Problem with front and rear differential reported to dealership. They did nothing to fix, just reset check engine light. 3 weeks later car was in a rollover accident. Driver steered slightly to avoid collision with another vehicle that was making an illegal lane change and Montero went out of control. Neither steering nor braking could stop or affect what was happening.

what was done: replaced differential 4 times, mitsubushi cant fix car, says is a defect flaw and is not a problem with safety or product liability. Refuses to replace vehicle and or compensate for defective differential. Mediation suggested mitsubushi replace car have other complaints with same problem year 2001 Montero. Dealership unwilling to cooperate. Ishmael martinez told me the noise was normal and there would be no safety issues. I work for a metro police department and the auto mechanic told me yes there are safety issues if the differential failed completely and it could cause me to be thrown off the road.
