Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[confused shoes]

nakaflasher light siya nung makita ko. actually i was on the opposite road with island separating us. kaya kitang kita ko mula unahan nya katabi ko lang sya pareho kami nasa tabi ng island. pero di umaalis ang monty pero yung nasa unahan nya umarangkada na tapos bigla na lang itong umatras. bumusina yung nasa likod na suv na paparating pero deretso lang ang atras ng montero hanggang bumangga yupi yung likod ng monty. may mga cone doon sa lane nya kaya palagy ko dun na siya inabutan ng biglaang sira kasi kung hindi sudden yun dapat sa shoulder ng coastal siya nagpark.

Kung may problema si Monty bakit noong GO ang nasa harap saka pa lang umatras? It looks the Monty driver shifted to R then hit the pedal. If you were at the back makikita mong nakailaw yung reverse lamp. Kaya bumubusina yung nasa likod nya.

From the sound of it, that's exactly what happened. Driver shifted to "P" at the light, thought he was in "N" and accidentally shifted into "R" when the green light came on.

Park light then flasher light? You mean hazard lights. You were at a stop light and the other car was on the opposite lane yet you were beside each other. The car ahead went forward then suddenly reversed. Huh?

Don't think Mitsubishi has a fix for stupid drivers. Not yet anyway.

sorry po for the term hazard lights daw po pala ang tawag doon. baka nga malamang human error lang. cge po, yun lang po naman ay nakita ko from the outside so baka nagkamali yung driver. peace po.

then why so quick to jump into this......" i dont think its human error since the montero was at park light so the driver could have sensed something is wrong with his montero."

and what would mitsubishi look into? stupid drivers, or stupid morons who keeps on reviving a dead issue!!!

asus propaganda lang yata yang sua na yan,,ako nga naapektohan nyan, muntik na kami mag-fort dati.then isa sa mga reasons kaya manual ang kinuha namin dahil sa lintek na sua issue na yan, gusto ko rin sana noon matic eh, ngayun ngalay tuhod ako.

Same reason tyo sir Wyeshua... Kainitan ng issue ng SUA nung 2011 tas kakalabas lang ng VGT un GLX-V na lang din kinuha ko. Ngayon kakaingit wala nmn SUA sa mga ksma ko sa MSCP dami pang features ng GLS-V at GTV nila

Ano ba talaga nga? Parang duda ako e, pede din naman kasing sabihing sudden acceleration para ma vindicate ang mga nabangga )

Yup, pa-SUAy na palusot.

What do you mean of "it's park light was on"? Did you see it lit? Meron bang umilaw sa bandang likod ng montero? Yun ba ang kulay puti na light sa may bandang rear bumper ang umilaw na sinasabi nyo na park light?

Parang wala naman yata sasakyan na merong park light na visible from outside. What you saw maybe is the REVERSE LIGHT. Which only means somebody shifted the lever to reverse.

One more thing, good practice ba na eh engage sa park ang lever when stopping at an intersection waiting for the go signal?

If the lever is shifted to N during temporary stop in an intersection, one click down it will be D. Step on the accelerator and the vehicle will move forward.

If the lever is shifted to P during temporary stop in an intersection, one click down it will be R. Step on the accelerator and boom... bangga ang nasa likod.

And one more thing, sa mga pareho kong naka matic, you should be familiar of your stick shift, when to use your shift lock.. P to R requires you to use shift lock but N to D dont. And one more, you should always depress brake pedal while shifting. In this case, if SUA is true then ur safe, at least. You'll have time ti shift to N in case your car wildly revs while your in R or D, which again doesnt require you to use shift lock.

Inconclusive naman yan. Eh ano sabi nung driver? Nung kasama niya. Na-check ba ECU kung may fault sa system na nangyari?

[iceblueyes]

Mag bukas ka na ng thread on Fortuner SUAs, herherher

Inside the service center? Wonder what country that's in. Still falls within the possibility of the driver error / pedal trapped in carpet situation, if the vehicle was coming in from the parking lot.

-

There's one vid, however, in the suggested video box linked to that one that shows a classic mechanical failure:

Unintended acceleration of the car - YouTube

That's true SUA. Not coming straight from a stop. No change of foot position on the pedals or shifting of feet to trap the pedal (driver already knew he was on the gas, as he was accelerating at the time) and no shifting. The car just suddenly went berserk.

[EVO-V]

This was last year. Montero was cruising southbound. Attempts to stop failed and the driver was forced to use railings and eventually steer it underneath the overpass.

Driver is a septuagenarian with other elderly persons in the same car.








At this point we would need to have a measure of comparison against other vehicles as to why the Montero is being singled out. At the very least insurance companies should be concerned.

The automotive press seems to lean towards whomever advertises with them.

human error lang in my opinion, tama yung sa post sa previous pages na malamang gas naapakan tapos nung nag surge na diniinan pa lalo thingking they're stepping on the brakes. marami rin naman monty dito sa amin sa iloilo wala namang sua na incident, merong monty dito nag sua, nung dumating mga pulis para mag investigate lasing ang mokong . pwede naman siguro pag me presence of mind pa yung driver just flick it to n mula sa d kung nag sua nga, or if they claim na they're steeping on the brake na atleast kahit d mag stop yung monty babagal siya sabay flick to n or twist the key off

[whitemonty2014]

why only Monty? how about siamese twin Strada, bakit wala ni isa? hmmm..
