2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor equipment problems

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

ON VAC. WHILE DRIVING NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD SOAKED. READ ON LINE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM FACTORY RELATING TO THE AIR CONDITIONER. WAS FIXED IN 2005 MODELS. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS AS YOUR SHOE GETS WET AND CAN SLIP ON THE BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A $800.00 FIX.MITSUBISHI WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE A RECALL ON THIS??

I HAVE A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR. A/C WORKS SOME TIMES IN THE CITY. MOST OF THE TIME AFTER DRIVING ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY IT BLOWS WARM AIR OR NOT AT ALL. THE THERMISTOR ASSY HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE RESISTOR HARNESS FOR THERMISTOR ASSY. DID NOT CORRECT HE PROBLEM. MISUBISHI STATES (WHICH IS FALSE) THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WAS CAUSED BY THE PLACEMENT OF A FIN SENSOR BY AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE. WHAT IS A FIN SENSOR (NEVER HAD THIS REPLACED) AND DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS. THANK YOU, BILL

THIS IS A 3 MONTH OLD CAR AND PURCHASED THE SUV NEW, AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOW SWITCHED STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY REPAIRS AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE $80 TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. SO I END UP FIXING THE PROBLEM MYSELF IN WHICH I REPLACED A FAULTY SWITCH. NOW MY CAR'S DOME LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. ALSO AFFECTED IS THE MEMORY FOR THE CLOCK OR RADIO. THE REMOTE KEYLESS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR OBVIOUSLY HAS PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME JUST FOR LOOKING AT IT.
