Mitsubishi Endeavor Visibility Safety Report | Aug 15, 2011
Reported on Aug 15, 2011
| IN OCTOBER 2010, I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE (I WAS WORRIED I HAD HIT SOMETHING). I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS DOWN AND I DID NOT PUT IT DOWN. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK UP, IT DIDN'T MOVE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY, I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY, AND HEARD THAT SAME LOUD NOISE. ONCE AGAIN, I THOUGHT I HAD HIT SOMETHING OR SOMETHING HAD HIT ME. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO DISCOVER THAT MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS DOWN. I VISITED MY LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND AM BEING TOLD IT WILL BE $250 (BEFORE TAXES AND FEES) TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT PARTS WEAR OUT AND NEED REPLACING BUT I FIND IT FUNNY THAT BOTH SIDES WENT OUT WITHIN ONE YEAR OF EACH OTHER. I ALSO DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE BACK WHERE THE WINDOWS SEEM TO FALL DOWN AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS ANY RECALL IN THE WORKS. THANK YOU. *TR | |
