FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 45,988 MY 2005-2007 ENDEAVOR, GALANT, ECLIPSE COUPE, AND MY 2007 ECLIPSE SPYDER VEHICLES. THE BRACKET THAT IS THE ATTACHMENT POINT FOR THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAP MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY FORMED DURING A METAL STAMPING PROCESS. THE PROCESS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE METAL TO HAVE A SPLIT IN THE AREA WHERE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK STRAPS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT THE FUEL TANK IS FULL AND THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SEVERE COLLISION, THE BRACKET MAY BREAK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO DROP DOWN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A FUEL LEAK.

THIS MATERIAL CAN BECOME TRAPPED BETWEEN A REINFORCING BRACKET AND THE FUEL FILLER PIPE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING CORROSION. OVER TIME, CORROSION COULD CREATE A LEAK IN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE THAT COULD RESULT IN A FUEL LEAKAGE WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE DEFROSTER SWITCH DOES NOT SWITCH THE AIR TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS IN THE WINTER. WHEN TURNED TO DEFROST IT BLOWS OUT OF THE OTHER AIR VENTS.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN MAY. I NOTICED THAT THE CARPET GETS SOAKED, ACTUALLY A PUDDLE OF WATER UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE FEET. THE FLOORBOARD AND CARPET GET SATURATED AND NEEDS TO BE VACUUMED AT LEAST ONE TIME A WEEK.THE WATER SOAKS MY SHOES AND IS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.THE DEALER BLEW OUT THE AC LINE AND VACUUMED THE WATER OUT, BUT SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH IT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

ANY TIME I PUT GAS IN AUTO, IT TAKES ABOUT SIX ATTEMPTS TO START. WILL NOT START IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD HAS TO BE VACUUMED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, HAD AC DRAIN HOSE CLEARED THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY 2015 WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FLOOR WAS SOAKED WHEN I PURCHASED AND BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME. NOW IT HAS BEN SOAKING AGAIN THE LAST MONTH

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

FOR OVER A YEAR NOW WATER HAS BEEN LEAKING ONTO MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR FROM THE A/C. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC DUE TO THERE NOT BEING A DEALERSHIP W/N OVER 100 MILE RADIUS OF ME AND IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I'VE CHECKED SEVERAL TSB AND ONLINE MITSUBISHI FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THE SAME THING. THERE DON'T APPEAR TO BE ANY RESOLVING SOLUTIONS TO THIS ISSUE EITHER SHORT OF RIPPING APART MY VEHICLE TO POSSIBLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND REINSTALL TUBING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED IN THE FIRST PLACE. DEVELOPING HEALTH COMPLICATIONS AND MOLD EXPOSURE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IS NOT SOMETHING I'M TRYING TO RISK. NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE...THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. ALL A SUDDEN WATER STARTED POOLING ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHEN EVER THE A/C WOULD RUN.

STRUCTURE

MY DOOR HANDLES ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE BACK SEAT PASSAGER ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLES JUST BROKE OFF. MY CAR IS KEPT IN A GARAGE AND WHEN I WENT TO THE DOOR TO OPEN BOTH DOORS THE HANDLES JUST BROKE OFF. JUST RECENTLY I SAW THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR AND BOTH HANDLES WERE BROKE ALSO. I ASKED THE DRIVER AND STATED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES JUST BROKE OFF.
