Now your door panels may have similar damge... winterpine kaya may gawa???? hmmmmm..... noenetheless, hello whoever they are, your technician should be trained or it will bomerang back.. freindly advice, those incharge of C5 casa units may have caused them.....peace man/.........

it is possible that they may have caused it. i agree because when i brought my car there for a paint job, i got it back with some defects in the back sensors. accdg to the warranty engr, i should bring it to winterpine because the alarm/sensor system is not mitsubishi's forte. so i did and to my surprise, accdg to winterpine, mits must have done something wrong after they returned the sensors because some of its pins were broken.

C5 casa is good at this... but i suggest you meet your lawyer..

I got the same rattle sound before and I was first suspecting dashboard too. Later I found out that the driver side arm rest (the one in the center with leather cover) is causing this. Try applying some weight on its top and check if the rattle disappear.

sir sa akin sa center console compartment ng dashboard yung cover o lid ba tawag dun? ( sa ilalim ng clock)

planning of selling my MS maybe nextyear pag nakaipon... naiinis na ko... mga minor lang naman pero sa sobrang dami nakakairita na... walang pinagkaiba sa 5year old na oto

Tanong ko lang, may steering wheel lock ba ang monty (nag lalock yung manibela pag tangal ng key)? Ayaw mag lock nung samin.

Sir here, i also experienced rattle sound on my dashboard, glove compartment and side panel seatbelt... pero pinahigpitan ko na sa casa, ok naman nawala yung mga rattle sounds... despite sa mga minor issues ng monty the best parin compare to our chevy suv...

hi guys, am newbie here.

just got a mitsu montero sport 4x4 manual trans. as soon as we drove out of the casa on the way home, i experienced engine stalling when i down shifted from 3rd gear to 2nd gear. At first i thought it was just a fluke but the problem occurs at least once when i'm driving it. The problem seems to be intermittent because it doesn't happen all the time.

I returned the unit to the casa (mitsu otis), the SA told me that they also did experience the stalling when they tested it, but they said that they could not locate the problem, seems that all the systems are running the way they should. so he said to me that they would try to adjust the clutch and observe if it would solve the problem.

After that the stalling problem was reduced though it still happens once in a while, particularly when we were driving in NLEX. after that the problem resurfaced again frequently. I brought it back to mitsu casa though the SA i was albe to talk to at the time told me that they still have a lot of backlog due to the typhoon Ondoy, and they might not be able to attend to it right away. Since its intermittent he asked if i could just bring it back on the 1st 1000 check up and will be dealt simultaneously during the periodical check up. its now just in 800kms, 200kms more before the first 1000.

Has anybody experienced the same problem? i wasn't able to back read the whole forum topic though. thanks and good day.

hindi ba nabaha yang unit mo? ang fuel system ba niya eh alang tubig yan ang dapat mong itanong sa kanila kasi kung minsan baka nalunod yan (wag naman sana) na inayos lang ng kasa kasi bago naman di masyadong halata ,kung minsan alam yan ng SA pero hindi sa iyo sasabihin hanggat di mo nabibili pero pag nakuha mo na sasabihin sa iyo katulad niyan na kung ano ano ang dahilan...
