Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

**FoundOnRoadDead** · June 16th, 2011 10:50 PM

IMHO, may " something" na nakapag provoke na mag accelerate yung montero..everytime na aapak tau sa gas pedal, kelangan natin mag exert ng effort para mapress yung pedal kasi may spring na kumokontra nung force natin na inaapply sa pedal para bumalik sa original position yun pedal..I dont think na mag accelerate ng basta basta yung sasakyan ng walang nakapag press ng gas pedal.

Mahirap aminin ang isang pagkakamali lalo na kung marami rami kang nadamage na property...

Tama. Unless na may mahanap silang problem sa ECU kasi electronically controlled ang throttle

Yup. Maraming possible scenarios. Ang makakapagsabi lang talaga eh yung naka experience. Syempre lahat ng casa i dedeny yan diba

ang tanging may alam lang sa tunay na nangyari ay ang Siyang Nasa Taas... wala naman pong aamin dyan ehh, mapa driver error or mechanical failure

pero sa akin lang po, i'm leaning more towards driver error...

possibleng ecu din problem..pero SG, hindi ba mag dedepende pa din yung computation ng amount ng fuel na i fefeed niya sa engine thru sa pag apak natin sa gas pedal?

IMO, we still "command" our cars whether to accelerate or not (regardless of the idle)..meaning ECU will not increase fuel injection unless we press the gas pedal...

kasi kung talagang may 50 years driving experience siya especially with automatics, alam nya dapat na ibalik agad sa "N" yung lever with matching maximum tapak sa brakes para stop agad. it was indicated that the montero still jerked forward a couple of times after hitting the tree, which means na naka-engage pa din sa "D" yung A/T lever...

Maraming pwede mangyari sa ECU. ECU causes the engine stalling of Theta II Tucsons. Pwede rin na ECU causes the unwanted hard accelerations of Camry and Lexus in USA. Haha. Di rin natin alam. Mahirap kapag electronics na ang mag-override sa human.

with regards to airbags, hindi talaga magdedeploy ang airbags.. airbags deploy within a certain speed, from What You Need to Know About Air Bags, DOT HS 809 575

"air bags are typically designed to deploy in frontal and near-frontal collisions, which are comparable to hitting a solid barrier at approximately 8 to 14 miles per hour (mph). Roughly speaking, a 14 mph barrier collision is equivalent to striking a parked car of similar size across the full front of each vehicle at about 28 mph. This is because the parked car absorbs some of the energy of the crash, and is pushed by the striking vehicle. Unlike crash tests into barriers, real-world crashes typically occur at angles, and the crash forces usually are not evenly distributed across the front of the vehicle. Consequently, the relative speed between a striking and struck vehicle required to deploy the air bag in a real-world crash can be much higher than an equivalent barrier crash."

Agree ako dito. Similar sa nangyari sa officemate ko, akala nia ang inaapakan nia break yon pala accelerator.
