But only when the steering is in full left turn.
Good News: Had my 5,000km PMS, complain about the problems mentioned. what they have done was re-torque the stability bar, well thats what they say they did. loosen it up first and re-torque it. and until now no THUG sound. and no veering to the right, just what i expect for a brand new car. it only veers left or right depending on the slope of the road like others mentioned here. so for me case closed. hope this will help others. and now no more regrets on getting this monty. thanks.

Saang Casa branch nyo po pinagawa to?

hi Sir.. i was supposedly on schedule lately at Diamond Greenhills.. but the Mechanic who will do the allignment will return * 4pm pa.. so left and i made an appointment on tuesday next week in regards with the same issue.. i hope they can fix mine.. coz it's really bad especially when * 100Kph. i will also raise the issue of the Slight Thug sound when making U-turn or maneobra.. Really disappointing for a brand new car.. i hope they can fix the problem.. very hassle going back to the Casa wait for a couple of hours and they will tell you to come back again because they cannot accommodate your appointment.

Good day to all, we just got our 3 day old montero 2016 premium and have steering issue as well since first day. It veers to the right, sobrang lakas kahit 30 to 40 lang ang speed ramdam na agad. I told my SA right away and brought the unit to casa. They prioritize our monty and did wheel alignment, then we tested our unit afterwards pero meron pa din at first attempt. Then, they called the lead mechanics, 3 na sila gumawa at nag wheel alignment. Then road test again, ayon ok na. Problem solved! Heads up to casa for working overtime until 6pm just to fix the problem. Ako nalang ang nasa casa that time watching the unit to be fixed. Our monty is in perfect condition now

did you also feel the Thug sound or Thug feel sa manibela when doing U-Turn or Hard turns or yung kapag kakanan ka or kaliwa na medyo uphill? thats another common issue din kasi sir na di pdin maresolve..

The "thug tug" sound as per Thai forums is normal. This is because of the collapsible steering column. Not sure if it's really normal.

Sir I did not notice any thug sound on the steering since we got our monty last week. Only issue was veering to the right and was fixed immediately. Hopefully wala na maging issue
