Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[glenn manikis]

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.

Ha? Left foot on the brakes? Maliban kay OB...

Sinong gunggong Ang ganun magmaneho? At baka sa 1M drivers Meron Lang isa..

. . . 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.

+1 agree with forensic investigation. but here's the rub-- to my knowledge, we don't have a governmental agency that has the competence to do such thing, not even the dotc. in that case, mitsubishi or anybody suing mitsubishi needs international forensic experts to investigate and prove this sudden unintended acceleration is due to the fault of the carmaker and not driver's error. this is beyond the field of dr. fortun i dare say.

Considering the diesel engine of the MS has been around since the late '80s... Why no reported SUAs in other Mitsubishi cars that used the same engine...

[car_fan]

Madami talagang dapat tignan para magkaron ng closure. Indpendent experts both in the mechanical and electronic/software side should be allowed access to mitsubishi records. An audit of how the Japanese engineers did the tests on the first accounts of SUA would be a good start. Then we'll be able to tell how robust their tests are. If we find that their test was just as simple as the test done by TGP, then we can pwede na tayo magtawa. Lol

errr... is that the complete story, or is there something else that you are not including in your narration, sir?

[Monseratto]

Congressman Colmenares will be holding a congressional hearing...he wants DTI to ban the sale of the MS until MMC can prove that their car is free from SUA... DTI says they have no capability to say whether SUA exist.

There are, at least, resource people available knowledgeable enough on the mechanical/electronic side to double-check Mitsu's findings.

For software, we'll have to defer to US-based investigative bodies. There are people here who know how to write code and how to program and re-program ECUs, but dissecting Mitsu's proprietary software would require the kind of expertise that we don't have here.

We are talking about AT cars aren't we?

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

I assume di yan nakapag drive ng manual trans. Did it once, not gonna do it again. Buti di ako na rear end.

Same thoughts, iba kasi yung bigat ng pang apak mo sa clutch kung sanay ka sa MT then shift to AT and use your left foot for the brakes? Maninibago ka talaga. Ako never tried it, never will

Still hindi imposible.

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

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

Race car driver do that when cornering, it's not advisable for a regular joe to do that. Use the right foot for AT cars, not unless your in your rally car.
