2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor problems
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.

Is a Mitsubishi Endeavor a good vehicle?
It's quiet, has a fairly comfortable ride and secure handling, but cornering isn't particularly agile. The refined 3.8-liter V6 provides strong acceleration. Like most car-based SUVs, the Endeavor didn't come with low-range gearing, but the AWD is appropriate for snow and sand.
How long do Mitsubishi Endeavors last?
A used car in 2010, the Endeavor already had 200,000 miles on it – way past the powertrain limited warranty. Still, according to Grubb, she only needed to replace the thermostat, tires, and brakes since then. She's also racked up an additional 100,000 miles driving across Missouri to visit her family.
Why was the Mitsubishi Endeavor discontinued?
The Mitsubishi Endeavor was produced in the US between 2003 and 2011 until it was discontinued due to poor sales.
What are the trim levels for the 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor?

- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: 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 TIME BEFORE I'D BE BACK HAVING TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. I VERIFIED THIS WITH TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER ENDEAVOR OWNERS VIA MULTIPLE FORUMS AND REPAIR BLOGS....

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

- VIN: 4A4MN21S96E
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: 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 LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO PROVE THERE WAS A DEFECT - EVEN THOUGH I HAD PHOTOS - UPON TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL DEALSHIP - I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME SINCE I DIDN'T PURCHASE MY VEHICLE WITH THEM. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME IT'S POSSIBLE MY VEHICLE WAS WRECKED - I RAN A CARFAXS REPORT PROVING OTHERWISE. I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM MITSUBISHI CORPORATE AND AM LOOKING INTO CONSULTING AN ATTORNEY. ALL I WANT IS MY VEHICLE FIXED - ALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO DO IS CHECK THE IGNITION INTERLOCK CABLE AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY AND THEY WON'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT. INSTEAD THEY WANT TO TAKE MY CAR APART TO SEE IF IT WAS PREVIOUSLY WRECKED BEFORE THEY WILL CONSIDER FIXING ANYTHING- AGAIN MY VEHICLE WASN'T WRECKED. SO NOW WHEN I PARK I MAKE SURE MY E BRAKE IS ON AND I CHECK TO SEE IF I CAN REMOVE MY KEY AND 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES I CAN WHILE MY CAR IS STILL IN DRIVE. SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN OFFER ANY INFORMATION TO HELP ME PROCEED I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2006-11-28
- VIN: 4A4MM21S66E
- Components: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
- Summary: 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 GOING TO RECOVER THEIR FUNDS FROM THEM. IT WAS VERY DISHEARTENING TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, YET MISTUBISHI REFUSED TO HONOR A WARRANTY ON A CAR THAT I HAD ONLY HAD FOR 7 MONTHS AND THAT ONLY HAD 28000 MILES ON IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL BE TRADING IT IN AS SOON AS I GET IT BACK AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MITSUBISHI VEHICLE.*JB

Are you having problems with your 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor?
Macey Cummerata 2024-11-12
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.
Melvin Swift 2024-10-24
I just wanted to say that I love my new car! It makes me feel like a teenager again. I really appreciate the spacious interior and the great view of the road. The engine has a lot of pep and the blue dash lights give it a unique look. Now, all my friends want to ride in my car when we go places.
Floyd McClure 2024-10-23
With a new baby on the way, we needed to sell our Eclipse and get something with 4-doors. The Endeavor was perfect for us. It rides and drives like a sedan, but with the space and comfort of an SUV. I was pleasantly surprised that it did not feel top-heavy like many AWD and 4WD vehicles do. Additionally, it gets better gas mileage than what was stated on the sticker. It's the perfect choice for someone who needs or wants more space than a sedan but doesn't like the maneuverability of large SUVs.
Royce Littel 2024-10-13
This car is not only comfortable but also has a powerful engine. It is also very reliable and has lots of space.
Garett Purdy 2024-09-17
I am so glad to hear that you are a loyal Mitsubishi owner! It's wonderful to hear that you are enjoying your second Mitsubishi SUV, the Endeavor. It sounds like it's been a great upgrade from your previous Montero Sport LIMITED, especially when it comes to driving over rough terrain. I'm thrilled to hear that you're impressed with its acceleration and pickup, and that you're having fun with the Sport Mode feature. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us!
