2011 Mitsubishi Montero Sport [continued]

**111prez** · June 21st, 2011 10:27 AM

the jury is still out on the "sudden acceleration" issue for me

i would rather wait for the full, factual and objective report on the monty M/T incident

until then, IMHO, is all appears to be driver error

otherwise, if this was a widespread occurence, then more will be reported not just here in the philippines but also in other countries (australia, south africa, ukraine, south america etc) on this alleged manufacturing defect considering that the engine and transmission are all similar AND i doubt if mitsubishi can keep this under wraps that long (3 years or so)

until then, i am fully enjoying my monty, wooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have the budget, it is indeed a wise and safe move. It will make sure your turbo won't fail you for the length of its service.

just push the single button on the turbo timer, it will instantly shut down

+1 ako kay bikoy888
you can override the turbo timer, just turn it off.

My gls-v has. Or if this is not standard, maybe the clips came with the matting, not really sure as i did not really noticed it also until the matting that I bought from the parts has been installed in my unit/

the floor matting is available here in the philippines, check your dealer.

i check the flooring at the driver side and found two hook, maybe this is the area where we can attached the matting. i try later two have some picture of the hook.

This matting is what i have on my Monty about a month after i purchased my unit. They have been offering me this from the day that my loan was approved by the bank. This is from the parts department and not from winterpine.

for me driver error din,
lalo na if this is a M/T, driver should always start the car with handbrakes ON and in Neutral while stepping on the clutch pedal when starting...
kahit naka apak ka sa gas or mag wild rev engine nyan or topakin ECU or hindi gumana brakes pero hindi pwede mag move ang car..
ofcourse there is no way the car mag in gear ang M/T by itself

I am very satisfied with my Montero too

It could be that the two drivers involved probably has the same old school habit being mentioned here when one is used to driving carburetor type of vehicles. It may also be that there really are problems with their units but for the 2011 model, i am sure these has already been addressed with assuming there were any concerns to begin with/
