1month palang monty namin sana walang problem..
regarding sa ingay ng engine wala tahimik na tahimik siya naalala ko nung unang ilabas namin sa casa nagaantay ako gumalaw ung body or something na maingay from engine pero wala.. unlike ung fortuner na 2.5 ang ingay nung engine.. lalo pag matic everytime magsshift rinig na rinig mo pati ung ungol ng makina

good for you sir, you have a very silent monti engine, unlike the unit got by my wife's friend (one month-old monti also), her engine is too noisy, even noticeable from about 6 meters away from the engine hood, it seems that the engine is shaking as well at idle speed. I told her to have it checked from the casa where she got her unit. we're also expecting to have our own monti unit before this christmas day, sana we are also as lucky as you are, na tahimik ang engine na makuha. Enjoy your ride sir.

yun ba strada 3rd gen may ganyan din problema na squeaking sound since they are platform mates. anyway, when I bought my 2nd gen strada, i had the squeaking sound pero intermittent minsan lumalabas minsan wala, mas lumalala ng mga 3 years na. i initially blamed our driver and had my dad fire him for not taking care of my car

so baka naman tlagang normal yan kasi nga ladder frame kayo? i guess you just have to live with it, kasi hindi naman talaga car ang binili nyo, kungdi truck

[jimnyeatworld]

nakakalungkot naman basahin yung mga bad experiences nyo sa MS considering mga brand new vehicles yan...

honestly, nakakapag sisi ba na bumili kyo ng MS considering those issues?

ganyan lang talaga pag nabile ka ng car na bagung-bago model and barely one year after its release. naging guinea pig kasi sa possible bugs. parang yun mga una nabile ng iphone gen1, sobrang dami din reklamo dun

buti na lang nun intro price ng crv noon 1999, at nabile kami, wala pa youtube reviews noon sinuwerte ako walang ganyan problems 11 years later

the same goes with my new released 2006 Sta Fe, korean risk pa ito, pero walang kaproble-problema. swertihan din

pero nun bumili ako ng strada 2nd gen noon, sabi ko sa inyo 3 months after using it, sobrang bad aura na ako sa sasakyan ko. talagang niloko ko pa dad ko nag magpalit na lang kami ng car , sabi ko para kang naka-pajero dito, tapos tamang-tama pag nag-out of town golf sila, matipid at malakas humatak

buti na lang pumayag dad ko heheh. haay, those were the days na akala ko pag naka Pajero ka mamayaman ka at mataas ka. ang kapalit pala noon eh hirap sa pagmamaneho and adjustment na what i bought is not a car but a truck. literally a truck, kasi mas magaan pa dalhin yun L300FB ko kaysa sa strada

----

ang isa pang bantayan nyo sa mga new Mitsu diesels nyo ngaun ay ang turbo intercooler. nakow, minitikan ako dyan buti naibenta ko na strada kungdi tumataginting na 100K++ magpalit nyan. tingen ko mas strained ang turbo pag ang diesel mo ay ladder frame kaysa crossover kasi mas matindi ang drag ng mechanical

di tulad ng CRDi crossovers, parang tsikot lang mga suspension neto. so light and easy

pansin ko rin yung MONTY ng kapitbahay ko, habang tumatagal lalong umiingay, samantalang nung bago yun e ang ganda ng sipol, lalo na pagnag-aaccelerate/nag-rerev dun sa street namin, rinig na rinig mo yung engine noise, unlike fortuner sipol lang naririnig ko....

Back in the mid-90's, nagka-issue na nuon about the factory-defective units of Mitsubishi involving its pickups and SUVs. The defects range from oil leaks to poor engine performance w/c included abnormal sounds and smoke belching.

Masakit nga naman na kabago-bago ay may sira or problema na agad.

My brother-in-law is planning to buy a Montero this month pero nagkaubusan na ang stocks sa Metro. Sa 20th Dec pa daw ang dating ng new units. He is opting for the 4x2 MT variant. May available daw sa Cabanatuan but the price is higher . . . additonal 40k !!!

Anyway, thanks for your blog. Ipapabasa ko sa kanya ang mga feedbacks nyo.

Lets keep it in english mga kabayan. Foreigners are reading this thread too. Even Mitsu abroad are monitoring us: their experimental pig reactions

Now i read about this sir easyman.. Very alarming..

As they say it in our forum, second case for the monty already but the other one is not yet confirmed. Hopefully, this is an isolated case.. And not happen again in the future in any car around..

The accident occurred while the tranny was engaged to neutral? Scary...

Take these stories with a grain of salt until confirmed. Sometimes "sudden acceleration" issues are caused by driver error who believed they were stepping on the brakes where in fact they were pressing hard on the accelerator. The Montero Sport in question is an automatic, shouldn't the automatic clutch prevent the vehicle from moving forward that fast IF the driver was stepping on the brakes?
