ISSUES FOR THE MONTERO SPORT. Please post them here.

[easyman3]

Here are mine:
1. When you start the engine, you feel (more often than not) a thud as if the engine hits the chasis or the body.
2. When running with auto, the auto upshift gear is felt by a dragging feeling as if "nabitin" ang shift. Note, it is not the downshif (which is normal). but i do understand that the auto transmission will downshift if you push the accelator pedal down. I recommmned you to use the sportronic manual shift for GLS SE.
3. The engine is too noisy at 1500 rpm.
4. Do not put the standard rear spoiler. It will only create an acumulation of dirt on the rear mirror/window

Sa akin naman ok Gls se din so far maayos, tanging reklamo lang nang nasa likod malakas daw aircon giniginaw sila

[tidus1203]

Wala akong MS pero agree ako sa #3. Maingay yung makina ng Montero Sport kulang sa refinement... Yung neighbor sa tapat namin merong GLS 4X4 and nagigising ako lagi when they turn on the engine and warm it up...

*easyman3,
I'm having as well issue # 1. Minsan meron din ako naririnig slight "thud" sound upon starting the engine.. Parang sa baba galing eh. Napacheck mo na ba sa casa?

Sir kindly bring it to the casa na lang para sure ka.

Yes i did. the mechanic sid that they also notice one from the other but the owner did not notice. after fixing that unit, ako din daw. pinababalik sa akin dahil no time na when i went there.

btw, mali spelling ng Montero Sport sa title.




As for the engine noise, some deadening material and muffler *might* fix that.

for the #1, #2 & #3, mukhang sira yung sasakyan mo bro. Baka lemon unit. Papalitan mo sa Mitsu habang maaga. Tell them the Thai workers might be f*cking up the products because of the turmoil and social discontent. Same thing American workers do with American cars.

Good thing, di sya biglang tumitirik.

Ye i will ask for replacement.

ONE MORE PROBLEM, when i shift from Park to drive of Rear, the entire vehicle shakes na parang gustong tumakbo na. Not smooth at all. The technician says normal naman sa ibang unit na try niya. I dont know if true.

Sir, I got 1-3 issues when I got my brand new 3.2 Strada. At first akala ko sira ang makina, it's just the nature of diesel engines. I find the engine too noisy too.

After my first 1000km oil change, all these symptoms went away. Kailangan lang proper break in period like all diesel engines.

I hope so man. this is my first diesel car. i am not comfortable with it.

sir let us say na those who got lemon units will follow your advice...

should we just go to the casa and say we want to exchange the unit? or is there a better way of doing it so the casa will permit the exchange.

Who did some exchange before?

Thanks to all the replies.

i will keep you updated on the problem.

Sir let me know the outcome of yours. thanks

guys tanong ko lang ilang ba capacity ng ATF at gear oil ng Montero Sport 4x4

[easyman3]

to any MS owners, since yung third row aircon vents eh same as that found in the 1st gen forts, meron na ba nakapag-try yung nasa youtube sa thread na na-post dun?

ito yung usok eh pumapasok sa aircon ng third row. Kung tama pagkakatanda ko eh naka-on yung aircon tapos nagsindi sya ng mga incense sticks, tapos dun sya sa labas sa tapat ng tire sa ilalim, kitang-kita sa video na pumasok sa loob ng cabin yung mga incense smoke.

curious lang ako kung ganito rin sa MS, kasi kung naka-on yun habang nasa biyahe ka(lalo pag matagal) eh pwede pumasok carbon monoxide from the exhaust, na odorless, colorless at tasteless pa naman as well as other pollutants.

pero di ko encourage mga owners dito na i-try din nila kasi baka masira interior smell. kung may MS lang din ako or may friend ako na owner din eh sinubukan ko na para i-report din dito.

sana lang may maglakas loob or baka pwede ipa-test ng mga buyers sa SA nila para ibang Monty ang gamiting guinea pig.

Oh this is the culprit when i back read. The shirt inside my montero smells smoke after a few days. Not like my other SUV, even one month Caoat inside the car will not get smell like smoke.

I will test by not using the third row aircon for a while. i will post update after a week.

madali ang pagbili ng MS but if papalitan mo because of factory defect kahit magmakaawa ka wala mangyayari. try mo dyan sa MITSU Manila Bay na dealer kung hindi totoo sinasabi ko.

[rvdedios]

Medyo mas matindi ang naging sira ng MS ko. I posted on another thread. Yung clunking on deceleration nangyayari sa akin. It happens from 40kph to 30kph. Right at 30kph...with jerking and thud.

"...In December 2009 I got my Mitsubishi Montero 2010. In the last week of January 2010 I traveled to Angeles City. Nothing serious, went through Angeles traffic, visited a satellite office, parked in the basement, etc. Going back to Manila on NLEX I could not go beyond 60kph because I was hearing metal to metal grinding in the rear. Obviously this was a rear assembly problem. Diamond Motors confirmed that the differentials have failed. A month old but NEW car with a differential problem sounds crazy and extraordinary. It calls for a replacement.

So they fixed it. The problem was there was a lot of performance issues, clicking/tucking sound beneath (loose U-joint), shift shocks etc. after it was done. A lot of business days wasted going to and from the dealer. No loaner car given. It looks like they nailed it last month when the Montero that I drive everyday seems to be running smoothly except for the shift shock abnormality from time to time. It is always good if you know that Mitsubishi plant engineers (the chief and senior ones) do the work - a little quality there.

But one thing they never fixed was the annoying humming sound at 75kph to 90kph. It stops at 90. The sound is high pitched, high frequency so you can hear it with stereos on. It only goes when you press the pedal. I've been waiting for Mitsubishi Thailand responses because they "referred" it to them but still NO action. All research tells us that it is still a rear axle/differntial problem from the pinion to the rear wheels. The car is going to be 2 yrs old in 3 months.

Anybody having this problem? Advice? ................."

[blu76]

i agree, you must have gotten a lemon unit...balik mo sa casa

[Isuzoom]

kaya pala mahirap makabalik ang mitsubishi sa US dahil sa bad quality control nila...

[Horsepower]

Hindi naman siguro bad quality control. May margin of error talaga sa production so baka yung kay Easyman, isa sa mga na-error.

Under pressure din kasi sila na ilabas agad sa market ang pantapat nila sa Toyota Fortuner, KIA Sorento at Ford Everest which have been enjoying good sales.

Papalitan naman siguro yan ng mitsubishi.

Ngeks....nakakatakot tuloy bumili ng Mitsu MS. Ok pa naman sana yung 4x3 at Php1.3M. Na ayos na kaya ng Mitsu yung quality control issues ng kotse nila. Pinagpipili-an pa naman namin whether to buy the Mitsu MS 4x2 or the Toyota Fortuner na 2.7 VVTi.......Alin kaya mas ok.....

The quality control issues of Mitsu in general are long gone. That fact is now recognized worldwide, although people will still tend to link any lemons back to the previous issues as generalization, nakatatak na kasi sa isip yun e.

Kahit naman siguro Fortuner pa, posible pa rin na lemon sya. Depends on luck na rin ng buyer yan. So good luck on whatever you choose to purchase.

[batangmahal]

i think these issues appeared with the Strada as well, it might be good to compare notes with our Strada brothers (TSCP) out there

[gixxer_50]

Yes i did. the mechanic sid that they also notice one from the other but the owner did not notice. after fixing that unit, ako din daw. pinababalik sa akin dahil no time na when i went there.

Sir
May i know kung saan casa ito? I want my montero to be checked din for this issue. thanks
