Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[Djerms]

Kunwaring ma-sua, mabagal lang ang acceleration nyan. Makakareact agad. Hahaha

Hehehe yan pala ang advantage ng crosswind.

Pati tuloy asawa ko natakot na sa ASX. Laki pa naman ng discount. Takot sya dahil sa SUA at takot din sya mag kamali. Sanay kasi sa MT. Pati tuloy ako takot na sa AT at baka ma driver error. Lol

[dishcom]

really?

how can you tell?

May mga kilala akong binabalak ng bitawan MS nila. Sabi ko nga sa misis ko kung gusto niya kunin, ayaw din.

the SUA issue is pretty prominent in abscbn/dzmm. how is it in the other stations?

[Lew_Alcindor]

Just a thought.

Assuming these "alleged SUA" are a result of human error, how come most of the report involves a Montero?

Is it because there are more Monteros on the road than any of other types of SUV, hence the probability is higher? Probably not because there are thousands of Fortuner on the road also.

Is it because Montero owners/drivers are "dumber" than the rest? (Sorry for not having the right word to use)

Or is it in the design of the vehicle? Maybe the brake pedal is very close to the accelerator pedal, etc.

Or maybe a hardware/software problem?

Pag nakakakita ako ng montero... SUA agad NASA icip ko... Or left foot brake driver... As much as possible Iwasan ko na..

Sana bumagsak na resale value ng Montero MT to 400k. 2 of my credit cards offered me the best interest sa credit to cash for 5 years. May 60k ako diviidend ngaun to buy 4 sets of AT tires, 4 rota black rims saka 4 na westlake AT + lift.

Ganito lang sana model ang kunin ko for my Land Rover Wannabe Rig. Pero because of this. Makatsamba ako ng 2014 Montero MT. Syempre mas mura ang MT sa AT dba?






Bad trip na kase sa daan dun sa farm namin, yun barsngsy captain instead na ayusin yun unpaved road naglagay pa ng basketball court

Its in the design of the BRAKE pedal and the accelerator pedal (too close to each other). I have a 2012 montero and when I am wearing crocs slippers, there are few occasions that my right foot accidentally touch the accelerator pedal when I depress the BRAKE pedal. Lucky it is only slight touch and not fully depress like what happened to the white montero who almost killed the cat :bwahaha::bwahaha::bwahaha:

nonetheless, the only chance of me giving up my monty is if mmpc will replace it with 2016 model for free or give me extra 5 years free maintenance.

lalo na siguro montero ng driving school...

[jaypee10]

pag nakaka kita tuloy ako ng montero ngayon lalo na kung naka trapik at nasa likuran ko nag che change ako ng lane.pag naman naka tayo ako sa parking at may parating ma montero umiiwas din ako.lalo na kung babae ung nag mamaneho.

ang laki ng naging trauma sa tao ng mitsubsi montero..

pero kung may mag bebenta nga ng 400K
abay bibilin ko.he he..

[XTO]

Sarap gamitin Montero, always on the look out ang takot masagasaan

[Djerms]

Hindi na pala kailangan ng Montero ng malakas na makina kasi talagang papaunahin nalang para iwas SUA. :P

Haha, kanina sa slex pag lipat ko sa overtaking lane cguro mga twice ko na-encounter.. Parang give-way agad sila saken. Good times :D

Yeah isipin mo 400k for a MT. Eh mas mura pa ito kaysa getting a bare Jimny


to be customized like this




Tapos MT syempre di naman plagued ng SUA. But sira na Montero eh dahil sa Abs-cbn, eto yun tinatawag ko ng best buy opportunity times


--------


The thing is pano kung mag stay na ang Montero sa 400 to 500k mark. babagsak din kaya ang Used Jimny, crv, escape etc coz there will be an instsnt flood of cheap Monteros in the market. All 79000 units of them sold in the Phil. market

Pag nag 200k jimny 2014 MT, eh dun na ako

Guys, not sure if realistic, but our company driver went to a shop due to malfunction of the company car that need to be fixed. I showed him the video of the Montero incident shared by TGPH, then he recalled that there was an instance when he was at the shop, there was a Montero also being repaired and the story was, it just turn on and hit something, no driver inside, but the driver was just remotely opening the door, per shop, the remote control (supposed to open the door) turn on the engine? As I have said, its only a story from our company driver, but it was on the shop repaired due to as per the story I hear. Is there a possibility that the said control can trigger the engine of Monty to start?

parang terminator 3 - rise of the machines lang.. parang hindi ata pwede yun sir.

Sa mga nagsasabi na too cramp ang pedals ng montero. No its not. Mas madali pang magkamali sa mga mini cars like mirage, eon, picanto, etc etc..

's why i got a wigo AT.. nag-babanggan ang paa ko sa MT.. but i can not seem to confuse the gas with the brake pedal in the AT.
perhaps, a combination of ergonomics... brake & gas pedal height.. driver seat height/design.. center console.. steering wheel..
