Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[renzo_d10]

Ehhhhhhhhh. No comment.

Just hoping everyone's safe though.

Sayang yung benz.

[kapitanaris]

Nabasa ko na yan. Based sa investigation, mukhang drivers fault. Naapakan sabay gas at brake, eh crdi, talo brakes!

It was in a forum before. I forgot it na.

Hndi man totoo yan.

[dr. d]

i can not imagine effectively pressing equally on both gas and brakes using one foot... unless the guy is a duck.
it would appear to me, that one pedal will be pressed more than the other.

Doc alam ko sa racing school tinuturo yun how to use just a foot to press simultaneously break and gas pedals. It requires a lot of practice so you can feather the pressure.

I haven't tried it though, di naman ako nangangarera

They do this heel-toe thing with MT cars using their right foot, heel on the gas pedal and tapping the brakes with the toes. This is usually done when passing thru corners at high speeds. Some new MT cars have launch modes where you put the gear on first, step on the clutch, press the gas pedal and rev to a certain rpm, then let go of the clutch to launch the car hard.

With an AT, you can launch a vehicle with a brake-torque step (step hard on the brakes, set tranny to D or S, floor the gas pedal up to the torque peak rpm, then release the brake pedal to launch the car). You have to consider though if driving a traditional AT, DCT, or CVT as they have different launch characteristics.

Meron brake override function ang Monty, pagsabay maapakan brake masusunod.

Sinabi mo pa sir

Pilit tinatago-tago yan ng Mitsuboshi sir sa totoo lang.... Madami ng nangyaring ganyan.

Wika nga ng driver nila nanay (mother-in-law), nang tinanong daw niya ito sa Mitsubishi habang pinapa-regular maintenance niya ang Monterosport nila nanay sa casa, eh puros wala daw silang alam sa mga ganyang pangyayari

After several years, this is my first post again hence may no longer aware of the current policies and guidelines of this forum.

Anyway, can somebody redirect me to an existing tread with the subject above? Sorry again, dont know how to search.

I am currently an owner of Montero 4x2 and this blog Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents is bothering me since my wife is using the car. Can somebody validate or confirm it these montero accidents are true or just a hoax to discredit montero users?

you can read about this incident and the report/evaluation of mitsubishi in the forums/internet and you can make your own evaluation/judgment on the matter.

however, as a monty owner, it does not bother me since, IMO, after reading the discussions on this, going over the data on the incidents versus sales of units, lack of incidents on the same engine and tranny in other countries where the same is sold and from my own simulation, this is a non issue worthy of any anxiety/bother.

just my two cents worth, when reading about this, just be sure to separate the grain from the chaff.

IMHO, there are too may chaff out there

Sir,

As a montero sport owner i am very happy with my unit, in fact before this issue, i have had no problems with it.
But i am not really into the mechanics of a car, sadly all i know is how to drive my ride and enjoy its features, so when issues like these arise i have no idea how to analyze it technically.
I DO NOT WANT TO SELL MY CAR but i am bothered with this sudden acc issue.
Maybe you can help me decide or make a judgement with this issue, i only have two questions;
i have heard many comments, that compared to the number of units sold only a few (less than .oo2%) have had this issue, does that mean it is still possible it can happen to my unit but the odds of it are very very very low? or do you think all those who posted on the blog are making up this issue and there is no possibilty this sudden acceleration can happen to my unit ever unless, i myself make a human error (e.g step on gas instead of brakes)
thank you.

Hi guys, to be honest this thread got me worried coz both my sister uses their montero on a daily basis both are matic, one is GLS and the other one is a GTV.

Feeling ko lang naman ito ha. Kung rampage talaga yun sudden acceleration dapat mitsubishi had done something about it na pero based sa numbers compared to the total unit sold, sobrang liit yun percentage. My theory is this, been reading montero threads here for quite some time na. I noticed na yun reprogramming of montero sport ecu is done every PMS. If you guys will notice na most of the monty having this issue was after their 5k PMS. As exPlained by one of the forumer here stating that his monty was attach to a laptop to do some diagnostic test and the engine revs by itself wihout anyone inside the unit. Hindi kaya may bug sa program ng diagnostic test nila? Wih the bug now sa program ng ECU, this might lead to this sudden acceleration issue.

Maybe we can also narrow the culprit. Kung may bug sa program dapat lahat na monty undergoing sa PMS will experience this but only a few do experience this. So feeling ko lang na hindi lahat na dealership has this bug sa program nila for the diagnostic test. Maybe there is a single dealership na using a program with a bug that causing this mayhem. Kasi sabi ng fellow forumer na laptop gamit in doing the test, kung laptop puedeng ma edit yun program using the laptop unlike kung consult machines/ box where in reprogram na siya at there is no way to alter the program.

I just told my family to be aware at all times, if this happens put it to nuetral immediately and kill the engine by switching off the ignition sabay handbrake.

Kung nag-wiwild ang engine dapat talag turn-off the engine esp kung starting up pa lang. Kung umaandar naman, put it in P. I hope malaman na talaga yung problem nung 16 (hindi kasama yung bigalng sumusulpot lang at first post at dito agad, kaduda-duda yan unless may pics).

Madali mag-kuwento eh. Pics dapat.
