My car is 2004 and has more than 120,000 miles on it and has had zero problems what so ever! I think the rode noise is a little bit more than Honda Pilot or Toyota 4Runner. The gas mileage is as posted and I drive 90% highway and get ~22-23mgp.
One of the BEST vehicles I have owned

Me and my wife purchased ours in 2008, a 2004 Silver XLS model with 30k when we purchased it. It was used as our primary vehicle and traveled ALOT of miles since we lived just outside of Orlando and due to family and work we had to travel a average of 50-60 miles round trip for just work/family. During our ownership we had no issue with the Endeavor other than a rear drivers side window actuator going out which was only $70 in parts and extremely easy to fix yourself. The engine didn't give us a single issue and the transmission shifted smoothly like the day we got it. Interior materials are not high end quality, but still very good quality. The paint on the side mirrors and door handles are bit thin and showed fade/oxidation even though I hand washed and wax and sealed the vehicle. Interior cargo room is amazing...able to transport decent size furniture from Ikea many times and packing for long vacation trips with no issue and easy access too. Unfortunately a Toyota Tundra hydroplaned through 3 lanes on the opposite direction of traffic, crossed the median and slammed into our Endeavor during rain. Our Endeavor was totalled but did its job to protect my wife, mother in law and my 2 year old son who was sleeping when the Tundra hit us. We walked out with no major injuries..just a couple bruises but my son and mother in law walked away without a scratch. My wife loved the Endeavor and still after they discontinued them would like another one. Great vehicle and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a affordable dependable SUV.

Purchased 2004 AWD in 2008 with 50,000 miles , now at 114000 and have only done a timing belt. Call me lucky? Not even the brakes. From Oregon to Hawaii and back, most of it left outside and still looks great. Love the view of the road, with the small windows in the A pillar to see the sidewalk and kid on bike about to cross in front of you. Just test drove a Chev, Traverse and felt like I was in a cave. Negatives,Retarded instrument panel, light blue on gray/silver next to impossible to see as the driver. Heater strong but finding the air flow setting takes 2 people. Tire wear is even and not excessive No leaks or malfunctions in sunroof or other windows. Ride can be choppy due to the short wheel base, and this is a car that needs to be driven at a safe speed. Swerving at 70 mph on wet pavement would get dicey. Look for a well cared for used and it is a tremendous bang for the used car buck.

READ THIS IF YOU ARE GOING TO PURCHASE A 2004 My updates give you the Good, Bad and SUPER UGLY. Plus, read the last update so you can laugh until you cry. 9-9-2022 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So it begins... Update: 8-15-2019 >>PROS: The drivers and passengers side seats are big, very comfortable if you weigh 200-240 lbs. That's the #1 great thing about this vehicle. Comfortable and ROOMY. The second is the A/C, it will freeze your ear lobes off!! Heated Drivers side and Passengers leather side seats, heats up fast but isn't super Hot, just right. If you install a hitch, you can pull a 5x10 SA Enclosed trailer no problem, however, you need automatic breaks installed on the trailer if you have a 6x12. It can pull it but you will notice the weight there, especially going down hill on a highway. The brakes on the SUV are Excellent! Good Turn radius. Infinity Multi-CD changer is great and Speakers are Great. In 2018 I was sitting at a red light and was rear ended by a teen that was texting and driving. He tried to stop but still hit me while I was stopped at the light. I feel safer than the newer vehicles that have mostly plastic on them. His Prius was Totaled while mine had a small dent in my gate and frame was bent slightly. My mom and I has a little whiplash from it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: 8-15-2019 >>CONS: When the Amplifier for your Radio goes bad, it will start drawing from the battery and there is no way to fix it, except replace it with another $600 factory replacement amplifier which isn't even guaranteed to fix the problem. The Mechanic at Mitsubishi disconnected the amplifier which stopped it from drawing from the battery. Now you have No Radio or Bluetooth, don't buy those $60 "clip-on2 JBL" Bluetooth speakers at Best Buy, they suck. The Hydraulics in the back gate quit working, it is super heavy to lift and the window as well. Back Window Trim dry rots quick and window will leak in a down pour. The Sunroof is big and nice to have, but it has 2 tubes on the sides and they do get gunked up, no way to get rid of it without replacing them. Sunroof tubes replaced not but a year ago and already it's leaking again. Same with the back gate trim. Also replaced the whole ceiling fabric because of the sunroof tubes leaking and causing black mold. Transmission is going and it will cost $2000 to replace. I don't even have 100k miles on it! I do not off-road with this. I don't drive it but 2-3 days a week. Just to work and grocery store. Yeah, I'm boring as hell. (rolls eyes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: 8-15-2019 My Thoughts: Make sure it has a good paint job, because you can't resell it if you need to. Paint jobs are EXPENSIVE, unless you know someone... I would not buy this again if someone offered me another. Don't buy it. I'm looking at buying a truck, instead. The Mechanics said trucks are made for construction and those engines last forever, especially Toyota Tacoma Trucks. So that's what I am looking at. Do research for Cons before you buy, don't just read all the good stuff about a vehicle. Another thing, some of the reviews I read, the later models fixed some of the problems I had in this 2004 model. Some food for thought: If you buy from a private seller and they sold you a lemon, you are SOL based on what sheriff said. If you buy from a dealer, and the sold you a lemon, you have a 3-day lemon law in Florida for a refund. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: 9-9-2022 The Funny and UGLY Review you've been waiting for: Transmission has been shaking the vehicle so bad, I've been just waiting for the thing to kick the bucket since my last update back in 2019. The POS hasn't died yet. Thanks to all the negatives in earlier posts, I've since ripped out the seats due to the windows quit working and it rains almost every day but in Florida it's a monsoon like you've seen on Jumanji. God damn, $300 a window motor? I've since started using duck tape. My SUV looks ghetto af especially with the peeling paint thanks to the shitty Florida sun. Still have no radio. So I'm bored to death driving it. Also, not related to the vehicle, just human stupidity, (mine), I burned a hole in the passenger seat with a flashlight, I smelled something burning when I realized the f*cking seat was melting next to me. Spotlights are no joke, I was trash picking that day. One mans trash is anothers treasure, lmao! Side note: Chevy Equinox's are great on gas but another money pit. Just Buy a Truck, you won't get all the Bull shit you get with cars and SUVS.

While initially loved the truck, as time/mileage wears on, no after market parts available, so costly. Also, the need for Premium fuel. Dealer had stated could use regular at a loss of mileage-I guess with regular the best I get is 10-12mpg! Fuel filler set known by many mechanics to rot out, had back order for over 6 weeks, all the while spilling gas every time I tried to get it into the tank.
