“The fuel filler pipe is leaking from behind the protection plate. I've contacted a local dealer and the Manufacturer and feel that I'm getting the run around as there is a previous recall for this same problem on the 2004 model, while mine is a 2010. I had it inspected prior to contacting Mitsubishi.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Nov 2022

“I bought that mitsubishi endeavor 2010 but within 9 years, the pipe filling from gas cap to the tank has a big hole and gas falling on the floor when I am filling at the gas station. When I check cars.com I saw a recall: 10v065000 but I check with the mitsubishi dealer I am told that there any recall for my car.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Oct 2018
“Srs warning light is on and mitsubishi told me they can't repair this since they stopped making the part affected. It needs a new sensor which controls the air bags and seat belt assembly. I was told if in an accident the air bags may not deploy or even accidentally deploy in a no accident scenario. The car is only eight years old and they stopped making the part? This definitely compromises safety!”Owner report · Seat Belts · Jul 2018
“Took my car into the dealership and was told they cannot fix my problem due to the fact mitsubishi stopped manufacturing the part needed. The car is only eight years old! Yes they discontinued this model but the parts? This is ridiculous, my air bag sensor is disabled and turned off which is a safety issue! I cannot fix it and I wonder if I can even sell it due to the fact it has no working air bags. How can they get away with this? I thought the NHTSA was a place where consumers of cars sold in this country could go to help remedy these kind of problems.”Owner report · Seat Belts · May 2018
