First normal ba na ang km reading at 58kms agad? Agent said because it came from Sta Rosa Plant.
Second I am very unhappy with the steering, its supposed to be brand new but I feel all vibrations in even roads.
Makalog at mangining, hindi stable. The feel is like a 10 year old vehicle na lahat ng feedback feel na feel mo sa manibela?

My agent said it could be tire pressure, I corrected all to 32 pero no change still wiggly.

Nakasakay naman sa truck yan pag dineliver sa dealer.... hindi naman yan self driven... malamang nagamit yan sa test drive...

Nope. Kadalasan dinadrive yan. Todo hataw pa sila. May iilang dealers lang ang sinasakay sa truck

Bro, bring it back to the CASA and have the wheels balanced, ganyan ginawa sa akin nung una nawala yung vibrations.

They use a trailer to bring the vehicles from the port to the main warehouse ... then it's usually driven to the dealership ... better to have odometer reading around 50kms ++ than something that's very low ... sometimes dealers disconnect the odometer when driven at far to dealerships ...

Got my everest last year sa ford makati, only had 1km total sa odo upon hand over. My SA told me it was on car carrier from batangas port to warehouse to makati. Using forscan, i verified that my odo is indeed not altered.

Got my civic RS yesterday at Honda Bul 6kms total upon hand over. Saw it personally being unloaded in their car carrier.

Bottomline, depends sa dealer kung may car carrier sila or wala. Pag wala, land trip yan. Good luck.

I did today, it is only 2 days old. The service personnel said ganun daw talaga because of the telescopic feature. I insisted to still document, but there is nothing they can do daw. Ganun talga. Driving home I am so annoyed feeling all the kalog from the steering even on paved roads, vibrations and kalog. nakakainis. As long as there is no sound, normal daw and kalog at vibrations.

Do you have the same experience with you 2017 monty 4x2? Yung older model daw di telescopic kaya stable.

Pacheck mo wheel balance. Kung ayaw galawin ng casa, pa wheel balance mo n lang sa labas...

And one more tip, wag ka na babalik ng casa na yan.. Hanap ka na iba sir.

Bro insist your right, that's the problem with most of the casa regardless if it's MITSU, TOYOTA or FORD. Mayayabang at walang alam mga SA, demand to speak with a service advisor supervisor or manager and let them know you're not leaving without talking to them. That's what happened to me with UMC Paco, if you're near UMC paco I can give you the contact number of their service manager and talk to him directly and let him know your problem. That's not an isolated issue but it's definitely is repairable. It's an easy fix, yung alog or knock feel let your service advisor know that there is a thread and/or postings in the internet about it and the technical service bulletin issued by MMPC, that will definitely help a lot especially if you've mentioned that you've spoken with other Monty owners who have experienced the same issue.

I know it's stressful dealing with the SA but it would be more stressful if you won't be able to get rid of the problem. You won't be able to enjoy your ride, believe me after I got rid of those issues with my steering that's the only time I was able to appreciate the power and smoothness of how our Monty drives in the city and especially in provincial roads during weekend getaways. I usually love using my T6 in our out of town trips but after I got the Monty I seldom use it anymore, both power delivery and ride I prefer using my Monty.
