bottle of water in it without it flying all over the place. Overall, I find the car uncomfortable to drive and it's just not to my liking. I apologize to any Endeavor enthusiasts out there.

  3. Braulio Reilly 2024-09-28

    Vehicle year: 2004

    I purchased my Endeavor in March and overall, I have had a good experience with it. However, I have noticed that the gas mileage is not as good as I had hoped. While I do get 20mpg on the highway, I only average about 14 mpg in town, which is lower than the 17 mpg it was rated for. Additionally, I have noticed that the valves tend to 'clack' when using mid-grade gas, although this does not seem to affect performance. I have found that using high grade gas helps to alleviate this issue. It is worth noting that there are mixed comments on this topic, which makes me wonder if there are different batches of SUVs. Lastly, as someone who is 5'4

  4. Noble Paucek 2024-08-05

    Vehicle year: 2010

    1- The car requires premium gas to run smoothly and efficiently. 2- The engine has great power, but it is optimized with premium fuel. 3- Premium fuel can be costly. 4- The interior has some plastic fittings that may not be to everyone's taste. 5- The car has a spacious interior and comfortable seats. 6- The exterior styling may take some getting used to. Before purchasing an Endeavor, it is important to consider the cost of premium fuel. While some people enjoy this SUV, it may not be the most affordable option for everyone.

  5. Erik Kling 2024-08-04

    Vehicle year: 2011

    I bought a 2010 Mitsubishi Endeavour about 6 months ago. Unfortunately, about a month ago, I started hearing a loud wheezing noise coming from the engine. The noise only starts at speeds of 60mph and above, and after the car has been running for about 10 minutes. I took it to Mitsubishi and the regional manager determined it to be normal engine noise. I was surprised because the noise wasn't there for the first three months, and then all of a sudden started. Although I'm disappointed with the service I received regarding this problem, I hope to find a solution soon.

Latest positive Mitsubishi Endeavor car reviews

  1. Arnulfo Braun 2024-11-22

    Vehicle year: 2005

    I've had the Endeavor for two months now and I absolutely love it! It's so well-built and comfortable to drive, and I feel incredibly secure driving my toddler around town. Safety was my top priority when selecting a new car, and this one definitely delivers. It handles curves and turns with ease, and there's plenty of room in the back even with the car seat. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

  2. Josue Satterfield 2024-11-17

    Vehicle year: 2004

    I purchased this vehicle new from the dealership. In everyday driving, I average 19 MPG. The only expenses I have had are for normal wear and tear items. Although I had a problem with the clear coat, the dealership took care of it at no cost to me. With 124,000 miles on this SUV, it still looks and drives like new. The engine and transmission are very responsive, and it has a great highway ride. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone interested.

  3. Otho Orn 2024-11-17

    Vehicle year: 2004

    I bought the Limited AWD. I absolutely love the general appearance, especially the blue lights on the dash at night. The stereo system is fantastic and the seats are extremely comfortable both in the front and back. The car drives smoothly and has good interior room, A/C, gas mileage, and an A/T gear shifter. Although there are several options that are not available such as memory seats, garage door remote, third seat option, auto headlights, GPS, and side curtains, I still think it's a good vehicle for the price. The dash and door materials look a bit cheap, but I still like the overall style of the dash. It could use a bit more power under the hood, but it's adequate for city driving and only struggles a bit up those hills. With a few more options, this vehicle could be one heck of a situation!

  4. Macey Cummerata 2024-11-12

    Vehicle year: 2006

    The Endeavor is a great vehicle that can handle both city and highway driving with ease. Its V6 engine is powerful enough to pull the Sierras without any issues. It is a reliable and sturdy vehicle that has had very few reported call backs. With the seats folding flat, it is versatile and can accommodate all my needs and more. In fact, my wife is so impressed that she wants one for herself. The Endeavor offers unbeatable price and performance that is hard to match by any other car or SUV.

  5. Olen Corwin 2024-11-09

    Vehicle year: 2008

    About 1000 miles now, and I must say, this is a really great overall product! It's so responsive and fun to drive, not to mention peppy. The ergonomics are really nice too, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the fuel efficiency, which has consistently been over 22mpg. I drove everything on the market, from the 4runner to the LR2, and I truly believe that this is the best overall package for the best price.
