i just got my ms 2 weeks ago. brought it to bicol and i was happy with the ride.

my prob is..the cover of the 2 door lights (front right and back left doors) simply popped out! what the...! i brought the unit to citimotors and i was told mdami daw may complaints na ganun? and prob is, hindi daw kasama sa warranty? so igu glue ko na lang???? a 2 week old car with a glued cover light????

darn. this is my 4th car but my first mitsu... and this is the first time i experienced this. mitsu has craftmanship issues. i hope i will not kick my own butt soon for not listening to my friend's advice bout mitsu. darn.

Hi Guys,

I have a 2-month old GLS SE 4x4 and I had my 1k PMS at Citimotors Makati Last Oct. 28. I spent over 7k 'coz my advisor told me they had to use synthetic oil already. I'm concerned about the noticeable changes after the PMS:

1. Acceleration feels less powerful prior to the PMS (parang nabibitin)
2. I used to pull-off higher speeds below 2000 RPM but now it seems I have to push it to 3k RPM or more to get to that speed.
3. Shifting pattern seems to be misplaced both on open road and inclines
3. Increased engine noise and vibration
4. Increased vibration of the 4wd stick resulting to increased cabin noise

Performance was really fine prior to the PMS. I have not contacted my SA or engineer yet about it (bought it in Citi Alabang but had the 1k PMS in Makati) but I plan to bring it to Alabang na lang for a check instead para may konting pressure ng SA ko. I'd just like to know:

1. Has any of you experienced this? What was done to resolve?
2. What were the components checked/adjusted during the PMS that may have contributed to the changes?
3. What to I need for them to look at? (Para naman di nila ako paikutin)

I still have no plate number so I hope this isn't a sign of any long term problem. Please help.

Thanks,

ibalik mo na lang muna sa nag service para malaman naman nila ang kapalpakan nila. you need a proper service the point is we send our ride in service center because we don't want to have any problem and now after the qualified service center hit your ride thats not acceptable.

Ang dami palang problema ng montero. Buti nalang di pa ko naka bili.

brother, get one. you wont regret it. I started this post. Got so much problem but it is worth it. Mine is GLS SE 4x4. bang for the buck! you get more than what you paid for. Not perfect but worth it.

just a normal pro and con of vehicle(s) there is no perfect as it will be a monopoly hehehe... its a simple thing(s) that we need to look after para mas gumanda ang ride mo kaysa iba.... kasi maliit na lang iyan na kailangan nating i improve para ma appreciate natin ang ating mga ride....

wow sir trekkers maraming maraming salamat sa info!

3rd diesel ko na to pero ngayon lang naka encounter ng problem kaya wala pa ko kaalam alam about dyan hehe

sir Rho1D ibalik mo lang ng ibalik sa kanila maaayos din yan nakakainis nga lang pero wala tayo magagawa eh...

Oo nga eh...that's the frustrating part 'coz I'm anticipating that they will always give the standard "normal findings sa computer" etc. Nonetheless, has to be done.

Thanks *JJGF!

Darn right unacceptable! I'm sure you all understand the frustration haay but I still love my Monty don't get me wrong. It's just the service I'm concerned about. I'm sure also that it's nothing to be highly alarmed about it's just that for a new car, you kinda expect no hassles especially on the early years.

Thanks *Trekkers!

Ask ko lang po lahat po bakit yung ibang dealers nanghihingi ng 3% Dealers Income/Incentive na 3%. Yung nanghihingi ng 3% na dealer eh usually yung may sinasabing may stock sila na pwede ibigay samin. Sa ibang dealer naman walang hinihigi pero sa ngayon wala pa daw stock and naka pila lang kami.

Ganun po ba talaga yun inuuna nila yung may makukuhanan silang D.Ii bago ibigay yung unit?

for info lang ewan ko kung updated pa ito sa manila kausap ko kahapon yung isang taga mitsubishi sa dubai may TB daw sa steering shaft ng montero, kung mayroon kayong napapansin na medyo maingay sa steering ninyo baka ito na iyon. tumawag ako sa pamangkin ko at ipinatsek ko kung umiingay yung shaft para maka claim ng warranty. mas maganda na yung may impormasyon tayo...

Sirs, hope you can help me with my problem, I just bought a 2nd hand 2005 Montero GLS 2.8 and it did not come with an owners manual. I'm a newbie on diesel vehicles especially with 4x4 function. Can somebody lend or sell me an owners manual for this vehicle. Thank you in advance!!!!
