2 Equipment problem of the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero

Failure Date: 12/16/2021

After googling and doing a little reaching I found out it is a very common problem amongst these vehicles that the horn starts blaring in the early morning hours non stop until unplugging the fuse or battery. I have to remove the fuse therefore I’m unsafe knowing that I’m driving without any communication with other vehicles. It is a very expensive repair that most people can’t afford so they’re left doing what I learned to do which puts a lot of people in danger. Please help with this safety concern.

Failure Date: 05/06/2021

At the moment the only situation that I have had with the Mitsubishi airbag recall is that when I call the customer relations department they say they do not have the parts, that supposedly the Mitsubishi company has not yet sent the replacement parts. . . . . I have to call within 2 months to see if the parts have arrived at the repair shops.

On 9/4/2017 at approximately 615am the vehicle was parked in the garage. 10 minutes later our puppy was barking at the door leading to garage. Husband went to see why and saw smoke coming from the door. He opened the door and the garage was filled with black smoke and there was a fire on the underside of the vehicle.

Aging of the cosmetic vinyl covering on steering wheel that covers air bag module will contract too much in cold weather, approximately 40 degrees f or lower causing car horn to go off even without engine running.

13 Equipment problem of the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero

Failure Date: 02/29/2012

The horn randomly starts blaring in the middle of the night if you do not remove the fuse. If you remove the fuse it leaves you with no horn! completely unsafe when driving not to have a horn. Clearly this defect was never corrected by the manufacturer. After looking for a cause in many forums, it is clear no one is certain of the actual cause.
