ha ha ha.... funny things they always blaming the brake not working and the same time experienced sudden acceleration. mmmmmm.... so that's the answer, stepping on accelerator instead of brake! i think most of this drivers don't know how to use automatic transmission. always from start up engine encountered sudden acceleration. maybe because they like to rev up the engine (warm up the engine) and thought the knob shift in neutral position but he/she accidentally shift in drive position. so, driver panicked. ha hay..... kawawa naman mga may-ari ng sasakyan.

nakow! not working yung brakes kse sumalpok na

this will not happen if the transmission is not engaged, so nka D nga yan.. palabirong driver.. hard to believe this. meron na po ba nangyari na ganito sa ibang bansa? Pajero Sport / Dakar, Challenger? parang dito lang sa Pinas ah... heheheh puro Montero Sport sudden acceleration.. hmmmm for insurance claim? -- except kung matting na nman yan

Thanks sa feedback..super.

engine wont start at drive position. otherwise, defective yan.
park position...start engine without steping on the brake peddal.....engine running...shift to drive....the car statrs to run....either you step on the accelerator or the brake...there you go.

almost a year with my MS, wala na yun thug sound na nararamdaman ko.

headlight moist happens during heavy rains

experienced the same thing with aircon as sir easyman3. (twice only)

backing sensor does not beep unless very near na yun obstacle.

Other issue would be engine is much noisier after change oil with casa pero baka issue with oil yun, since mukhang mas ok yun ginamit ko na oil sa pajero (repsol)

while i sympathize with all those who have problems with their montys and by all means i would even raise hell with the dealer/manufacturer, the data i showed simply tells me that this is not a widespread problem nor does it point to any lemon/manufacturing issue worthy of a recall.

the data tilts towards driver error or failure to understand the transmission system of the invecs II engine

as for me, i have no problems with my unit, plain and simple

i hope that those who have problems will be able to resolve this but until then, i am fully satisfied and safe driving my monty
