I am the first owner of a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor. It is black in color. The paint is fading terribly and turning white. This is happening all over the hood and roof of the vehicle. I have discovered on the internet that this is a recurring and common complaint about these black colored Mitsubishi vehicles. It has something to do with the clear-coat and the paint being defective. Structure · reported at 60,000 miles
My 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor has some sort of leak right behind the dashboard similar to the one on complaint #10204166. My fan blower motor was replaced due to water damage and more water keeps coming down from behind the dash. Mitsubishi in the bronx wants to charge me a large amount for a repair that is a manufacturer defect. Can someone help me with this issue. Structure · reported at 70,000 miles
