Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[niky]

Gated shifters dont really have shiftlocks, right? Does the Fortuner have a shift lock? Gated Benzes don't.

No shift lock. You can shift a Fort straight into reverse at speed. Only the gates keep you from doing so.

fortuners have shift lock, you cant shift when engine is off unless you press the shift button.

Odd. Yung 07 Prado namin meron atang shift lock, even if it uses a gated shifter. AFAIK the brake pedal must be pressed in order to shift.

A Prado is an international product. In Europe and the US, the shift-lock is a necessity. In the ASEAN, not so much.

The Vios and the Forester also have this. A button on the console unlocks the shifter if the engine is off.

Those without gates like the old Lancers and Galants have a button on the side of the shifter to move from P to R and IIRC R to N. They can be shifted from N to D and vice versa without pressing the button.

Ah... read again... yes... you can't shift when the engine is off, but you can shift into any gear when the engine is on without having to press a button...

See above post.

And neutral to drive and vice versa shifts in most new cars dont require you to press a button too. Just slide the shifter. Thats how it is on my yota and nissan also. In traffic i just flick it in and out of drive.

Now i'm scared to ride our montero.. Nangyayari pa ba ito sa GLS V? Can you give me some tips on what to do if this happen to me? Thanks

Read back, start with page one. Yan tip ko sa'yo.

Or just buy the ranger, mukhang idol mo naman eh. http://tsikot.com/forums/ford-cars-t...1/index63.html

*bank employee. Sir do you have picture of the incident?

[yg09]

Sua, nangyari as akin yan. Las year sa garage, yung fieldmaster binangga sa vios. Bagong gising ako, imbes na brake, accelerator naapakan ko.

Kakabili lang ng 2012 fortuner dsl 4x2 this month. Napansin ko mas malakas ang acceleration/ makina ng aking 2010 Montero sport 4x2.

IMO,, maraming di sanay sa montero acceleration.

[skybison]

me magnanakaw bang umaamin na kawatan sila?

SUA claimants: find same incident with Thailand users!!!!

or try this - left foot at the brakes, floor the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
Kun napaabot mo sa 3-4k rpm yan without shutting down the engine - that's something.

also, you can only start your engine on P and N positions.

I had a recent experience of SUA not on a Montero but a Fortuner, even stepping on the brakes couldn't bring the car to a halt, luckily, there was no nearby car in front of me, I put the transmission in neutral and put on the brakes to finally slow it down. At first, I was worried that there was something wrong with the car since it was submerged in the recent flood (the carpet was wet, but no serious damage), but upon testing, I found out that the accelerator pedal got stuck on the carton that I recently used to temporarily replaced my floormats since carton does a good job of absorbing water. I tried it several times with the engine off, and the pedal got stuck twice. Moral of the story? improper placements of floormats can lead to SUA.

Kala ko technical problem yung nangyari,fault mo naman pala.

[dct]

pag sabay apakan ang brakes and accelarator, mas malakas ang brakes ah

[wei]

Indeed sir, I'm quite relieved to find out that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. It would be troublesome if its a technical issue since I'll always be nervous when driving it.

And hindi na kaya pang mag-rev, mamatay makina. ;)

[jess25strada]

sir mahina talaga brakes ng fortuner compare sa monterosport.

subukan mo sir. step on the brake using your left foot, then step on the gas using your right foot, lagay mo sa drive

medyo aandar pa din yun auto. then observed kung gaano kahina brake ng fortuner compare sa monterosport.

I agree na mahina talaga brake ng fortuner 3.0 pero pag medyo nagamit mona sya at medyo umiinit saka molang maramdaman na lumalakas brake nya

Uht uh.

I do drag-strip testing on vehicles as part of my job, and both the Fort and Monty will stay perfectly still if you have the brakes held down and the gas pedal to the floor. Neither have enou torque to overwhelm the admittedly puny brakes.

The old Ranger AT will spin the rear tires up... But it won't move. It'll create a noxious cloud of smoke, but it won't move.

hi sir what rpm range pwede brake torque launch ang montero vgt AT, tnx

Whatever RPM it will hold with the brakes down.

All torque-converter automatics have a "stall" rpm at which the torque converter cannot accelerate anymore while the wheels are stationary. This is usually between 2000-3500 rpm. Most diesels will stall at 2000-2500 rpm.

I don't suggest you do this often. It builds up heat in the transmission. Heat that shears the molecules of the transmission fluid, making them less capable of protecting your torque converter and gears from mechanical stress and friction. If you take your AT to the track to drag race, you should replace the ATF at the next oil change, whether or not it's time to do so.
