Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[OTEP]

Hilux yan sir. Ang ganda ng pagkaka pic, hehe.

On a side note, first time namin paservice outside ng dealer yung 2010 Monty Sport ni Doctora. No SUA problems for the past 2 years.

Spoke with a former HS barkada last week and i was informed that a former classmate bumped a pedestrian when his 2011 Montero suddenly accelerated while waiting for the green light at an intersection. Buti na lang, he had the presence of mind to shift the transmission to neutral from drive in a split second lessening the impact. minor bruise lang daw yung pedestrian thank God....

1. Accelerator ang inapakan imbes na brake, SUA?
2. Nag drive ng lasing. SUA?

first time I sat on a Montero sa CASA. checked the GLX non-VGT A/T variant which is one of our choices together with the all-new Ford Ranger. One thing I noticed sa A/T montero is that the Gearshift can be shifted without stepping on the brakes. with the engine off and no stepping on brakes, just pull the small lever switch and you can shift it at any gear (I did). ganun ba talaga yun? no shift lock? para kasing di kapanipaniwala as if naman ang hirap gumawa ng shift lock. .

personally, no offense, I didn't believe on MS SUA since the issue started. what I observed with the shifter further made me believe that there is no issue indeed with the montero. the shifter, having no shift lock, yun malamang ang dahilan on these crashes, shifting to D knowing that you are stepping on the brakes, unfortunately, you are stepping on gas then Boom...

totoo ba 'to. if that's the case then lalo tayo mag-ingat. dami bagong tanga driver ng mid-suv ngaun. and i see a lot of young girls driving a Montero. kakatakot. sa Sta Fe kasi may shift lock

Gated shifters dont really have shiftlocks, right? Does the Fortuner have a shift lock? Gated Benzes don't.

No shift lock. You can shift a Fort straight into reverse at speed. Only the gates keep you from doing so.

fortuners have shift lock, you cant shift when engine is off unless you press the shift button.
