Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[car_fan]

Sir, from R to D, papasok ba sa D yun without stepping on the break pedal? kaya sya sumibad kasi naka tapak sya sa gas and at the same time nilagay nya sa D yung shift lever?

I have not tried it in an AT car that I have used and I do not have a montero to confirm. Maybe other tsikoteers can confirm.

Sa lahat ng a/t car ko you can't shift the lever from P to R,N,D w/o stepping on the brake. Pero from R to N, D or vice versa no need to step on the brake so malamang same lang ang a/t montero na you can shift the lever from R to D without stepping on the brake na.

2009 monty owner here hindi po pwede from R to N so di makakarating ng D yung shifter. You need to press the shift lever para Mailagay mo sa N or P

If thats the case. Hmmmm. May pang down na ako 2016 model. :D

I am also on the side saying it is due to driver error. But I was wondering about that move too. Why would they buy back the units? If they really are confident that it is not a factory defect, why would they resort to that?

And yes, I agree that the driver in the full video does not look like the guy in the ABS-CBN report at all.

Remember the "lemon" Ford Everest? The American who drove all around Alabang with LEMON written on the side of his car in soap?

I talked to an SA at Ford Alabang who knew about the case. There was nothing wrong with the car. The argument started when the guy, displeased with the rough ride (this was the first-gen), wanted them to buy it back at full price.

Eventually, Ford simply bought it back. Not full price, but above market value. Just to quiet the guy.

He bought a BMW touring bike later. Then complained about it.

Then it "mysteriously" caught fire after BMW refused to buy it back. Collected insurance. Goodbye.



Sometimes, the manufacturer will simply buy back to avoid conflict. Other times, they'll stand firm, if they know there's no way the customer will win over them in court. Here, given how the DTI and Congress have responded, do you think Mitsu will get fair shakes?

ah ok, I'm just wondering kasi sa akin from D to R you cannot shift without stepping on the break and release button pero R to D, di ko maalala kasi I always make it a point to step on the break and press the release button at the same time before shifting to D. Thanks for the info Sir!

video of the whole incident.

Ano? Sabi daw ng driver nito na SUA sya? Mukang mali. Parang yung Montero ang na SID.. Sudden Idiot Driver..

kitang kita naman na silinyador pinipiga nya..

tsaka dapat hindi pinapahawak ng manibela ang mga bobo at tangang driver.. sorry sa word pero kitang kita na naman..

Not a Montero owner pero in this video malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw kung sino ang nagkamali.. bakit hindi na lang kse aminin nung driver na mali sya.. hindi naman mababawasan itlog nya kung aaminin nya..

From the full vid it looks like 2nd driver doesn't know how to use an a/t and/or isn't used to a powerful engine. I've seen accidents like this before. Not as dramatic but it's always a guy used to driving a really slow m/t car driving a powerful a/t car for the 1st time. They always grossly underestimate gas pedal response. 2 of those times it happened in a garage.

This particular incident is bad news for real SUA victims if ever there are any. Future claims will appear dubious.

Sabi ko sainyo e. Ganyan ka-bias ang abs cbn. Kaya sa gma ako nanunuod ng news e. Ewan ko anong gustong palabasin nitong abs. Tsaka di ko rin matanggap mga comments ni noli de castro lalo na sa mga gobyernong nilalait nya. Naging vice president sya and had the chance na kumilos, anong ginawa nya? Nganga..

About buy back, may nabasa ako dati na dinala yung mga "SUA cars" sa japan to test ng mitsubishi itself and found negative about it. Baka eto na yun? Binili siguro para makuha? Can someone confirm?
