Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

Masyadong simple yun test. Brakes can also be controlled by the electronic control module (i.e. Stabilty control, etc.). Kung walang ecu errors at the time of test, syempre gagana lahat ng instruments including brakes.

SUA was never proven...Even the Audi and Toyota cases in the US, the NHTSA never found evidence of computer/electronic fault.

NASA did not find an electronic cause of large throttle openings that can result in UA incidents. NHTSA did not find a vehicle-based cause of those incidents in addition to those causes already addressed by Toyota recalls.

Subsequently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concluded that the majority of unintended acceleration cases, including all the ones that prompted the 60 Minutes report, were caused by driver error such as confusion of pedals.

From 2002 to 2009 there were many defect petitions made to the NHTSA regarding unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles, but many of them were determined to be caused by pedal misapplication, and the NHTSA noted that there was no statistical significance showing that Toyota vehicles had more SUA incidents than other manufacturers. Other investigations were closed because the NHTSA found no evidence that a defect existed.

The TPG folks are coming off the idea that all Monteros are defect-free... or if the problem did exist, that it can be easily reproduced (ie. stomping on the gas pedal, dropping the gear at WOT, etc.) Respect to them, but I think that their position which they expressed in all absolute certainty that the problem does not exist, is a slap in the face on the victims that sincerely claim that it did.

Just saying.
