2001 Mitsubishi Montero---rated not acceptable by consumer reports. Yet after these findings being reported they continued to sell to the unsuspecting public. Why no recall??? I just recently (2003) found this out after searcching the internet for recalls etc. Because of a number of near misses on the highway where my vehicle almost rolled over both with me and my son driving. Do we need to die first????.

When this problem was first reported in may 1999, I was told I will experience vibrations in this type of vehicle (SUV). The problem has persistently gotten worse. I was then told it was the tires and a balance would correct the vibrations. I have had the wheels balance twice and the vibrations still exist. Now I'm being told the chasis bearing have sagged. . Should this type of defect be happening on a 5 month old vehicle?.

After viewing news about rollover my 9 yr daughter has had nightmares and I had to get someone to drive us in another car to go on a family visit to upstate NY,spoke to dealership manager about returning car,his response; I have to pay dealer $10,000 so my credit wont get ruined. There should be a mandatory recall before an accident should happen to someone. Mmca sent me a video which I had my daughter view, but it hasn't changed her prior reaction.
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. Why was no testing done on this vehicle but instead on the sport Montero?.
