Mitsubishi Montero Sudden Acceleration Accidents [MERGED]

[ClaNker]

Question lang.. Mapapatay mo ba ang makina manually habng tumatakbo ka??
Ok b kung tumatakbo ka downhill... Put the gear on Neutral... Then off the engine... And put the key into ACC position... So that the battery will operate on power steering and break... In this case free wheeling ka downhill... Anyone tried?

If you want to die then the answer is yes.

Why would anyone even do that? Trip lang?

To save gas.

Which is stupid, because all modern cars cut the fuel injectors when you're coasting in gear.

I've gotten up to 25-30 km/l from my CR-V going downhill, coasting with the engine on.

Granted, you can do even better with the engine off. You can also wreck your car the moment a tricycle pulls out of a side road, or when a bus coming up the other way tries to overtake around a blind bend and you don't have enough braking power to stop.

Mapapatay mo pero this is dangerous, biglang titigas ang steering at brakes dahil yung pump niya ay connected sa ikot ng makina hindi sa battery (hydraulics). Di ko alam kung sa EPS same din.

As per manufacturer, not recommended to put the gear on Neutral if the vehicle is in motion specially sa mga AT, sa MT pwede pa siguro.

Masisira lang AT mahal pa naman pagawa neto.

The SUA victims group proposed a "win-win" situation where MMPC will "repair" older MS by installing the new features of the 2016 MS. Is that a joke???

Gusto lang yata ng mga victims ma-upgrade yung ride nila for free. (joke joke).

Seriously, is such an "upgrade" even possible? Assuming it is, how much will it cost MMPC? 20k per vehicle? Assuming 60k cars will be "upgraded" that's a whopping 1.2 Billion pesos. Huwaaaw.

Funny when the Bias Network wonders why the MS 2nd hand market is having problems, when they are the main reason.

Halos araw araw lumalabas ng balita sa mga alleged SUA... Same story, same profile of a SUA victim (elderly this time with medical problems).

Tama yung MMPC, what is the use a recall when the DTI don't know what is wrong with the MS.

Imbestigahan na ito ng Senate under 2 committees.
