I'm no car expert, but I think this issue of SUA is blown out of proportion. so far sa nabasa ko na mga news articles, this is only happening in the Philippines. at least as far as I've read things online.
I'm working here in the middle east & I have never heard of even 1 incident of SUA sa mga Montero anywhere in the GCC states, it may probably be some issue with the settings kasi sa pagkaka-alam ko, the Monteros sold for each country have their own different settings according to the country they're being sold to.
But I could be wrong through. I like the Montero & if ever magfor good na kami sa Pinas, I would wish to buy it.
