Owner believes that the vehicle needs additional fenders or have a redesigned front skid plate installed under the bumper to stop water from spraying the windshield when driving through four inches of water at 30 mph causing no visibility for several seconds.

The problem is when Montero runs into a flood area (about only 4 inches deep water) with speed about 30 mph, water may spread over the windshield and roof that the drive could not see anything for a couple of seconds.

The consumer feels that the clearance from the ground to the bottom of the vehicle is too high, the consumer does not feel secure in the vehicle when encountering sharp curves and unexpectedly needs to swerve while driving 10-15 mph clearance from the ground to the bottom of the vehicle is too high. The consumer stated that when he encounter sharp curves and unexpectedly needs to swerve at speeds over 10-15 mph, especially when the roads are wet, the consumer also wants to downsize the 16 inch tires to 15 inch tires hoping this will lower the vehicle giving the consumer a safer feel and more control (255/70r16 bridgestone/firestone).
