Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[niky]

Wala raw bang fail-safe in case low batt ang ECU? Dapat it should halt or switch-off the vehicle if not enough power supply to the ECU. If it occurs while the vehicle is running, it should decelerate then stop. Then, the vehicle can be moved mechanically.

I've had ECUs with defective power supply. (engine swap)

I would have been very happy if the car would have actually accelerated at the time instead of leaving me stranded by the side of the road.

This Montero hoolabaloo is just a made up expose of Noli De Castro and his fat daugther Kat De Castro.

Both father and daughter went to a Mitsubishi dealer to purchase a 2015 Montero. The veteran tagalog News Reader ceaselessly asked for a buy 1 get 1 free promo of the Montero, which was unfortunately not being offered by Mitsubishi.

They ended up not buying the SUV because De Castro did not get what he wanted.

The next day, De Castro on DZMM made a false expose (with JR's infamous driver stupidity Montero CCTV accident) regarding SUAs.

To shut this bastards mouth, I suggest Mitsubishi should give him a brand new Montero unit now. He will soften his attack and save Mitsubishi a lot of trouble.

Just saw this from TGP comments.

kahapon along macapagal,dami ko kasabay na montero meron sa harap at likod. ayoko ma paranoid dahil sa issue ng sua pero minsan naisip ko na lang "sana manual yung mga katabi kong montero"

Question lang.. Mapapatay mo ba ang makina manually habng tumatakbo ka??
Ok b kung tumatakbo ka downhill... Put the gear on Neutral... Then off the engine... And put the key into ACC position... So that the battery will operate on power steering and break... In this case free wheeling ka downhill... Anyone tried?

Never swift off the engine... downhill pa yan .. for sure steering wheel mo matigas at break mo matigas din... katapusan nyan is accident.

Funny when the Bias Network wonders why the MS 2nd hand market is having problems, when they are the main reason.

Halos araw araw lumalabas ng balita sa mga alleged SUA... Same story, same profile of a SUA victim (elderly this time with medical problems).

The SUA victims group proposed a "win-win" situation where MMPC will "repair" older MS by installing the new features of the 2016 MS. Is that a joke???

Tama yung MMPC, what is the use a recall when the DTI don't know what is wrong with the MS.

So the allegedly drunk idiot was obviously speeding in a intersection...unang isip naman ng mga tao "SUA yan".

lahat naman ng accident ngayon involving monteros ay SUA issues na kaagad perception ng mga tao tulad na lang yung GLX montero na sumalpok sa security gate ng camellla molino, lahat ng tao na nakakita nung incident ay SUA ang dahilan.

Gusto lang yata ng mga victims ma-upgrade yung ride nila for free. (joke joke).

Seriously, is such an "upgrade" even possible? Assuming it is, how much will it cost MMPC? 20k per vehicle? Assuming 60k cars will be "upgraded" that's a whopping 1.2 Billion pesos. Huwaaaw.

Question lang.. Mapapatay mo ba ang makina manually habng tumatakbo ka??

First off... NEVER TURN YOUR ENGINE OFF GOING DOWNHILL. Modern cars use either no fuel or an infintesimal amount of fuel coasting downhill in gear.

Secondly, the battery won't be able to run EPS and the vacuum pump continuously, there will be some loss of assist. (Also, the Montero Sport doesn't have EPS, so the point is moot... the battery will not run hydraulic power steering).

-

On the bright side, if you're experiencing SUA, you can turn the engine off while it's revving. You will still have enough assist left in the brakes for one stop. You'll have to be ready to wrestle with the car, however.

If you want to die then the answer is yes.

Mapapatay mo pero this is dangerous, biglang titigas ang steering at brakes dahil yung pump niya ay connected sa ikot ng makina hindi sa battery (hydraulics). Di ko alam kung sa EPS same din.

As per manufacturer, not recommended to put the gear on Neutral if the vehicle is in motion specially sa mga AT, sa MT pwede pa siguro.

Masisira lang AT mahal pa naman pagawa neto.

i have not consciously attempted it.
but it did happen... for some reason, my diesel engine died.
i lost brakepower and steering ability.
'twas the third scariest moment in my driving life.

my second scariest moment, was when i almost slammed into a stalled, un-warned container van in slex.. too sleepy..

and my scariest moment, was when my mitsu car went SUA. fortunately, i was able to step on the second brake pedal... the one to the left of the first brake pedal i was stepping on..

even coasting downhill on neutral is dangerous.. we lose engine brake ability and some amount of maneuverability.
