Moderators: can we have this forum at least suspended for x hours?

Wishing each other ill on the road is not healthy discussion anymore...

Hoy! Bakit nyo ginaganyan tatay ko! Sobra na kayo para SUA Lang, nagdarasam na ang ama ng tsikot ,,

D bale ama, on probation lang ako kayo di ako makahirit. Pero pag ikaw ng nasasaktan, d Kita matiis alam mo yun

Pero nakakapagtakA talaga, bakit nga ba Montero Lang? Bakit nga ba ..

And then someone's gonna mention the different buyer demographics and media hype singularly focused on the Montero, then someone's gonna go back and say it's an electronic issue, and then driver error, then "why not Fortuner", and then AT interlock, and then "why not Strada", and the cycle continues.

This is getting awfully long in the tooth. [emoji42]

And then somebody else will point out that it has happened to the Fortuner. And the Everest. And the Civic. And, apparently, the Avanza.

People are afraid of Monteros? I'm scared ****less of absolutely everyone else on the road.

They presented a lady who did have SUA while on SCTEX as mentioned in the segment of Abscbn. She said the engine revved and she couldnt stop it so she simply let go which cause her to go over the barriers of SCTEX and tumble down the side of the hill. I believe during the segment she specifically mentioned she couldn't push down the brakes so I am curious whether something got lodged under the brake pedal.

In this case, the likely culprits are either pedal entrapment by the mat (which would partly explain why the brakes couldn't be pressed, because the mat is bunched up under the pedal) or a sticking gas pedal... at full throttle, there is no vacuum to feed the brakes, which means the pedal gets very, very hard.

-

But, this is on gasoline cars, which have a throttle... turbocharged cars typically have no vacuum, and turbodiesels have no throttle plate... so the Montero Sport would likely have a vacuum pump. Which still introduces a second failure necessary to make all of that happen.

In the end, however, it's still possible for the brakes to glaze and overheat if she didn't firmly press down on the pedal and rode them lightly while the car was accelerating.

This particular case, however, was most likely not driver error. What remains to be seen is whether it was physical pedal entrapment by mat or a mechanical pedal failure. Which, again, would require proper documentation of the crash scene, including the interior of the vehicle and the pedal assembly.

Nice read.

Tingin ko kahit mapatunayan ng iba na walang problema ang montero, ipipilit pa rin ng abs cbn. Syempre mapapahiya sila pag wala pala talagang problema

Hindi purkit same Ang technology... Same na din ang quality and issues or problems nyan... Mitsu, Toyota or ford.. They share the same technology but have different manufacturers....

Kaya kung sa Toyota, Walang SUA, it doesn't follow na sa Mitsu wala na din SUA...
Kung ang Toyota Mitsu ford may turbo-- it doesn't mean Pag madali masira turbo Ni ford... Madali na din masira turbo ni Toyota or Mitsubishi....

Bakit naman sa strada walang SUA? It shares the same flatform with the MONTEro---
Edi Sana Yung mga nababanga din sa strada-- blame nalang nila ang SUA pag nabanga Sila...

Tanong ulit-- bakit sa monty Lang?

Nasagot na yan eh, hindi ka ata nagbackread mabuti. Different kind of buyers/users.

Common denominators for MS are old people, hindi pa masyado sanay sa AT cars. Dami kaya mga owners nang SUV ay old people na retired na at yung mga magulang na niregaluhan din nang anak dahil naging successful na.
