Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[oaeonset]

Maaring hindi lang talaga dito sa pinas nangyari yung sua o yung brake at gas pedal mishandling ng monty. Kasi kung sa pinas lang nangyari ito which is maybe not as big market compare sa pinagsama-samang market ng thailand at iba pang mas mayayamang mga bansa na may monty, sa aking palagay, sa tagal na rin ng monty sa market maaring marami talagang cases ng sua at pedal mishandling sa iba't ibang bansa na merong ganitong model kaya ngayon nagdesisyon ang MMC na maglagay ng "Misacceleration Mitigation System" na safety feature sa 2016 model. Better late than sorry. Ang nakakapagtaka bakit walang masearch sa internet na ganitong cases sa ibang bansa.?

Toyota knew of the sticky pedal problem a year before the SUA cases blew up... Rather call an outright recall, they hid it until it became too obvious,

This is why everyone does pre-emptive recalls nowadays. Better to be safe than to pay a crapload in fines and to suffer negative publicity.

But then, after a brief dip, everyone forgot about it. Once SUA wasn't the news of the day in the US, Toyota's sales went straight back up.

The biggest danger to Mitsubishi is, IF it is proven that there ARE mechanical defects that directly cause SUA, they will be forced to pay a bigger fine. It would be in their best interests to disclose everything now than to give the DTI the fuzzy impression that they are covering everything up.

I thought the line: "There are no defects" was a mistake. They should say: "These are the known defects, and no, they don't include accelerator failure", and give the DTI all the info they need to make a fair, informed decision.

Ang daming Montero, halos lahat automatic. Tanong ng isang driver ko. Shift nya sa d, hindi pa nga cya nag gas. Bakit tumakbo daw?
Hahahaha.. Mas marami pala di nakaka alam ng matic kaysa manual

I'm driving a Fortuner right now. I can shift R-N-D-2-L up and down multiple times without pressing anything at all.

Yung explanation ng head ng technical department ng mitsubishi dito parang yung mainboard din ng computer pag low batt na yung CMOS battery reset na rin ang CMOS kaya pag kulang na rin ang supply ng kuryente sa ECU ng sasakyan doon na nagkakaproblema.

mabuhay ang Isuzu Crosswind!

That is interesting bro.

Can you share the link, please?

If indeed true, replacement of the CMOS battery should be done at least every year or x months, regardless of the mileage. Or, a warning light should tell the owner to have his car serviced, to prevent the "perfect storm"....

Nagkausap lang kami boss. In addition to that puro green plate ang nagkaproblema daw.

Thanks bro.- because I heard earlier from somebody of a similar case with a similar(?) ride in NZ.

I was searching the net, but could not find anything related to that...

Mitsubishi's SUA dilemma will be forever etched in public psyche, whether they prove it is a myth or not. It was the only SUV to have a blog for the condition. Many attributed "incidents" were collated in the blog, hence the saying if you repeat something many times, it must be true. Ever since the Bias Network focused it again, dumami ulit yung mga "incidents", kahit obvious na driver error.

On Friday, 20 January 2012 at about 2:15 PM a driver was driving her 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander along Brandon Street, Wellington NZ looking for a disabled parking bay so that she could settle her 92-year-old mother into a wheelchair and take her shopping.

Finding an angled disabled parking bay free, she turned into it and was in the last stages of bringing the car to a halt when it suddenly accelerated, mounted the pavement and crashed into the entrance of the Bayleys building, carrying a passing pedestrian with it. The pedestrian was pushed through a display window of the Kircaldie and Stains Department Store but was not badly injured. The driver and her passenger were uninjured.

The vehicle came to a halt jammed between the angled window of the Department Store on its left hand side and on its right hand side against a pillar. As a result of the impact, an extensive segment of the left-hand front disc brake rotor, approximating to the span of the brake callipers, was broken off. It is presumed that as a result of the damage to the brake rotor the left wheel could no longer rotate.

On the right-hand side of the vehicle the front right-hand wheel appears to have been spinning against the surface of the pillar for some time. This correlates with a witness statement that the engine continued to roar for several seconds after impact.

Hindi ka ba tinatamad magreply? Sipag mo ah. Dapat fanboy sa fanboy lang. Hahaha

Ako sobrang-sobra tamad na dito, parang araw-araw same topics same happening.

Here is the link Bro. The report states that the court decision is pedal misapplication or driver error, only stating his opinion and hypothesis as to why it occured based on that broken brake rotor disc on the front left wheel assy. Now if you would ask me, how in this world would applying brake can tore one half of the rotor disc when there are only two bolts that hold the brake pads and piston and is still in its pristine condition. Surely a metallurgical expert's opinion is needed here. Mind you the vehicle involved is Outlander, not Challenger(pajerosport).

Nanood ako ng tfc at pinalabas n naman na may bagong SUA.yung pumasok sa sala ang montero nya.Sabi naka neutral daw at handbrake pA.bigla parin humarurot.Ano kaya yun?

Pinasok ng masamang ispiritu......

Naka-N. Naka-hand brake. Umandar pa rin? Wow...Ipatawas na nya yung Montero nya.

Wala raw bang fail-safe in case low batt ang ECU? Dapat it should halt or switch-off the vehicle if not enough power supply to the ECU. If it occurs while the vehicle is running, it should decelerate then stop. Then, the vehicle can be moved mechanically.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the Montero's pedal picture, but I seem to notice some kind of landings, an upper and a lower one. The grain on the carpet seem to recess downwards as shown by the red arrow. These landings maybe affecting the driver's ability to step the right pedal. I could be wrong though. Here is what I meant.

ano ba number ni rep castelo.

abay ako nalang ang bibili ng montero niya..kung hindi niya maibenta.,

I've had ECUs with defective power supply. (engine swap)

I would have been very happy if the car would have actually accelerated at the time instead of leaving me stranded by the side of the road.
