What is wrong
Mitsubishi is recalling 120,000 my 2004-2006 endeavor passenger vehicles. During vehicle use, the ignition key interlock cable (which is a component of the interlock system) may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the gearshift mechanism is not in the park position.
The risk
If the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and correct these vehicles for the reported condition. The recall will begin on july 7, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-[removed].
