I WAS USING AN EXIT TO MERGE INTO THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I MERGED, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE WORKING BUT NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. A SEMI ALMOST TOTALED ME BUT THANK GOD IT MERGED THANKS TO ANOTHER DRIVER. THE ROLLED BARELY MAKING IT TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT. I WANT TO MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR: I DO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONDUCTED AT PROFESSIONAL SHOPS FOR ALL OIL CHANGES AND OR OTHER ISSUES RELIGIOUSLY AND THE MILES ON VEHICLE AREN'T HIGH. IN OTHER WORDS, I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS WITH NO WORKING VEHICLE TO ADD. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A BUSY HIGHWAY. NO ACCELERATION, REVERSES OR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN PARK.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXTENSIVE MOLD DEVELOPED DUE TO A LEAK IN THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN PLUG, WATER LEAKED ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CARPET IN THE VEHICLE WAS SOAKED. WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT'S FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL DUE TO THE BOTTOM OF HER SHOE BEING WET FROM THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE WATER LEAKED FROM THE DRAIN PLUG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.
MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2006-2008 MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME CAR. THAT IS, THE HEATER CONTROLLER SIGNAL TO THE HVAC SYSTEM CODES AS U111, AND CONSEQUENTLY THE A/C WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL, BUT INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS IT TO BE ON. THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT RECEIVING THE SIGNAL FROM THE CONTROLLER. THE DEALER SAYS THIS RECALL (NUMBER 10V514000) DOES NOT COVER 2005 CARS.
AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AND AS I SPED UP THE VEHICLE KEPT FISH TAILING IT FELT LIKE IT WAS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE . SO I WENT STRAIGHT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SHOWED ME THE RUST OF THE REAR SUBFRAME OF THE CAR AND IT WAS DETACHED AND BROKEN. HE SUGGESTED I NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I AMY LOSE CO TROL OF THE VEHICLE.
