Is your orginization going to test and force a recall on the potential for the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero to tip over. The dealer told me your orginization had no comment because you didn't agree with the consumer reports findings. The report was aired June 20th indicating the 2001 full size Mitsubishi tip over at low speeds. The dealer would not cooperate even though I had the car for only 2 days.
