ISSUES FOR THE MONTERO SPORT. Please post them here.

If your oil is synthetic, you have the option of not changing the oil at the 1KM PMS check up. Just top it. That's what I did for my 1 KM pms. Never had any problem and I saved a lot of money in my first 1km PMS. The synthetic oil is good for at least 10 KM...you are just throwing away good oil and good money, if you change the oil ASAP.

Guys , how come my SA told me that at 1k pms they don't change oil, only general check up? Change oil n filters in 5k pms. 2011 gls-v? Car world tarlac.

Hello guys!!! I just received a letter from mitsubishi. Letter of notice of recall for repair/inspection for units sold on 2008 and 2009. They said they have notified DTI about this. Maybe someone reported this issue with DTI or some officers of DTI may have purchased a montero. They say it has something to do with the ball joint. It has something to do with the "thud sound' upon sudden acceleration.

Finally, Mitsubishi Philippines is making a move on this issues.

just called my dealer.

the recall/inspection is for both the montero sport and strada 2008-2009

its to check the torque of the ball joint

so far 2010-2011 ms and strada units are not affected

Good day fellow monty riders... I just want to know if you have any experience of driving in a wet pavement and the water splashes into your windshield, that makes the road almost invisible specially if the water is murky?

This happened to me twice already in highway driving in a straight road and luckily there was no incoming vehicle towards me. The splash blinded me for a moment and i find it really quite dangerous.

Do you think it is a design flaw? I haven't change anything means all are still stock... Is this a concern that should be addressed by mitsubishi?

I just noticed it lately. My rear spoiler in my gtv is filling off the unit was only bought last april. Is this under warranty? Is the spoiler carbon fiber?

Common occurence for our MS. Had already informed MMPC on this and they are trying to look into this (although, it is already some months back now). See below response from them:

Water splashing into the Windshield when passing thru a spot of pool water.
The phenomenon of water splashing to the windshield is a common occurrence when driving thru a pool of water at high speed not only with your unit but with other vehicles as well. Nevertheless, we will take note of your comment and study whether there is something in its design that may aggravate such experience.

I have no idea bro. Please contact your service technician in casa. For now, they said its all about tightening of bolts...
