i believe sa AT lang ito, kasi common sense sa MT na apakan ang clutch at shift to neutral... not unlike sa wrong education ng AT which is gas and break then neutral...

tapos things makes it worse dun sa mga pumipindot pa ng shift unlock button to shift from drive to neutral and vise versa, not knowing na di na kailangan pindutin yon... (my dad has 30 yrs driving exp from MT to AT, kaso he never read the users manual kaya he still presses the AT shift unlock button when shifting from D to N and N to D thus risking damaging the AT when accidentally slides lever to Reverse! that's the reason you dont have to use the shift unlock button, to prevent accidents/damage but its my dad, old dog can't learn new tricks)

I was at Honda Casa a few days ago helping a friend having an issue regarding a throttle flap (Jazz) resulting in sunden rise in RPM on start-up. Long story short Honda has a safety feature "daw" as per service manager so if the throttle body malfunction it wont suddenly accelerate, unlike in the Montero which Mitsubishi continues to deny has fault...

Same thing I always remind my wife when shifting. Another thing, I always remind her is always step on the brakes prior shifting - whether from P - R, N-R or N-D.

good to know what to do.... when it happens to you.....

question: if indeed totoo yung sudden acceleration. gaano kalakas yun para mapaabante yung montero habang naka-engage yung handbrake at P

The emergency brake alone is often not as strong as the engine of the car.

The rear brakes on these SUVs are not strong enough to keep the tires from spinning up once the torque converter locks, either, but the front brakes should keep them from moving if the foot brake is engaged.

Shouldn't happen. Would require the cable from the selector to snap, the speed governor to go haywire, and the handbrake cable to stretch out to disengage... all at the same time... though the engine could, eventually, overwhelm the emergency brake, since it isn't strong enough to stop the rear tires from spinning up when you lock them on the line.

Might have been shifted into P after the incident. Would like to know more.

Sir 170kphlang

based po sa personal experience ko sa monty namin, napatakbo ko po yung monty namin accidentally na naka-engaged ang handbrake 2 times pero, very short...(mane obra), kaya i-hold ng handbrake ang bigat ng monty pag nakapark ng incline,
dahil powerful enough ang engine ng monty, yes as per sir niky...kaya tumakbo ng monty kahit naka-engaged ang parking brake,
kahit few feet distance... (MT yun sa amin)


malalaman na naman po kung naka-engaged ang parking brake, first, to look the instrument cluster, kung hindi agad napansin, pag umusad ng kaunti, yung pagtigil ng sasakyan, very dramatic, at medyo kailangan ng force during acceleration.. depende rin sa adjustment ng handbrake, lalo sa MT, ramdam agad yung RPM drop w/o application of acceleration pedal clutch lang po ang gamit (clutch spot), sa AT naman di ko po sure kung kaya umusad ng monty pag nasa D position in a slow phase?! w/o depressing the acceleration pedal?! [never drive a AT monty]

Kung nasa P-ark position.... It will never run/accelerate kung doon naka-engaged position for AT!
bago po ako matuto ng MT, dumaan ako sa AT.. too young and too early (teenage years) 10yrs ago, parang na-exposed po ako sa "car ****" pero yun po, yung pinsan ko na nagturo po sa akin, simpleng instruction po, hindi po mag-accelerate sa Park at Neutral ang sasakyan pag AT, pero once na naka-drive, the vehicle itself will run...to prevent such unintended acceleration, engaged po lagi sa N or sa P position during stop/parking or traffic...very simple instruction pero serious common basic practice at common sense pag dating sa pag-operate ng sasakyan...

sa akin po personally, i never believe about the sudden unintended acceleration!! human factor is first reason, and lastly the technical issues will be the last.....

So far, I have not seen convincing first hand info and evidence proving beyond doubt that SUA happens to PROPERLY DRIVEN Monteros.

What I see are second hand info that is argumentative.

Just my opinion.

^^^ Tasteless article.

[brainmafia_310]

^^^makabili nga ng MS parang UAV. Remote control na lang need.

Hehehhe.

Baka pagtaga north Sudden Acceleration.

Dito kasi sa south ang nababalita Sudden Stop eh.

Nyahahaha

an old video related to this SUA thing...nakaka-suwa na, di mamatay-matay ang issue

Montero Sport Unintended Acceleration: Fact or Farce? - YouTube

ako SIA palagi nararanasan ko, sudden intended acceleration.

update: the car was on its way to the garage when the lady driver transferred from front passenger to driver seat. it was driven by her daughter in-law. gear is in park and handbrake is engaged. when seated, that's when the monty went berserk. gear was still in park and handbrake is engaged. it went full throttle. there is a video of it running wildly and the driver is depressing the brake to no avail. monty still went through. i'll try to acquire the video.

Sorry sir pero parang mahirap paniwalaan.. kse ang pagkakaalam ko.. pag AT tapos nasa park (P) ang shifter naka lock ang transmission at mawawasak yun pag pinilit patakbuhin.. unless na may problema rin yung display sa panel..

Kung mapapakita yung video na nasa park (P) yung shifter, naka engage yung handbreak at naka apak sa preno tapos umabante pa rin.. malamang mawala sa market ang monty..

[hachooro]

Pano po ma videohan? Cctv?

Like like ito chief monty_gtv heheh, ako din, ito ang na-expirience ko lalo na kapag nag kick-in na yung turbo hahah :D

[baludoy]

parang ganito ba nangyari? iyon nga lang hindi monty iyong nasa pic




seriously though, kuwentong kutsero na iyong mga istrorya na sui-sui daw. that allegation has been swirling around for several years now (it's even been disputed as seen in the vid before this reply) and no solid set of evidences have surfaced to back this claim

*** props to the owner of the pic

[Ry_Tower]

Naka-P at naka-handbrake pa aabante. BS!

Tama si arsen, mawawasak muna tranny mo bago mo mapa-abante yan, at kung overheat na AT mo, papano pa nga tatakbo. Mai lang tindi nila, sa halip na P, D yun. naduling lang siguro.

[kisshmet]

The transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheel in order for the vehicle to move

There is a way to keep that from happening (sudden acceleration), its known as redundancy (doubly safe). This condition is met when the gear is set to P & the handbreak is engaged

If I may share, this happened to me a few years back. I was driving our Strada 3.2 4x4 automatic which I believe shares almost the same pedal layout with the monteros. There was a traffic plastic barrier (you know, the squarish orange ones with water inside) pushed by strong winds crossing the street, particularly katipunan avenue right in front of Ateneo. I hit the brakes lightly but the car accelerated lightly and I hit the barrier causing some damage to my bumper and the barrier literally disintegrated at 60kph.

Upon careful analysis, I found out I have accidentally stepped on the accelerator pedal which I admit was my fault. Also as analyzed, I think it has something to do with the pedal placement of the Strada, it's not as spaced out as other cars because of the huge brake pedal so in times of emergencys, you could accidentally hit the accelerator.

It doesn't count as SUA, but mere human/driver error.
