Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[Retz]

Just when exactly does a driver becomes "old" ?

[niky]

well for me, be it the fault of the driver or mechanical issues.. truth is a dozen incident happened regarding this, whereas 1 or 2 accident with other brand.. so why i would gamble my life, the life of my family on this vehicle whereas there is other options in the market... it is a hit and miss thing... so I bought other brand reading those accident...just for the peace of my mind.... just me..... and I am 40 years old....

Yeah. And for my peace of mind, I don't gamble my life on V8 muscle cars...

Well... when the Mazda3 first came out, there were dozens of accidents involving Mazda3s and 18-20 year old male drivers. Yet people didn't pay much attention. But when it's 60+ year old drivers pulling out of parking spaces and banging into things... then it becomes the fault of the car?

And, as a reminder. The Philippines is the only country this is happening in. No reported incidents in Thailand, Indonesia or Malaysia, where they receive the exact same car. And no incidents involving the Strada at all.

Given the factors, that all accidents are local, mostly with really old drivers and limited to here, don't you kind of get the feeling that the "X" factor might be something other than mechanical?

Same goes for the Corolla AE89 1.6L GL when it first came out. A number of accidents where the car flew off the ground due to excess speeds.

even all the paSUAys could not stop/dissuade CAGI from declaring the MS as the Best Midsize 4x2 & 4x4 SUV for 2011-2012

Kawawa ka naman, natakot ka dahil sa black propaganda.

May kasabihan nga, "Ang naniniwala sa sabi-sabi, walang bait sa sarili". Just an opinion also.

your age + 1 = old.
heh heh.
bob hope was once asked, "who wants to live to 90?"
bob answers, "ask anyone who's 89."

CAGI members cannot take into consideration reported incidents that have no factual basis. We base our scores based on real/actual driving tests done.

black propaganda.. white propaganda.. it's all a matter of point of view, depending on where you are standing. why, some of them may even be honest mistakes!
my point is, there's a lot of balderdash out there masquerading as scientific truth. so, how do we sift thru it all? or do we buy the vehicle and do a mythbuster? heh heh.

Nag-myth buster na nga si ferman lao and co., pero wala pa din. Meron lang talagang sobrang naniniguro IMO.
