1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 1998 Mitsubishi Montero

Failure Date: 08/13/2020

The vehicle was taken to southside Mitsubishi in orlando and because a mechanic named bob who's been there for over 20 years says it's the original but it's not the original bolt they don't want to honor the recall I argued with them multiple times. . The original bolt is me203072, and the Montero has the same bolt as the pajero . This vehicle with VIN ja4mr31h0wj003135 had the bolt snap off. . If it was already fixed like southside Mitsubishi said it shouldn't have snapped. They repeatedly do not want to give a straight answer and keep transferring the phone around.

Our 2002 Mitsubishi Montero engine blew up while my wife was driving the vehicle on a local highway (rt. 680(n)).

At the time this instance occurred, my wife was driving the vehicle on the freeway as it went up in smoke, essentially endangering her life along with the surrounding motorists, should this really happen to a vehicle that is only 5 years old.
