Engine Problems of Mitsubishi Montero

1997 mitsubish Montero 3. 5 liter automatic- crank shaft bolt has come out on 5 seperate occasions and has cost over $3000 to have it replaced. The inside of the crankshaft where the bolt goes is completely stripped to the point I now have to replace the engine. This is not an isolted issue as this appears to be an inherent problem with all years of Monteros. There should be a recall for this and Mitsubishi should cover the cost for there neglegence.

Our 2002 Mitsubishi Montero engine blew up while my wife was driving the vehicle on a local highway (rt. 680(n)). There was no indication that there was something wrong with the vehicle prior to that day (the "check engine" warning light had never lit up). 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.

2001 Mitsubishi Montero; engine shot on the highway (NJ turnpike). There was no oil warning. This is a life threatening issue-if I had been on the inner lane, I would have been dead. Vehicles on NJ turnpike are traveling 60-80mph. Vehicle has been serviced on timely oil changes at jiffy lube. This should not have happened. It has 90k mlies on it, bought used, I owe $15k on it, it will cost $8k to fix. 2 yrs og payments to go.

The butterfly valve in the intake plenum in the 3. 5l dohc comes loose and drops into the motor which can cause it to stop suddenly, this problem is known by the manufacturer, which is apparent because they have made a replacement part to fix it; however, it is expensive and they do not help with the cost.
