Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[Syuryuken]

Kung puro montero kahit driver error - that means may flaw sa design di ba? Kung may flaw sa design why can't MS just go and solve it to stop accidents? if monteros are risking peoples lives - gaano kahirap ba isolve yun? They made so much money with the sales of Monteros in the Philippines.

sakto brader! ang hindi ko maintindihan bakit yung ilang montero owner todo depensa.

basta yung MT hindi apektado ng SUA driver error man yan o hindi

It depends on what the flaw is.

If it's an electronic or mechanical flaw, then yes, they have to do the recall.

If it's driver error. No. There are thousands of drivers who have no problems driving the MS.

If it's floor mat entanglement, as they claim in some cases, then there is the possibility of a class action suit if it's proven Mitsubishi knew about the danger of mat entanglement and did nothing to warn the dealers or stop the dealers from offering free floor mats that were out of spec.

If it's floor mat entanglement by mats that customers themselves installed, there is limited liability for Mitsubishi if it's proven that they did not warn customers sufficiently against installing heavy aftermarket floor mats.

What's really needed is for the DTI to call in experts for forensic investigation. All they did was accept Mitsubishi's own conclusions on the case. At the very least, an audit of the findings and a recommended plan of action would go a long way to laying the case to rest, whether for or against Mitsubishi.

Question, is it possible for rust to form on the fuel on injectors due to poor/questionable fuel quality thus leaving it in an "on" position delivering fuel to the engine?

It was just a random thought I had as the Montero tends to encounter CEL issues due to rust formation in the fuel system? Our had rust formation on the fuel neck, others I personally know had rusting inside the tank. Is it possible for rust to form after the fuel filter?

I am just asking as this issue is of course a valid concern. I lean more towards driver error more than anything else, but that 1% chance that it could be happening is of course still a concern.

To add as well, the pedal positioning of the Montero (brake pedal and accelarator) is on the close side but not too close that would make it indistinguishable though. Some fringe cases are likely to be incorrect pedal application because they are personally not used to such clearances if you ask me. If you compare pedal position of the Fortuner vs Montero, the Fortuner is more distinct while the gap between the brake and accelator of the Montero is about 2" only where my foot can only slide almost halfway while still being on the accelerator pedal and it is already hitting the side of the brake pedal.

Kung sa AT yan lang nangyayari. Posible may mali sa design pero hindi pwd tangalin ang driver error.. except na lang siguro kung banga na nag rerev parin si MS. Sa 97 sana may isa man lang naka dashcam. Para marinig at makita natin nangyari,

Pati narin 2nd hand market ng montero. Baka bababa resell value nito. Ito ang concern ng ibang montero owners

I know a few A/T drivers, right foot on the gas. Left foot on the brake. Kapag rattle ka na... Wala na.

Also a few manual transmission drivers na Hindi sanai sa automatic. Sa toyota revo A/T namin, upper half brake means release clutch. The car goes even faster on a downhill. Press Brake harder and you get the car stoppped

We just need some time to read, learn and understand.

*Dr. d
I was simply stating that I drive auto trans. cars with my right foot on the gas and my left foot on the brakes in reply to glenn saying thats "gunggong". I also asked whats wrong with that. I don't see where the confusion is

Bro meron talagang driving technique na left foot breaking. Hindi ito uncommon sa mga race car drivers.

driving with left foot on the brake is a very rare case. but i believe on this because our CEO is driving his car with left foot on the brake.

Sir nasa kevinworld ka... parang Tom's World lang...

Dba pag nagdrive yung mga nasa arcade nakatapak pareho ang paa kadalasan.

The TGP post and other investigation already nullified the SUA myth. Kung yun thourough na ang testing pero hindi pa din maniwala yung iba, then whatever we say here will not change their mind.

La ka naman talaga mapapala sa mga fanbois.

But one thing I know is yung puwede mo ishift to D ang AT without stepping on the brakes opened up chances for accidents. But lahat naman siguro tao dito tinuruan na always step on the brakes diba. Kaya wala dito naSUA eh. So unintended pa ba or nataranta lang? Hahaha
