Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[dr. d]

You cannot just shift from P to R, you have to press the deadman switch below the gear knob before you can move the lever. You cannot also start it if the gear is not at P. Eventhough it has no brake switch , almost all training manuls for driving AT always require you to press the brake pedal when changing gears from D R P vice versa, in complete stop.

so, either someone was mis-informed, or we are talking about a defective car?

So saan galing yung balita na you can shift P to R without stepping the brake pedal?

Page 14, same thread sir.

[dr. d]

..went to that page.
...read 'em all. twice or thrice, slowly.

conclusion: not everybody has the same written communication skills.

OT.

Pwede talaga mag shift without stepping on the brakes sa gen2 Monty 2009-2012 model. Sa VGT model(2012-onwards) lang na naka mesh grill nagsimulang maglagay ang Mitsu ng mechanism na kailangan naka-apak sa brakes before shifting.

As an answer to the SUA issue, Mitsubishi PH offered to install those mechanisms to older Monteros for free. Nabalita ito sa lahat ng media, ewan ko lang kung lahat pumunta at nagpakabit haha.

hindi ko ito na-hagip.
and i consider something of a wide reader.

Kasali yun dun sa una nilang offer na free check up lahat ng Montero sa mga casa.

i heard about the free check up.
i did not know, that it included an offer for installation of idiot-proof gizmo.

Ako din ... ang alam ko lang kasama nung libreng checkup na yun eh libreng sticker ... warning drivers to step on the brakes everytime they shift from P to D, N to D, etc. .... yun lang ang libre .... sticker. ... nothing lesss ... nothing more .... nothing else.

Lahat ng AT can shift from N-D and D-N without pressing anything.. even the brakes.. yung papunta ng R, P or 2, L need to press button or brake pedal (at least sa mga na drive ko na AT)

Sa monty po na 2009-2012(chrome grill) pwede mashift from P to kahit saan ang vice versa without stepping on the brakes. Basically, you can do anything sa shifter without stepping on the brakes.

Default behavior of a Filipino driver after an accident:


Kamot ulo.





Excuses are born out of failure.

[sean-archer]

Or better the vehicle to emit distinct sound if you are pressing the gas or the brake pedal? Or a confirmation voice to validate your action like, a voice warning "You are stepping on the gas pedal, do you wish to continue"
No vehicles in different make are desjgn alike, its the responsibility of the driver to read the manual , familiarize with the vehicle before driving it.

Hence there are vehicles "smarter" than the Montero, essentially because Mas madami nagkakamali na driver using this vehicle?

kawawa mitsubishi dito..... bagsak sales target nila sa montero....

ginagawa pa katatawanan.....

ituloy na kasi yung test parameters na napagusapan.... ano ba kinakatakot..... meron ba mabubulgar pag natuloy yun...

[StockEngine]

ang "kamalian" bow 🤡

If that is the case.. there goes the problem for monty and mitsubishi should address the design flaw..

I have a theory that these drivers involved in these SUA cases were holding the shift stick while in motion.. any jolts introduced by sudden brake or mere acceleration will make the shifter move.. if you rest your hand on the shifter, abrupt braking can move it to reverse.. when you press accelerator... SUA going reverse still holding the shift stick bacause of shock.. the force of impact will move the accelarator to drive then there you go again.. back and forth

Consumer Reports has a couple of guides on what to do in case of unintended acceleration happens to any car...



Note:

Pumping brakes when SUA is happening...will actually disable power assist braking...and aligns to what the driver of the montero involved in the recent accident...

Toyota's modified power assisted braking because of the SUA their models suffered from before. per CR

Kahit ung xwind na matic and old gen everest ganyan din setup, walang brake switch activated na shift lock solenoid sa gear lever, pero ala pa ko nakita nag viral sa sa FB nag SUA. Though of course iba ang gas / brake pedal setup nila vs monty and ecu and wiring na rin.. hehe..

May mga oto na need mo push shift lever if going from N to D and vv like the new everest.

^^This only applies to GAS engine cars since it gets its vacuum from intake manifold. Toyota USA = all gas powered.

Sa diesel engine cars like monty and others, di applicable yan. Kabaliktaran nangyayari, you actually get more braking assist since vacuum pump is connected sa engine, hence higher RPM, higher vacuum assist.


The 3rd gen monty has that feature na. It will cut power to engine if sabay mo inapakan gas ang brake. Also, a log will be recorded in the ECU of the event. My 2005 hyundai crdi actually has that feature already. Although, I hate it since during spirited driving, I always do left foot braking...


Merry Christmas!!!

Same with the current gen of the Grand Starex.. (TCI AT)

You can even pull out the key even if the tranny is in D.... But will not be able to start it.....
