Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[CVT]

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.

Corollary to that bro.,- sadly, there's also a saying that if you repeat the same *story* over and over again,- no matter what,- it is perceived as "true" by the storyteller him/herself and the audience....

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.

meron daw bro pero di sinabi kung ilang percent bago mag-trigger.

Uu nga, may epekto talaga yung over and over again na story. Isipin mo na lang, pagbaba mo ng parking area sa basement ng SM, nasa likuran mo Montero, tapos, pag liko mo going left, nakasunod pa si Montero, sa right side mo, merong paparating na montero, tapos, going to another turn, hinde ka maka proceed dahil sa unahan, merong monterong lalabas sa kanyan pina parkingan, kung walang SUA stories, ang maisip mo, wow, pinalibutan ako ng magagarang sasakyan, ngayon, wow, kinikilabutan ako.

This Montero hoolabaloo is just a made up expose of Noli De Castro and his fat daugther Kat De Castro.

Both father and daughter went to a Mitsubishi dealer to purchase a 2015 Montero. The veteran tagalog News Reader ceaselessly asked for a buy 1 get 1 free promo of the Montero, which was unfortunately not being offered by Mitsubishi.

They ended up not buying the SUV because De Castro did not get what he wanted.

The next day, De Castro on DZMM made a false expose (with JR's infamous driver stupidity Montero CCTV accident) regarding SUAs.

To shut this bastards mouth, I suggest Mitsubishi should give him a brand new Montero unit now. He will soften his attack and save Mitsubishi a lot of trouble.

Just saw this from TGP comments.

kahapon along macapagal,dami ko kasabay na montero meron sa harap at likod. ayoko ma paranoid dahil sa issue ng sua pero minsan naisip ko na lang "sana manual yung mga katabi kong montero"

Question lang.. Mapapatay mo ba ang makina manually habng tumatakbo ka??
Ok b kung tumatakbo ka downhill... Put the gear on Neutral... Then off the engine... And put the key into ACC position... So that the battery will operate on power steering and break... In this case free wheeling ka downhill... Anyone tried?

Never swift off the engine... downhill pa yan .. for sure steering wheel mo matigas at break mo matigas din... katapusan nyan is accident.

Funny when the Bias Network wonders why the MS 2nd hand market is having problems, when they are the main reason.

Halos araw araw lumalabas ng balita sa mga alleged SUA... Same story, same profile of a SUA victim (elderly this time with medical problems).

The SUA victims group proposed a "win-win" situation where MMPC will "repair" older MS by installing the new features of the 2016 MS. Is that a joke???

Tama yung MMPC, what is the use a recall when the DTI don't know what is wrong with the MS.

First off... NEVER TURN YOUR ENGINE OFF GOING DOWNHILL. Modern cars use either no fuel or an infintesimal amount of fuel coasting downhill in gear.

Secondly, the battery won't be able to run EPS and the vacuum pump continuously, there will be some loss of assist. (Also, the Montero Sport doesn't have EPS, so the point is moot... the battery will not run hydraulic power steering).

-

On the bright side, if you're experiencing SUA, you can turn the engine off while it's revving. You will still have enough assist left in the brakes for one stop. You'll have to be ready to wrestle with the car, however.

If you want to die then the answer is yes.

To save gas.

Which is stupid, because all modern cars cut the fuel injectors when you're coasting in gear.

I've gotten up to 25-30 km/l from my CR-V going downhill, coasting with the engine on.

Granted, you can do even better with the engine off. You can also wreck your car the moment a tricycle pulls out of a side road, or when a bus coming up the other way tries to overtake around a blind bend and you don't have enough braking power to stop.

Mapapatay mo pero this is dangerous, biglang titigas ang steering at brakes dahil yung pump niya ay connected sa ikot ng makina hindi sa battery (hydraulics). Di ko alam kung sa EPS same din.

As per manufacturer, not recommended to put the gear on Neutral if the vehicle is in motion specially sa mga AT, sa MT pwede pa siguro.

Masisira lang AT mahal pa naman pagawa neto.

Gusto lang yata ng mga victims ma-upgrade yung ride nila for free. (joke joke).

Seriously, is such an "upgrade" even possible? Assuming it is, how much will it cost MMPC? 20k per vehicle? Assuming 60k cars will be "upgraded" that's a whopping 1.2 Billion pesos. Huwaaaw.

Imbestigahan na ito ng Senate under 2 committees.
