Brought my 2016 Montero GLS Premium to casa today for 5K PMS. I told them regarding the power steering shake or vibration I experienced when passing through humps, making u-turns and uneven pavement. Initially the SA said he's not aware but recommended me to report to the warranty department. Luckilly Iknow someone from the warranty team and when I talked to her m, he said that they are aware of this issue. The engr from the warranty team asked to to schdule an appointment. They will do replacement of the affected parts.

Saan casa ito. I have this kind of problem less that 3 weeks monty. Ramdam ko parati kasi pag igagarahe ko yung car left turn hump ang unang sasalubong sa kin. even pag maniobra at u turn

Diamond motors chief sa may fairview commonwealth. They already replaced not the whole steering assembly but only the steering coupling.nawala na ung vibration durIng turns sa uphill and downhill and humps. Pero im noticing ung parang "alog" sa steering wheel when passing humps and unevennpvement.

whats the update from the thai and aussie forums/mitsu subsidiaries there regarding the issue?

[ramiel17]

Parang most MS owners here don't really mind the design flaw of the steering column? I think others should voice out the issue with their dealership so that Mitsu Phils will act on this Asap!

Mentioned on the thai forum that two manufacturer were commissioned to build the steering column and rack n pinion.

I guess the one that we got was the flawed one.

Sana mmpc can address this. My experience is this. Kabig sa right, sabi obserbahan ko. Then punta na lang ako sa local computerized alignment shop, check it, its not align nga, and get this loose ang mga nuts and bolts. But unfortunately, may kabig pa rin. Balanced all the wheels. Well, slow run, wala naman na kabig. But sctex run. When i let go of the steering, its like the steering will veer a little to the right, everytime, di ba dapat diretso lang. But when i hold it center, its still veer a little to the right, but not like nung una.
And another one, is in manila, when i make a u-turn, or hard left, theres a thug sound underneath. Ill have it check too. Sana, maayos ito ng mmpc. If they could, its perfect.

I also experienced this when we took home our unit. It Veers a little to the right while I'm on Nlex north bound. Though tolerable, but still not acceptable since we bought it brand new!

I wanna suggest if MSCP should be involve, then with the group's help we can file a petition.

Ps. Haven't got it check if the wheels are align. But I suspect that its off by a bit.

Not all are affected im guessing. But most owners dont know about tsikot forums. I guess its just a matter of time before the number complaints will increase.

Just so you know for every 1000 owner only 1-10 are tiskot members. Heheheh

Hopefully tsikot.com owner/s try to invest in promoting the forums via facebook. Of course that will cost money lol.

I don't have this problem. So maybe not all have the issue. Plus, steering vibration is normal on uneven roads but constant vibrations are not. Nway a car owner will normally feel if there is something amiss. Is there by any chance some of you experienced the problem when changing from size 20 wheels?

Mine is all stock. No plans yet in changing to bigger wheels.

That's why I mentioned before that could this be a steering/road feedback!? But it doesn't seems right eh!

Because my elantra w/c has an EPS don't have such road feedback kahit pa iharabas ko to edsa.

My unit veers slightly to the right but very tolerable. But of course gusto ko perfect sya so will have it aligned sa thursday at the casa.
No steering shake though so hopefully walang malaking problem underneath.

[wrcastro_ph]

I have an almost 5 months old unit with more than 5k kms and I dont have this kind of issue with steering.

[ramiel17]

Yes the more i used my ms the more that I realize that its rather a steering/road feedback. Got really used to EPS steering.

But i would still get it check as there're instances that part of the steering column/joints are hitting some hard rubber. To give you an idea, if you ever used a rubber hammer then pound it on metal its like that but very soft thud. This only happens on very uneven roads/bumps but not frequently.

Will get to try it on TPLEX this week and lets see. On Nlex I didn't experience it. Aside from the slightly veering to the right.

2 months ago pa ako nagreklamo about the steering veering to the right sa citimotors. they did a little adjustment while on the road test. meron pa rin. tapos acceptable na daw yung 100 meters stright tumakbo before veering to the right

balancing lang yan. dalhin mo na lang sa mga tire shops na may balancing equipment at saglit lang nilang gawin yan at minimal cost...

I was thinking na libre lang dapat sa casa yung adjustment. wala pang 1 month monty ko that time

[Red Dragon]

Just my observation. highways are usually sloped downward going to the edge of the road. the highest part of the road is the center (yung may center line in a 2 way highway) and sloping down going to the edge. kung maglagay ka ng tubig sa center ng highway mag iislide yung tubid papuntang gilid ng road dahil sa slope. with this condition pag ikaw nag dadrive sa right lane ng road (Philippine style) at bitawan mo manibela of course you tend to veer to the right which is normal (normal for the tires to follow the slope going to the lesser side of the road which is the edge) vice versa kung ikaw naman nagdadrive sa left lane (not Philippine style) you will veer towards the left at normal yan. Pati ako diko maintindihan English ko. I hope you understand my stupid explanation para di tayo pagtawanan ng mga car manufacturers. dika talaga papansinin ng mga car manufacturers kung ang complain mo e hindi naman problema kundi normal behavior ng tires at steering to follow the slope of the road (kahit pa anong sasakyan siguro). baka mainis lng ang mga car manufacturers kung ganyang mga complain at isipin mga ignorante tayong mga Pinoy.

What little adjustment did they do? Mine veers a bit to the right too. My other cars have no obvious veering but with the monty, it's more obvious that you have to keep holding the steering wheel to the left

[auroraoffroader]

I understand what they are saying for the slope of the roads. i have done driving at the left lane, and still veers to the right. how bad? its like your going to overtake slowly someone going right, so you can imagine how bad the alignment is. as I said before been also to local computerised alignment shops, but small change, still veers to the right but not like before, but still very annoying for a brand new car. and I also posted for the THUG sound whenever I U-turn to the left or do a MANEOBRA. But only when the steering is in full left turn.
Good News: Had my 5,000km PMS, complain about the problems mentioned. what they have done was re-torque the stability bar, well thats what they say they did. loosen it up first and re-torque it. and until now no THUG sound. and no veering to the right, just what i expect for a brand new car. it only veers left or right depending on the slope of the road like others mentioned here. so for me case closed. hope this will help others. and now no more regrets on getting this monty. thanks.
