i read that article, and it says that it is time consuming to pursue further investigations/tests in the computer codes presented by toyota although there were doubts in the way the codes were written suggesting SUA might really occur. There was even a comment by someone in authority (i forgot the name) that if NASA had gone further in the investigation/tests they would have made a conclusive report that SUA was actually real.

Kaya nawawala source mo kasi kalokohan nga. Basahin mo kasi actual report. Hindi nga daw SUA cause.

DTI sets 2nd bidding for testing of ‘faulty’ SUVs

By: Ronnel W. Domingo

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has set a May 30 deadline for the submission of bids on a contract to subject to a comprehensive test five Mitsubishi Montero Sport units which reportedly experienced sudden unintended acceleration (SUA).
This is the second time that the DTI will hold a bidding for third-party laboratory testing of the sport utility vehicle (SUV). The first one in April failed as the lone bidder was deemed ineligible.
With the bids to be opened on May 30, actual tests are expected in June or July.


“We want this matter concluded, the sooner the better,” said Yoshiaki Kato, president and chief executive of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC).
Asked whether the controversy has affected sales of the Montero, especially with a new-generation vehicle launched recently, Kato said in an interview that this was difficult to pinpoint. “There is an impact, but it’s hard to say or describe,” he said.
The MMPC chief explained that monthly sales volume of the new-generation Montero was within the range of 600 to 700 units.
“Before launch, we were selling about 1,500 units a month of the older Montero,” he said.
While this coincided with the height of the SUA controversy, Kato said declining sales were also characteristic of a vehicle model’s end-of-life. The older Montero had been available in the Philippine market since 2008.
“Buyers were aware that a new-generation Montero was coming up so they waited for it to be available instead of buying the older one,” he added.
When the first bidding in April failed, the MMPC reported that strong demand for the controversial SUV was a strong driver of surging first quarter sales.
In one of the supposed SUA cases reported last year, a 25-year-old woman complained that her Montero suddenly accelerated as she was traveling on Quezon Avenue in Quezon City, ramming into a road rail guard and a concrete barrier.

SUA? 3 car accident

We were following the black montero sa zipper lane dito sa skyway. I think we were going around 80km/h.

Traffic stopped infront hanggang buendia na and then

Yun montero sinubukan isingit sa right side pero di siya kasya kaya rear ended the adventure, tas sumampa yun montero sa gutter at tinamaan naman yun kotse sa harap (di ko nakuha yun model), then a thick black smoke came out sa montero.

hindi ko napansin kung umilaw ang brake lights, mas napansin ko kasi nun sumampa sa gutter yun montero. pero yun usok, makapal talaga, mas makapal pa dun sa mga ASBU na nagtetesting ng emission.

buti nalang walang incoming car from the other side, kung hindi, sigurado sapol din yun adventure.

Looks like an ordinary car accident to me. Unless the MS driver came out claiming SUA (which is a poor excuse for how he was driving) --- what he was really doing is changing lanes improperly --- hence the collision.

me think it was an ordinary accident as well because we were not in a stop and go traffic. maybe the attention of the driver was not 100% focus on the road.

Nagulat na nun nakahinto yun traffic sa harap, tried to squeeze in the right side, then instead of stepping on the brake, he stepped on the accelerator, hence, the thick black smoke.
