The service guys in Diamond Fairview... They are offering to replace the steering column right away

Syempre pabor sa kanila yan! mababakalan nila unit mo, or yung tinanggal na spare part babakalin nila. Check mo din kung genuine mitsubishi spare part ang ibibigay sayo at kung yun ang ipapalit. Sweet talkers yung mga Service Advisors ng Diamond Fairview kaya ingat ingat!

I brought my steering problem to the local casa here last week.

The service was super quick as they have anticipated this problem already. Took them only 2 hours to replace the entire steering column. No questions asked, no fuss.

They nicknamed the new column 'magnum' since they say it is the ultimate fix.

I was out of there before noon.

Kudos to Mitsu Pit Crew!

2 hours? WoW! thats something new about the steering column in our platform.....because all of the bosb's that I was able to talk too with such problems were told that they had to leave their units for at least overnight.....and by then I thought I was the fastest because it took me a half day just to get mine fixed.... then there was you sir MR....

can you please sight some differences between the old and the new column?

TIA

been backreading this thread. my dad is planning to buy an everest this coming May ata and I'm convincing him to buy na lang a monty.

anyways, may nabasa ako dito sa thread na umaatras daw ang monty niya kapag nasa pataas?

yup, i noticed this too. i can confirm at 10% slope going up, in Drive with aircon ON, foot off the gas pedal, my MS rolls back. in comparison, my M3 does not on the same slope. the M3 just stays put or slowly move forward..

[easyman3]

to any MS owners, since yung third row aircon vents eh same as that found in the 1st gen forts, meron na ba nakapag-try yung nasa youtube sa thread na na-post dun?

ito yung usok eh pumapasok sa aircon ng third row. Kung tama pagkakatanda ko eh naka-on yung aircon tapos nagsindi sya ng mga incense sticks, tapos dun sya sa labas sa tapat ng tire sa ilalim, kitang-kita sa video na pumasok sa loob ng cabin yung mga incense smoke.

curious lang ako kung ganito rin sa MS, kasi kung naka-on yun habang nasa biyahe ka(lalo pag matagal) eh pwede pumasok carbon monoxide from the exhaust, na odorless, colorless at tasteless pa naman as well as other pollutants.

pero di ko encourage mga owners dito na i-try din nila kasi baka masira interior smell. kung may MS lang din ako or may friend ako na owner din eh sinubukan ko na para i-report din dito.

sana lang may maglakas loob or baka pwede ipa-test ng mga buyers sa SA nila para ibang Monty ang gamiting guinea pig.

Oh this is the culprit when i back read. The shirt inside my montero smells smoke after a few days. Not like my other SUV, even one month Caoat inside the car will not get smell like smoke.

I will test by not using the third row aircon for a while. i will post update after a week.

sir may na-discover ako kung saan pwede panggalingan yung amoy usok..

check mo yung takip ng srcew ng spare tire.. yung 2 na black plastic. lagyan mo ng magandang pang seal like (teflon tape o rubber tape) yung thread para sealed.. parang nawala yung amoy usok sa akin.. (parang nawala lang hehe)

kapag inalis kasi yung takip na plastic butas talaga kita mo na ang ilalim at wala pa 2feet ang layo nito sa tailpipe

may jacket ako lagi nakasampay sa 3rd row seat, amoy talaga usok na kerosene na hindi ko maintindihan pati yung mga extra damit na nasa bag nangangamoy na din...

parang yung california scent na car freshener dala mo yung amoy pag bumaba ka na hehehe

Thanks bro. But what worries me is not much the smell per se. It is the health hazard. I will try incense smoking later. i will keep you posted.

Also, i notice the flooring where the clips of the stepboard and the siding/walling plastic can be seen protruding from the underchasis floor. Try a highpresure water host under it and the water enters the cabin. I will posrt the pictures next time.

sir hanapin mo yung vent para sa air pressure (hindi ko alam kung ano tawag) dati sa lancer pizza ko doon pumapasok ang usok sobrang lapit pa nya sa tailpipe halos 1foot lang kaya naamoy ko sa loob.. nung na-seal na wala na amoy usok..

baka sakali yun na ang sagot....

Sorry for this late reply unfortunately I didn't have at hand even my celfone's cam but the box of the 'new' steering column had 'Made In Thailand' marked on it. As for the new column itself, I noticed that the shaft joints had orange paint marks on them; probably to distinguish it from the defective ones?

They noted the replacement on my warranty booklet then they reset my odo's Trip A(?).

Well they started at 9am then they were putting back the steering wheel by 11am so that's about 2 hours. I guess they got so used to replacing the darn thing that they have achieved a masters degree hehehe. I was there the other day to accompany my cousin in getting her new Strada and I saw one unit, they say it was nearly a year old, having the same replacement.

ahh I see then sir.....I myself had already undergone this steering column replacement about 5 months ago I think....but the replacement column that was put in is still the old version....so now I'm a bit worried about it because the knocking sound might come back again...that's why I'm always talking to my truck saying that "kung tutunog ulit yang column mo, agahan mo na...habang under warranty pa" hehehe....So now the good thing is that well, I know now that there's this so called ultimate fix already and it doesn't take too long for it to be replaced...

and for that...I want to thank you for the great news sir MR...

BTW sir...please send my invitation to your cousin on joining us in TSCP... TIA

[Memphis Raines]

Ah yes sir locoroco, hindi pa nga dumating yung unit nya I told them already about TSCP and its provincial chapters (we live in the Visayas).

I might be able to post some pics of her unit soon. Dang that truck looks so good in black!

Same here, I hope that if ever the column breaks down again it would be within the warranty period kasi by the looks of it parang mahal na part yan eh

I guess I better start talking to it too :hihihi:

All the best sir.
