oo naman normal yan sa lahat ng sasakyan di lang montero, sinubukan mo na bang ikutin ang manubela mo pagkatanggal ng susi? dyan mo malalaman iyan kung hindi nag lalock. kasi parang kuntil yang lock o pin na napipigil ng susi kapag naksaksak at may slot iyan , try mong ikutin pag wala talaga balik mo sa kasa.baka ayaw mag release ang pin pag binunot ang susi

Try mo alis ang battery sa may steering wheel, may issue before na may conflict ang remote ng alarm sa remote ng audio sa steering wheel, kung wala pa, try palitan bago battery.

naku! wag naman sana, although it might be possible kasi the week after ondoy namin nakuha ung unit. pero other than that the unit has no problem running. oki naman takbo. eh kahit cguro tanong ko un di naman aamin ang casa kung nabaha ung unit right?... Ibalik ko na lang cguro ulit sa kanila...

just got a mitsu montero sport 4x4 manual trans. as soon as we drove out of the casa on the way home, i experienced engine stalling when i down shifted from 3rd gear to 2nd gear. At first i thought it was just a fluke but the problem occurs at least once when i'm driving it. The problem seems to be intermittent because it doesn't happen all the time.

I returned the unit to the casa (mitsu otis), the SA told me that they also did experience the stalling when they tested it, but they said that they could not locate the problem, seems that all the systems are running the way they should. so he said to me that they would try to adjust the clutch and observe if it would solve the problem.

After that the stalling problem was reduced though it still happens once in a while, particularly when we were driving in NLEX. after that the problem resurfaced again frequently. I brought it back to mitsu casa though the SA i was albe to talk to at the time told me that they still have a lot of backlog due to the typhoon Ondoy, and they might not be able to attend to it right away. Since its intermittent he asked if i could just bring it back on the 1st 1000 check up and will be dealt simultaneously during the periodical check up. its now just in 800kms, 200kms more before the first 1000.

Has anybody experienced the same problem? i wasn't able to back read the whole forum topic though. thanks and good day.

Hi sir,

i had this experience when my was very new. now that it's at 5kms, such occurrences have disappeared...

Thank you po sa reply. Sinubukan ko ulit pero ayaw talaga mag lock. Dadalhin ko na sa casa.

sana nga hindi naman natin nilalahat may mga SA na may mga hidden target para diyan. para mabilis na maidispatsa ang mga unit nila... balik mo na lang tapos flush mo ang fuel system at kung ma check nila ang fuel filter kung may contamination sa loob. makikita naman yan pag inalis asa base eh.

ok enjoy driving and wish u luck

Hello!!! This is an update for the SMOKE GETTING INSIDE THE CABIN."
RESOLVED!!
Mine is monty 3.2 GLS SE. The Auto fan and auto air direction is the culprit!! When both are in auto, the fan is in very high gear when you start your car or when the sensors on the dashboard or the cabin senses the need to have a fast blower. When they are in high air blower, the air vent, where the air is coming from outside and entering thru the hood, will slightly open (maybe designed that way or the flip flop is not strong enough to cover the vent when pushed by strong air pressure) and, from ther, the outside air enters the cabin. If the blower keeps on blowing strong air, you can smell the air from the outside. This will also happen even if the auto fan is off but the fan is turnED to blow hard and fast. I all instances, the air vent is set at closed (yelow light is lit) to indicate that the flip flop should be tightly closed. But for whaterevr reason, it will slightly open.
SOLUTION!!! Permanently close the air vent where air comes from outside. The flipflop still operates to open and close but it becomes uiseless. THEY DID IT TO MY MONTY! Now, no more smoke inside the cabin!!!
ISSUE: what is the side effect? dont know yet except that if you want fresh air from outside (like when you are traveling in a highway full of trees and lakes), you need to open the window and blow all what is inside the cabin. Not to mention the loud sound caused by the air coming in and all the passengers will be disturbed. But better than a smoke in the acbin. My guess is the air filter that filters the circulating air inside the cabin might not be strong enough for the strong blower which is being compensated by the flip flop to slightlly open and suck air from outside.
SO there the mitsubishi thing.
BUT I LOVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR AND THE C5 CASA PEOPLE. I SALUTE THEM!!!

A brand new unit should not at all stall. If I were in your place I'd be screaming mad at Mitsubishi Otis now. Don't accept the SA's recommendation that you wait till the 1k km periodical service interval. This is crap. Tell him/her you want your unit fixed ASAP. You have all the right to request for immediate attention.
