for the #1, #2 & #3, mukhang sira yung sasakyan mo bro. Baka lemon unit. Papalitan mo sa Mitsu habang maaga. Tell them the Thai workers might be f*cking up the products because of the turmoil and social discontent. Same thing American workers do with American cars.

Good thing, di sya biglang tumitirik.

Ngeks....nakakatakot tuloy bumili ng Mitsu MS. Ok pa naman sana yung 4x3 at Php1.3M. Na ayos na kaya ng Mitsu yung quality control issues ng kotse nila. Pinagpipili-an pa naman namin whether to buy the Mitsu MS 4x2 or the Toyota Fortuner na 2.7 VVTi.......Alin kaya mas ok.....

The quality control issues of Mitsu in general are long gone. That fact is now recognized worldwide, although people will still tend to link any lemons back to the previous issues as generalization, nakatatak na kasi sa isip yun e.

Kahit naman siguro Fortuner pa, posible pa rin na lemon sya. Depends on luck na rin ng buyer yan. So good luck on whatever you choose to purchase.

i think these issues appeared with the Strada as well, it might be good to compare notes with our Strada brothers (TSCP) out there

Yes i did. the mechanic sid that they also notice one from the other but the owner did not notice. after fixing that unit, ako din daw. pinababalik sa akin dahil no time na when i went there.

Sir
May i know kung saan casa ito? I want my montero to be checked din for this issue. thanks

**easyman3** · April 28th, 2009 05:05 PM

update lang po. The casa seems to unable to fix the "Thug" sound when starting. They quit fixing it.

The culprit is the engine hitting the chasis when starting. I sent the unit to them 3 times already and the Thug is still there but lessened. BUT the thing is: it still there. Once in a while it "thugs". If this not usual to other GLS SE 4x4, then our unit should be replaced if not corrected.

According to the attendant of the other forumer who has same unit told him it is normal because it has a bigger engine. Grabeeeee...... i will write Mitsu thailand and japan and philipines to complain.

i keep you all updated.

So if the engine is hitting the chassis during starting then it would only be a matter of time before it might also hit it when shutting down.

I think there a design defect on the engine mounts and clearances.

I had a Montero GLS SE and had this strong"Thud" sound even right after the day na kinuha ko sa casa ang unit.Until now it is giving off that sound whenever i start the engine.After few months being in use,the "RESERVE"tire indicator alarm ng Tire Pressure Monitor System occassionally went off/on.I've checked the tire pressure and it seems to be within normal pressure range.Had you have this same problems on your Montero?

bro, wala pang ganyang issue na lumabas sa strada thread (as far as i can recall)...

yan ang advantage if you have a club... you can compare your unit with one another so alam nyo ang 'normal' o hindi. but i can attest may mga complaints na driver na ang may problem hindi yung vehicle (proven na yan sa strada club, hehehe). naalala ko tuloy si steve, yung british na member ng TSCP, when asked kung may complaints siya sa strada. eto reply nya:"its a damn pick-up, not a bloody ferrari!"
